This Sunday: After sparring with his 2008 presidential opponent -- President Barack Obama -- at this week's health care summit, Sen. John Mccain (R-AZ) sits down for an exclusive interview on this Sunday's "Meet the Press."

What, if anything, was achieved at this bipartisan meeting?

And how will Democrats and Republicans work together to confront health care reform and all the other challenges facing Washington, including terrorism, the economy and more? We'll get answers from this four-term Senator up this year for re-election.

Then, can President Obama find a way to bring Republicans and Democrats together on health care reform? What did his televised summit this week achieve and what are the President's priorities for reform? We'll speak exclusively with the Director of the White House Office of Health Reform, Nancy-Ann Deparle.

Finally, as the 2010 midterm elections approach and Washington remains gridlocked, how can incumbents in Congress convince their constituents that they are still right for the job? Will the Democratic Party's fortunes depend on President Obama's success? And can anything really be achieved in Washington without some sort of compromise between the two sides? Our roundtable weighs in: two political insiders -- Republican Whip Rep. ERIC CANTOR (R-VA) and National Urban League President Marc Morial; plus two Washington journalists -- BBC World News America's Katty Kay & Atlantic Media's Ron Brownstein.

John McCain should quit trying to stall health insurance reform. He has excellent health insurance and therefore there is no sense of urgency for him or any one in Congress. I, on the other hand, am a 44 year old woman with breast cancer who cannot get health insurance. We need change and we need it now. Please stop stalling and start helping the American public.
(And I agree - he needs to get over the campaign and move on - do some work)

Will they have to compromise? Are you kidding me? Of course they do! That's the point of our system. We want balance; we do not want a one-sided deal. If you give us nothing but the democratic views, 50% of the country will be enraged and within 4 years, it will all go the other way, completely destroying anything you do today. Do something that makes everyone happy, do something that makes sense. Don't jam Massachusetts healthcare down our throats just because one party is slightly in control for a year.

The problem is the doctors by the way. We have too much demand. You need more supply. The government CANNOT SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

RBR-TVBR readers rejected PRA negotiations two weeks ago. 8/23 NAB explained the proposal and wants the industry’s opinion, so we’ve simplified the answers and we're putting it before you again:
