Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has signaled the Obama administration is willing to make a deal on a key part of the health care plan that the president has been pushing.

Sebelius told CNN on Sunday that the White House would be open to consumer-owned nonprofit co-ops. The co-ops would operate under a national structure with state affiliates, but independent of the government.

The big story here is that the House put forward a single bill from three separate committees with competing interests.

That’s significant since this was one of the biggest problems in 1994…each committee put forward their own bills and chaos ensued.
