It's been a long year of contentious congressional negotiations, raucous town hall meetings, and stiff political battle lines over President Obama's push for health care reform. You can be forgiven for occasionally getting lost along the bumpy political road that led the president and 40 lawmakers to gather around a table Thursday to attempt to reach a consensus. Luckily for you, the NewsHour has distilled months of health reform coverage into a single highlight reel. From Tom Daschle's withdrawal from the health czar nomination and lawmakers' rambunctious town hall meetings in their home districts to the debate over the public option and the Republicans' upset win in Massachusetts, here's a look at how we got where we are in the ongoing health care reform debate.
