Battle of the U.S. Senators

To the extent any effort exists, it doesn't matter, as long as the Dems can stand in it's way.

They truly believe they cannot be seen to support any Republican idea, no matter what.
Hmm yet the only bi-partisan thing republicans want to have is to try to implicate democrats in republican scandals
I can't believe you are not aware of this.

I think you posted as I was explaining. By having no policy while more and more people are finding themselves unable to afford private health insurance and more companies are either reducing cover, reducing company payments or not providing health insurance at all, more and more are forced into state schemes.

Hence republican policy is driving towards state run healthcare

Market forces, my friend.

Had they been allowed to work at the outset, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Actually, if "State-run health-care" meant that it would be run by the States, that might not be so bad...
