The Republicans have not been working in good faith. Their public, stated goal is to make Heath reform "Obama's Waterloo." It may be better to have a bipartisan bill, but there is no way that is going to happen.

Personally I don't see this election result as much of a setback. As long as Lieberman is the 60'th vote, there is no workable super majority. The US Senate would be a much better place without his small mindedness and his Napoleon complex.
