President Barack Obama says it's going to be very difficult to push a major healthcare overhaul through Congress.
But the president says he really thinks "the stars may be aligned" and that a deal can get done if everyone involved works in a spirit of compromise, rather than rigid ideology.
Obama tells C-SPAN in an interview airing Saturday that he's "absolutely committed" to keeping the process moving forwardto find ways to cut costs, increase efficiency and make sure families can get healthcare coverage without bankrupting them.
Obama says changing the healthcare system will cost a lot of money upfrontbut in the long run end up saving lots of money.
