The answer is that we need to keep working our way through the large number of items that are on the table, which is going to take a lot of time and effort.

“We would suggest now that we begin dealing in earnest with the many proposals that are on the table. If you want to continue talking about healthcare, let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about a five-year deal. If you have changed your minds again and you don’t want to talk about that any more, let’s talk about something else. We have a lot of work ahead of us, you have wasted a month, and we suggest that we get on with it.
