That’s the assessment on health care reform provided by our very own Sen. Dick Durbin to ABC News on Monday.

They say it takes two to tango, but Durbin and the Democrats apparently prefer to dance by themselves.

They are threatening to use a little known procedural trick called reconciliation (a.k.a., “The Nuclear Option) to force through a health care bill that the American people don’t want — and can’t afford.

Please click here right now to email Senator Durbin to ask him to seek a bipartisan solution on health care reform.

It may be easier — at least for people with two left feet — to dance without a partner, but there’s something profoundly sad about the spectacle, if not downright disturbing.

Democrats may say that they have no choice, that the Republicans don’t want to dance with them — but the fact is that there’s a give and take to dancing and Democrats aren’t willing to give.

They want everything their way. But that’s not how dancing works … or legislation, either.

Unlike some of his colleagues in the Senate, and all members of the House, Durbin doesn’t come up for reelection this year. In fact, he doesn’t run again until 2014 — by which time, he no doubt hopes, his role in the health care reform debacle will be a distant memory for most of his constituents.

Let’s disabuse him of that hope. Let’s let him know that we’re paying attention and we will remember.

Email Sen. Durbin today and tell him he needs to take some dance lessons.

Tell Durbin that he needs to drop the extreme partisanship and work with the Republicans to draft a real reform bill … one that actually lowers costs, improves health care access and doesn’t bankrupt our country.

Tell him we want a bipartisan solution, or none at all.
