Does the captioned phrase mean "restart the debate"?
headline of the New York Times:
Obama Moves to Reclaim the Debate on Health Care

| If you reclaim something, you take it back it's something that you used to own or control. So the headline is about Obama taking control of the debate again; other branches of government and lobbyists have been arguing over healthcare, what's important and what should be changed, and Obama wants more influence. |
