Who are the other players in the health reform proposal game?

The debate over health care reform is not just about details. It is also about power and the role of government. The type of health care reform that passes will determine whether, and to what degree, one seventh of the U.S. economy will be controlled by government. And, it will determine to what degree some of our most personal and private decisions are controlled by government. This is not an issue where compromises should come lightly. Certainly, they should not come preemptively.
