I second Chris’s recommendation to read the New York Times article today on industry’s partnership with the White House on health care reform. The piece comes very close to explaining the landscape correctly, I think, but at least one part deserves immediate response.

The article uncritically quotes W.H. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel saying, “The very groups we have been talking to have been the most vocal opponents of health care reform; they are now becoming the vocal proponents for health care reform.” This is misleading or dishonest.
