Health Care Opposition Exposed; Ex-White House Drug Spokesman Bob Weiner and Analyst Jordan Osserman Tell of 'Web of Vested Interests'
Date:8/12/2009

ost figures for reform, Pelosi confirmed that "of course CBO should" but did not measure and report consumer savings due to the legislation, not just government costs.

Weiner and Osserman conclude, "Opposition is stiffening from key business groups like the National Association of Manufacturers, Chamber of Commerce, and Business Roundtable. Insurance companies they represent want the highest profit. The sooner we realize they're not on patients' side, the sooner the nation will achieve health care for all and save lives."
