what kind of ‘health reform’?
From what I know of Ashley, I think she would be fine with just about anything that lowers her and her employee costs so that people can afford coverage. She’s a pretty practical person.

Howard Dean says “Kill The Bill” (Senate). Notice how Southerners are NOT key players in any of the high level debates regarding medical care in Washington.
Assuaging the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries was a central preoccupation of the White House — hence the deal negotiated in strict secrecy with Pharma to ban bulk price negotiations and drug reimportation, a blatant violation of both Obama’s campaign positions on those issues and his promise to conduct all negotiations out in the open.
