it's always difficult to tell the players without a score card, especially on this issue. i think i can use this in some of my real life arguments. thanks, thanks, and thanks again for that link.

so, a listing of not-trustworthies, from your link:

  • Divided We Fail
  • AARP
  • Business Roundtable
  • Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
  • National Coalition on Benefits
  • U. S. Chamber of Commerce
  • Health Care for America Now (HCAN)
  • Families USA
  • American Hospital Association
  • Catholic Health Association of the United States
  • National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB)
  • America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP)

to which i'll add a link to

SEIU

depends on the local, the international is making mischief, but individual SEIU locals are doing great work. Labor is often like that.
