Senator Tom Daschle's narrative of
what went on behind the scenes in the making of the new
health care legislation delivers a powerful lesson in the
workings of American politics. The
evolution of health care reform was drawn-out, frustrating,
and complicated, but Senator Tom Daschle is the ideal person
to recount the process. His account will guide you
through the entire story, from the earliest presidential
campaign debates -- and his firsthand experiences in the
Obama team -- through the battles on Capitol Hill to solve
our most serious health care problems. Not simply a
book about policy, Daschle’s narrative describes in vivid
detail how fragile the support in Congress was at every step
of the way, as well as the frantic efforts to design a
rescue strategy before time ran out.
Combining his insights as a health care expert
and his political expertise, this is the inside story about
how the new legislation came together: from the persistence
of President Obama to the subsequent efforts--and counter
efforts--within the Senate and the House. In Daschle's
hands, this becomes a dramatic personal story and a
remarkable lesson in politics at the highest level.
