Powerful health industry groups that have held back in their criticisms of specific reform proposals will soon have to choose whether to endorse, or formally oppose, President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.
The result could be a flurry of associations embracing Democratic efforts to reform the nation’s healthcare system, which would likely push the legislation to Obama’s desk. Or it could mirror the battle of the 1990s, when an array of healthcare groups crushed President Bill Clinton’s plan, subsequently leading to the GOP takeover of Congress in 1994.
Lobbying organizations representing every healthcare sector from the insurers to the drug companies to the hospitals have maintained a pro-reform stature all year.

No surprises these lobbyists will hover over any legislation like the bunch of vultures they are.
