Ignani and Tauzin

Interesting story about Billy Tauzin, chief lobbyist for pharmacetical industry and Karen Ignani, chief lobbyist for health insurance industry.

Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee sums up big picture of the reform deals with these two groups over the summer: “The basic deal for these two industries, and others, is that they promised to behave if they get 40 million new customers. But now they are seeing they might not get as many new customers, and they are wondering if they still have to behave.”
