title: It may be politics over policy in 2000.
abstract: Thanks to election-year realities, it's likely to be politics over policy on Capitol Hill in 2000. Congress and the Clinton administration have plenty of unfinished healthcare business, but with the pressures of the campaign trail, expect a shortened legislative window of opportunity. While healthcare remains high on everyone's agenda, the likelihood of compromise remains low.
