title: Employers are cautiously optimistic about health care after election 2002.
abstract: The Director of Public Policy from the Washington Business Group on Health offers his take on how health care legislation will be addressed in the new Congress. Will the Republican majority work cohesively to reform Medicare? The author believes that "Congress is poised to act on critical legislation to fill some of the gaps in our health care system and has retreated from issues that would only have added more stress to it."
