Well, no C-SPAN of the negotiations, but I look forward to seeing the list. And for those of us who did call for more transparency than the opaque Bush, bravo. We win.

"To achieve health care reform, "I'm going to have all the negotiations around a big table. We'll have doctors and nurses and hospital administrators. Insurance companies, drug companies -- they'll get a seat at the table, they just won't be able to buy every chair. But what we will do is, we'll have the negotiations televised on C-SPAN, so that people can see who is making arguments on behalf of their constituents, and who are making arguments on behalf of the drug companies or the insurance companies. And so, that approach, I think is what is going to allow people to stay involved in this process."

--Barack Obama, at a town hall meeting on Aug. 21, 2008, in Chester, Va.

Yeah, he should definitely reveal such names and I hope they follow through completely. It looks like health care will be the major legislative issue for the entire year.
