I bet you could hear a pin drop. The head of the largest health care union should be the last to capitulate, not the first. Pay close attention to what happens the first 100 days. National coverage is needed, but some major games will be played by "the privates" to eek out their best deal. It seems unions are ready to facilitate the shift.
