The voices of reform. The final stretch. Interview by Renee Blankenau.

Following a complex research and development process last year that led to the drafting of a comprehensive health care reform proposal, President Bill Clinton presented the U.S. Congress and the nation with an outline for reform in September, and followed up with a detailed plan and with a reform bill in October. Now it's Congress' turn to respond. Hospitals & Health Networks' senior editor Renee Blankenau interviewed 11 members of Congress whose views represent a broad spectrum of congressional opinion. What version of federal reform will emerge this year? These legislators have the inside track.

Interview with Senator Don Nickles on domestic health care issues. Interview by Richard L. Reece.

Senator Nickles (R-Okla) was interviewed in March in his Oklahoma City office on the 18th floor of the Liberty Bank Building. The interview was shortened by a late start and because the Senator was on his way to an editorial meeting of the Daily Oklahoman. Nonetheless, Senator Nickles, a young and energetic man in his early forties, was relaxed and in no apparent rush. Nickles, still the youngest Senator in Washington, has been a US Senator for 11 years. Because of the combination of youth and promise of long tenure, he is considered to be a rising power in the Senate. He is a conservative and a philosophical ally of medicine.
