Health care debate: Hope and skepticism on the front lines - Friday, December 11, 2009

By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY

Some of the CEOs and administrators say they look forward to legislation that could provide health insurance for up to 96% of legal residents under the age of 65, compared with the 83% who have it now. But they're also skeptical that the government will be able to cut skyrocketing costs and help provide coverage to as many as now need help.
