Rove, Dean, Daschle, Frist Debate Healthcare

Karl Rove, a former top adviser for President George W. Bush and former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean will be on hand for the panel discussion in Atlanta. So will a pair of one-time Senate majority leaders - Democrat Tom Daschle and Republican Bill Frist. They will debate health care at the BIO International Conference on Wednesday. The faceoff comes as President Barack Obama launches a push to overhaul the nation's health care system to drive costs down and cover more Americans. Republicans have warned Obama's plan
would expand the size of government, and favor a market-driven approach.
