After the posse euthanizes the morning's catch by swiftly severing its brain stem, the men examine its entrails. "She was eating well out there," says Graziani, noting the large fatty deposits and the animal fur in its stool.

Dr. Bob Kocher, a special assistant at the National Economic Council, was on the cream-colored brocade couch across from Obama, laying out figures that showed what a sinkhole the country's health-care system has become: the U.S. spends more to get less than just about every other industrialized country. Still, Obama and his team are aware that the more Americans learn about how Washington proposes to cure that system, the more skeptical they are about the whole...
