"He's an interesting guy for them to have picked. He's not going to roll over and play dead," says Bainbridge. "If he wants to, he has the resources to take this case all the way up to the Supreme Court." If it comes to that, the case could take on real significance...

The former Senate Democratic leader has an understanding of the nation's health-care problem that comes not just from Senate hearing rooms or staff briefings. Daschle has seen, as few in Washington have, the particular toll that the broken system has taken on rural America. When I went to South Dakota 15 years ago to do a story on the problem, Daschle drove me around himself, spreading a road map on the front seat of his car and taking me to places where poverty rates...
