Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala told reporters a scaled-back approach was the only politically viable option, since voters "told us they were very gun-shy over taking on the whole system, every aspect of it.

All this to thwart any criticism that either Shalala or Kunin were using their connections for gain...
