For all the young president's popularity, the response he got Monday from doctors at an American Medical Association meeting was a sign his road is only going to get rockier as he tries to sell his plan to overhaul the nation's health care system.
The boos erupted when Obama told the doctors in Chicago he wouldn't try to help them win their top legislative priority-limits on jury damages in medical malpractice cases.
Every other group in the health care debate has a wish list and a top priority. Insurers don't want competition from the government. Employers don't want to be told they have to offer medical coverage to their workers. Hospitals want to stave off Medicare cuts. Drug companies want to charge what the market will bear.
Obama can't give all of them what they want. Instead, he's got to figure what's just enough to keep as many groups as possible on board-without
alienating others. It's a fine line for him-and sometimes for them.
