Interests? What Interests?

The Washington Post?s Dan Balz reports today on the left?s growing doubts about Obama.

The ?immediate cause for the rebellion,? he writes, is fear that the public option will be sacrificed, but that has given way to ?broader criticisms,? such as: ?Is Obama tough enough to defeat the interests arrayed against health-care legislation??

What ?interests? would those be? The AMA? Hospitals? Big Pharma? The AARP? Last time I looked (about 30 seconds ago), all the ?interests? I could think of were supporting Obama?s proposals (whatever they are). And when?s the last time you saw an ad opposing the legislation sponsored by the insurance industry?

Would someone from the left please provide a list of the ?interests? blocking Obama?s reform?
