The pressure mounts for the Senators in Washington to agree on health care reform. Senator John Thune will use the days ahead to garner support.
As an architect of the measure, Thune ponders what the eventual outcome would be if this effort falls short.

Thune admits there is a good amount of government involved in health care with few openings to escape.

Complicating matters for Thune and the rest of the senators is that health care is deeply personal and emotionally charged while having an effect on everyone.
No matter the outcome, Thune is confident the topic of health care will affect the 2018 election cycle.
