Right now, there's a closed room in the Capitol. That room includes Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Max Baucus, Kathleen Sebelius, Rahm Emanuel and a handful of other lawmakers. That's it. That group will decide what the final Senate bill will look like. What are they discussing right now? No one outside that group knows. What deals are being made? No one outside that group knows.

Instead, the final bill will be decided by a small group of lawmakers all behind closed doors. In the House, the process is even less transparent, if that's possible.
