The new Health Information Center, founded by Andrew Grossman, a veteran Democratic operative, aims to solidify weak public support for the new law.

Sen. Kennedy was a long-term advocate of health reform. Mr. Daschle, who wrote a 2008 book advocating health reform, was President Obama’s original choice to oversee the reform effort, but he withdrew his nomination due to his connection with lobbyists.
