Senate Democrats attended a closed-door strategy sessions with White House adviser David Axelrod and acknowledged "they have their work cut out for them on health care during the August recess," Roll Call reports.
Senators said that Axelrod focused on a message built around "health insurance reform," as opposed to "health care reform." Advice was also given on how to deal with protesters expected to pack town-hall meetings across the country over the next month.
Politico notes that "conservative and business groups, some funded in part by insurers, are mobilizing members and supporters to participate in health care forums that lawmakers are holding in their states and districts this month."
