Help NPR identify these people.........
Who Is Shaping Your Health Care Coverage?



It’s these people. But who are they? That is what NPR wants to know. They have a photo taken at the Senate hearing where 22 senators were working through the new health care bill. It shows everyone in the audience; people with enough stake in the process to sit through this laborious process. So, who are these people. Mostly, lobbyists, but lobbyists aren’t usually recognizeable by face. So, NPR has asked us to help them figure out who are the people attempting to influence the new health care bill. Recognize any of these faces? Get in touch via email or Twitter and help fill in the labels to give us a full picture of all the interests at work on this important issue.

2. On TV programs forensic detectives have software that can measure
the faces on photographs, like from surveillance cameras, and then match it to a database of photos that identify who the people possibly might be. I don't know if such software in fact exists, but if it does, maybe they should try to find a lab that will do it for them.

3. NPR? Doesn't sound like NPR. Sounds like investigative work on behalf of little
people - that's not the new NPR because it would become news and their news and commentary on the news favors corporations.
