Kaiser Health News' Eric Pianin talks with former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., about his new book, "A Heart to Serve, The Passion to Bring Health, Hope, and Healing." Frist also offers his views on the health care debate on Capitol Hill and predicts that Congress will ultimately approve a $1 trillion health care reform plan that will expand insurance coverage to millions but do very little to "bend the cost curve" (10/1).
