Top aides to Senate Democrats met with former Clinton administration advisers before the congressional summer break in another bid to determine where the last health care reform push went wrong, and how to avoid a repeat of the mistakes, reports the New York Times.

- Get support from key players such as doctors and insurance companies, the interest groups which killed the Clinton Administration's push.
