The Goldwater Institute in Arizona, for example, is sponsoring such a measure as an amendment on the state constitution that will be the Arizona ballot next year, and it is looking to put it on ballots in other states.

Insurance companies, hospitals and other health care interests have become involved in these state-level movements, hoping that they can influence the final wording of the federal bill.
