As most of corporate America sits on the health-care sidelines -- issuing vague statements, trying not to offend a new U.S. president -- Steve Burd has charged into the political debate. By the end of his trip to DC, the Safeway CEO will have told all 100 U.S. senators his company's health-care story. "I'm here because health-care simply isn't a partisan issue," he says. There is what works, and what doesn't. "I'm genuinely concerned someone might try to solve this by nationalizing health care, at the moment we at Safeway have proven that it is the market that reins in costs."
Mr. Burd Goes to Washington
