Bridging the Enthusiasm Gap: Obama and the Conventional Wisdom

ObamaCare is essentially HillaryCare (which I thought was terrible for the same reasons then), with one difference: The secret task force writing it behind closed doors in 1993 was, in 2010, Congress.



The objections to HillaryCare were reported in the media the same way they're were reported in 2010 (Republicans, saying there's either no problem or that this isn't the solution to the problem). Now as then, the media completely ignored the leftwing's objections which were the same, i.e., maintains status quo of employer-provided, for-profit, instead of expanding Medicare, making it single payer universal health care.



Bill Clinton, selling HillaryCare in 1993, in a couple of nationally televised Town Halls, was as tone deaf & oblivious to the objections as Obama has been from the Democratic Party's base (& healthcare professionals nationwide).
