@ Christopher Carrington
The very fact that you imagine that Hillary Clinton botched the effort for health care in 1993 suggests just how vacuous your analysis of politics actually is. I am not supporting Hillary, but anyone who blames Hillary for the defeat of the 1993 health care effort needs a basic education in how corporate and industry interests influence our political process.
So, it's not Hillary's fault that her plan failed, because she was up against stiff opposition? Isn't that the sort of thing she should have expected and prepared for? Was she not aware that for-profit healthcare is a multi-billion-dollar industry? Did she think that her initiatives were just going to be licked into law by kittens?
