'We Should Pick the Low-Hanging Fruit First.' Bill Clinton Wades Into the Health Care Debate

26. So you're going to avoid answering the question, and persist in the false dillema fallacy.

Gotcha.

And on top of that, you're trashing the ACA, which is the farthest we've ever gotten down the road to Universal Health Care.

Thank you on behalf of the millions who benefitted from it.



BTW - Obama wasn't even going to try for the ACA, but Pelosi told him she could do it, and she delivered.

Yeah, it wasn't a Ferrari, but it had four wheels and it ran. You prefer that those who would have died without it didn't get it because it wasn't a Ferarri?

Ted Kennedy lost the chance at anything close to it when he walked away from the table with Nixon, because Democrats told him "single payer or nothing."

Nixon put forth a plan that was to the left of the ACA. Kennedy said it was one of the biggest regrets of his career, because if he had come to some kind of compromise, we might have something now that is much, much closer to what the other industrialized countries have.

I'm glad that Obama and Pelosi learned from that, even if others refused to.

The ego of some politicians is a stubborn thing, and many, many have paid the price for it.
