Synopsis:
It was a stunning paradox. Health reform, a popular issue that Bill Clinton and the Democrats skillfully featured in the 1992 campaign, became the spearpoint of the most concerted attack on government in recent American history. A year after it hadbeen introduced to acclaim from almost all quarters, Clinton's compromise plan lay in political wreckage. In this incisive account, a prize-winning Harvard social scientist draws on contemporary documents, media coverage, and confidential White House strategy memos to offer deep insights into the changing terrain of U.S. politics and public policy. President Clinton and his closest advisers thought they had found an ideal "middle way" between excessive government regulation and the play of free market forces in their plan to extend health care coverage to all Americans, not foreseeing that they were creating an ideal target for their political enemies. By 1994 the conservatives needed a cause to attract middle-class voters and unite widespread groups in opposition to the federal government and an already weakenedDemocratic party. The Health Security bill, as Theda Skocpol discloses, inadvertently became a perfect foil for anti-government mobilization. Its enemies found it easy to distort while its supporters failed to marshaltheir forces at a criticaltime.
Review:
"...[It] is Ms. Skocpol's perspective that gives her book its value. She adds a spirited outlook to the post-mortem debate over President Clinton's health care fiasco and its impact on American politics."
