<<She put together a proposal and it didnt fly - SO WHAT. What is the issue here huh?>> The specific issues people had with the plan itself were already discussed on another person's response to you. However, I think the question you were asking here is germane. The issue as I remember it was that Hillary was not elected, not appointed, had no official position, and yet was the head of this committee. She also put together a group of people that tried to hold meetings in secret, something that was prohibited by law. Hillary claimed that the particular makeup of the committee (public employee or private industry member) was such that open meetings were not required. That turned out to not be true, since she had misrepresented the status of various members of the committee. It looked to many people as if Hillary was trying to bypass the rules imposed on government and force her health care proposal down the throats of an unwilling public. The short answer - it wasn't the proposal, it was the way the agenda was pursued, using back-room power politics instead of open debate.
