“Passage of the Clinton health plan in any form would be disastrous,” Mr. Kristol wrote, italicizing for emphasis. “It would guarantee an unprecedented federal intrusion into the American economy. Its success would signal the rebirth of centralized welfare-state policy at the moment that such policy is being perceived as a failure in other areas.” Two decades after Mr. Clinton’s ultimately failed attempt, Obamacare poses the same sort of threat. right.

Doctors don't like it either. Citizens are overwhelmingly against it. ============================== * Two-thirds, or 65%, of doctors say they oppose the proposed government expansion plan. This contradicts the administration's claims that doctors are part of an "unprecedented coalition" supporting a medical overhaul. * Four of nine doctors, or 45%, said they "would consider leaving their practice or taking an early retirement" if Congress passes the plan the Democratic majority and White House have in mind.* More than 800,000 doctors were practicing in 2006, the government says. Projecting the poll's finding onto that population, 360,000 doctors would consider quitting.

Only eight percent (8%) agree with the Obama administration’s decision to waive documented proof that all applicants are giving honest information. * Most voters still don't like the health care law, and 54% expect it to increase, not reduce, health care costs. From the beginning of the debate over the law four years ago, voters have consistently said that cost is their number one health care concern. * Thirty percent (30%) believe the nation’s health care system will get better under the new law, the most positive assessment to date. Fifty-one percent (51%) still think the law will make the health care system worse. rasmussenreports.com
