Nativism, hollow corporations, and managed competition: why the Clinton health care reform failed

Article Abstract:

The failure of health care reform can be traced to a number of factors, including strategic errors, institutional fragmentation and overlooked alternatives. Social trends such as revived nativism and declining corporate responsibility both contributed to and were exacerbated by the failed reform effort. The Democrats simply lacked the votes to put a reform bill through Congress. Moreover, the political and business structure both work against any broad reform. Expansion of the existing Medicare system represents the most politically feasible route to reform.
