The goal of providing affordable health care coverage to all U.S. residents has eluded every president
who has attempted to reach it since Theodore Roosevelt first made it an issue in his last presidential campaign in 1912.
Attempts to expand coverage were made by Presidents:

Franklin Roosevelt;
Harry Truman;
Dwight Eisenhower;
John Kennedy;
Lyndon Johnson; and
Richard Nixon.

All of them failed. This time it appears there's a real effort to try
and tackle an exploding problem but little effort to get behind the
the program to make the needed changes.

The question is, why so much poisonous venom now?

It's my guess there's much more going on below the surface than
all the shouting and screaming and malicious disinformation.
The real truth although talked about gets very little front page news.
But when people understand what's going on and who's behind all the
lies they are more inclined to feed some positive input into the process
and not get caught up in the political infighting, supercilious bloggers,
and unhappy radio talk show host.
