The percentage of Americans w/o health insurance has been on a steady decline for at least 10 years and the cost to those covered by employer-based plans has been rising disproportionately at a higher rate than wages for the last 10 years. Ignoring that fact as it was for those 8 years between 2000- 2008 was not a solution. |

The steadily rising cost of health care is not a partisan issue....it is fact, without regard to the party in power. When Reagan took office in 1980, the per capita expenditures on health care were under $1,000....by the time Clinton took office in 1992, that cost rose to about $2.500...in 2000, it was about $4000 and now it is over $7,000. http://www.cms.hhs.gov/NationalHealt...ads/tables.pdf (see table 6) But if you want to make it a partisan issue, by blaming Clinton, I would suggest the partisanship comes about with the proposed solutions, if any....Reagan and GHW Bush did nothing to even attempt to address the problem. Clinton tried and failed, with the exception of SCHIP. GW Bush did nothing. Obama is taking it head on. Last edited by Redux; 09-19-2009 at 09:10 AM. |

The growth was relatively flat during the Clinton years. The per capita data shows much the same trends. Last edited by Redux; 09-19-2009 at 04:28 PM. |
