Jefferson would have proposed State (as opposed to state, or is it the
other way round?) action, wouldn't he?
SPOTLIGHT: DEMOCRATS ON DEFENSE
Republicans have kept Democrats on the defensive about the federal
health reform law throughout campaigns for the 2010 midterm elections.
Democrats running for Congress, attorney general and governor have had
to defend their party's support of the overhaul against Republicans
aiming to paint them as advocates of government expansion or as blind
followers of Democratic leadership. According to observers, the struggle
of Democrats to control the health reform message while drafting
overhaul legislation carried over into the campaign, as Republicans have
capitalized on widespread concerns about certain provisions and pledged
to either repeal the law or cut off its funding. However, some
Republicans have admitted that if they assume control of Congress, they
have few ideas for health reform that differ from their proposals made
between 2000 to 2006. Some critics have said the GOP's lack of new ideas
during that time led to limited progress on overhauling the U.S. health
care system.
