The book delves into the pivotal role of health care reform during the 1992 presidential campaign, focusing on Bill Clinton's 1993 proposal for managed competition. Jacob Hacker explores how this framework emerged, tracing its development from policy experts to political endorsement and its eventual incorporation into the proposal. Key questions addressed include the rise of health reform as a national issue in the 1990s, Clinton's choice of managed competition over other options, and the implications for the proposal's success.
