Health Care Summit: Quick Takes
By Eric Etheridge
President Obama held a White House summit on health care yesterday with, as the Times reported, “150 participants, including members of Congress, doctors and leaders of labor unions, business groups, hospitals, insurance companies and consumer organizations.”
At FiveThirtyEight, Sean Quinn said the stakes implicit in Obama’s opening remarks are high:
By so clearly delineating his intention to sign legislation in the next 10 months, the White House is ignoring the “cable chatter” and the vogue-of-the-week “overload” buzzword. It surely knows that a major benchmark tied to those approval ratings will be Obama’s effectiveness in shepherding the process forward. It’s doubtful that voters would penalize him for a slop factor of a couple extra months, particularly if there are unexpected signs of economic turnaround, but there isn’t much more room based on the clarity in this speech. …
Significantly, the reform must be ambitious for him to get credit. He’s referencing Teddy Roosevelt, 100 years of health buildup, and deriding “tinkering.” Voters will know the difference between a tinker and change you can believe in, and Obama seems to understand that. . . .
His chips, now pushed forward on the clean green felt, tell us he knows this hand is make-or-break.
At the Treatment, Jonathan Cohn liked the fact that Obama “pitched his remarks, clearly, to people who already have insurance“:
[T]hat’s the argument Obama and other reformers need to make. Pollsters will tell you, accurately, that the phrase “universal health care” does not play that well with the voters. That’s because, when it’s phrased that way, middle-class voters thinks that simply means paying more taxes so that people without insurance now can get it. What Obama is trying to do here is to suggest that everybody — the uninsured and insured — are vulnerable today, and that neither will be totally secure until we do something to guarantee coverage and make health care less expensive.
