Spy vs. Spy

I was researching data for another post and came across this fun fact:

President Nixon’s plan for national health insurance rejected by liberals & labor unions, but his “War on Cancer” centralizes research at the NIH.

Up is down and down is up.

Fascinating.

  1. Yes, the biggest mistake Ted Kennedy and the Democrats made was not working with Nixon on this. If they had, we’d have every one covered and probably be spending a lot less on health care than we are now. In hindsight, despite his flaws, Nixon was a decent President.

    • Yes, the biggest mistake Ted Kennedy and the Democrats made was not working with Nixon on this.

      What’s fascinating is that we now have a Democrat President with what was then a Democrat dominated Upper and Lower Chamber passing a bill into law. Republicans fought them.

      But 40 years ago it was a Republican President being opposed by the Democrats.

      Seems that politics are politics now and even then.
