Why is health reform so difficult?
This article examines the possibilities for health care reform in the 111th Congress. It uses a simple model of policy making to analyze the failure of Congress to pass the Clinton health plan in 1993-1994. It concludes that the factors that created gridlock in the 103rd Congress are likely to have a similar impact in the present.
