From Keith Hennessey:

Here are ten pieces of conventional wisdom about health care reform that I think are wrong.
CW #1. The Obama team learned and avoided the mistakes of HillaryCare.
The Obama team avoided the mistake of jamming Congress with a massive and detailed plan without consultation, and they effectively neutralized interest groups that helped kill the Health Security Act. But, like the Clinton Administration, they tried to restructure one-sixth of the economy in one big bite. This is again proving to be more than the American people are willing to swallow.
Congressional Democrats were far more effective in expanding government’s role in health care in the fifteen years after HillaryCare failed, by repeatedly enacting incremental expansions of government to the most sympathetic population slice left uncovered by a government program.
