4.0 out of 5 stars
A fine, scholarly work on an important event,
This review is from: Boomerang: Health Care Reform and the Turn against Government (Paperback)
This book promises to explain to the reader why the Clinton health care plan failed. The author does this rather well, pointing out how flaws in Clinton's "selling" of the program along with the disunity of sympathetic interest groups could not match the unity and purpose of Republican opponents. It is important to remember that Ms. Skocpol is a scholar, which can be good and bad. Her work is scholarly so it is well-proven (like a scholar) but also very narrow in scope (also, sadly, like a scholar). If you want an analysis of what went on behind closed doors in the 1993-94 fight or want a real discussion on the merits of health care reform, go elsewhere. But if you want an analysis solely on "why Clinton failed," this book does a very good job.

This review is from: Boomerang: Health Care Reform and the Turn against Government (Paperback)
Theda Skocpol's "Boomerang" is nearly as interesting and sharp as her opinions. It's another winner.
