The Clinton Administration has been decisively involved in health issues since its earliest days. However, most steps forwarded have been blocked or met with several steps back. Far too often in the past six years, it has been the administration's side that has been pulled into the mud puddle in the health care tug-of-war which has resulted in substantially less health care reform than President Clinton and his supporters had promised while campaigning.

Johnson & the Great Society
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the book 'Lyndon B. Johnson and the American Dream' by Doris Kearns Goodwin and how it illustrates Johnson's ideal of a great society, as was defined in one of his greatest speeches. Johnson was a man who held many regrets, as Goodwin so eloquently illustrated, and to a large degree his dream may well have been a failure. This may have well had something to do with the fact that the American people never saw him as much more than Kennedy's replacement and Johnson could never fill the shoes of the revered president.
