SocraticGadfly: Obama health care like supply side economics?

Obama health care like supply side economics?

Well, Froma Harrop trots out the “back-of-a-napkin scribbling” line to descrbe what Obama isn’t offering.
Obama's health-care plan looks like a back-of-the-napkin scribbling by someone who didn't care all that much but needed something. How curious that out of the smoke and drama of the Democratic race, there emerged a "candidate of change" whose health-care proposal is not universal, much less bold.

Her idea? Instead of purchasing mandates for private insurace, just enroll everybody in Medicare.
