Do you agree with the Democratic strategy to pass a healthcare bill THEN try to sell it to the public?
Question by c(^-v-*)o: Do you agree with the Democratic strategy to pass a healthcare bill THEN try to sell it to the public?
Wouldn’t people be WAY LESS skeptical of this bill if our alleged representatives could explain all the benefits BEFORE they vote on it?? (Or are these “benefits” simply too few and far between??)

ext on his checklist: “finish this health care bill successfully.” And after that? “Then we have to go out and sell it,” he said. “I think we can run on this. I think there is so much in here that has value to every American, and mostly to people who have insurance.”
In the conversation, Axelrod mentioned several other legislative initiatives that the White House hopes Congress will complete this year, including an energy bill. But asked what else Congress could pass before November that might significantly improve Democratic prospects, he cited only one other area: reform of financial regulation. “I wouldn’t put this on that order of magnitude [as health care] at all, but I think if we pass a financial reform that includes strong consumer provisions, reins in some of the worst excesses of the industry, I think that would be useful, would be helpful,” he said.
More important than new initiatives, he suggested, would be reframing the debate on what has already happened in Washington since Obama took office. On the one hand, he argued, the campaign will provide Democrats an opportunity to tout legislative successes, like bills strengthening federal regulation of tobacco and credit card companies, that have been almost completely eclipsed by the high-profile confrontations over the economy and health care.
On the other, he hinted, would be sharper efforts to compare the Democratic agenda with Republican priorities. While Republicans are hoping that voters will view the election as a referendum on Democratic performance, he said Democrats will work to frame the election more as a choice between the parties — and present an aggressive case against the GOP alternative.
