In discussing the [David] Frum firing, Bruce Bartlett asserts that AEI [American Enterprise Institute] has muzzled its health-care experts, because the truth is that they agree with a lot of what Obama is proposing. I find this quite believable; back in 2003 Stuart Butler of the Heritage Foundation, which is supposedly harder-right than AEI, proposed a health care reform consisting of … drumroll … an individual mandate coupled with subsidies to make insurance affordable. In short, Obamacare.
See David Frum, AEI, Heritage And Health Care by Paul Krugman, March 25, 2010 and Laying the Groundwork for Universal Health Care Coveragexht by Stuart Butler, March 10, 2003.
