    Abstract

    My presentation for today’s Geary lecture uses a recent episode in US politics - President Bill Clinton’s 1993 Health Security proposal for comprehensive health insurance reform, and the subsequent conservative political backlash against it - as a window into the history of attempts to create universal health insurance in the United States. This episode also reveals much about the present and probable future of social-welfare politics in the United States.
