The right wing noise machine had certainly been fixated on the notion that the health care plan was rammed down people's throats. To the contrary, the plan slowly plodded through the legislative process for nearly a year. Moreover, the bill had so many fingerprints on it by the time it finally became law that that it is silly to suggest that Obama imposed his will on the people. Finally, he campaigned on health care reform, including universal coverage. The People were well aware of that goal when they went to the voting booth. It is beyond me how anyone can claim that Obama engaged in some sort of totalitarian oppression by enacting a central plank of his platform.
