We've seen this all before. Clinton started out popular. Then he took on the extraordinarily wealthy and powerful healthcare profiteers, in order to get Americans the basic right to healthcare that they wanted, and that citizens of every other wealthy nation have had for decades. The money came out of the woodwork to destroy him for daring to fight for the People, and that bought some extremely effective propaganda. It nearly destroyed his presidency, and it handed Congressional power to the Republicans. But, in the long run, he regained popularity, won reelection resoundingly, and at the time he was leaving office had the highest approval ratings ever recorded for a departing president. Unfortunately, we never got the health reform he'd gone through that hell for. I hope this time things are different.
