When the soft-spoken Boren opposes something, people listen. Senators James Exon and Bob Kerrey, both Democrats from Nebraska, said they backed the "basic thrust" of his plan. Still, a number of putative dissidents -- notably John Breaux of Louisiana and Kent Conrad of North Dakota -- declined to sign on to the amendment. Thus while Boren may be able to muster enough Democratic votes to join with Republicans in forcing Clinton to change his plan, there is little chance that the Boren-Danforth proposal can pass.

...contributed generously to the campaigns of political candidates. He gave $1,500 to the campaign of Sen. Harris L. Wofford (D. Penn.), and $500 to Sen. Arlen Specter (R.

Bob Kerrey first injected it into the 1992 campaign, Bill Clinton and Paul Tsongas soon jumped on the bandwagon. Support for universal health care, in one form or another, differentiated the Arkansasan from President Bush, who supported tax incentives to expand coverage but wouldn't guarantee everyone a health plan. Polls show that health care stuck out more than any other issue in the minds of Clinton voters...
