AnnotationAmericans' attitudes toward health care rest on a set of competing considerations about individual self-reliance, collective social responsibility, and dread of government involvement. The authors argue that targeted public appeals of reform opponents had the effect of activating Americans' reservations about reform, and consequently eroding the public's support.
