This book analyzes the rhetorical strategies employed by the four
Democratic presidents, Truman, Johnson, Clinton and Obama, who
tried to expand access to and affordability of healthcare in the
United States. It considers how they made such arguments, the
ethics they advanced, and the vision of America they espoused. The
author combines rhetoric analysis, policy analysis, and policy
history to illuminate the dynamic nature of the way American
presidents have imagined the moral and social bonds of the American
people and their exhortations for governance and policy to reflect
and honor these bonds and obligations. Schimmel illustrates how
Democratic presidents invoke positive liberty and communitarian
values in direct challenge to opposing conservative ideologies of
limited government and prioritization of negative liberty and their
increasing prominence in the post-Reagan era. He also draws
attention to the ethical and policy compromises entailed by the
usage of specific rhetorical strategies and their resulting
discursive effects.
