“I think he made a big mistake coming out on health care. He never got the country to agree who’s going to pay for somebody else. We did that with social security, the young will pay for the old. We did it with medicare, the young will pay for the olds health insurance. There’s no sense on the part of the American people right now, nor has it been sold to them, that one group should pay for somebody else’s health care. And because that hasn’t happened, every time you hear the word ’subsidy,’ or ‘mandate,’ we go crazy. And that’s why this thing hasn’t sold.” – Chris Matthews.
