If Watergate never went down, would we even be discussing health care?

Nixon was well on his way to implementing health care reform before all hell broke loose. Seems it would have covered more people as well.
"The Nixon plan was structured largely around the private market. It included an employer mandate for coverage, shifted a portion of Medicaid to a private insurance system, and set up pools of insurance to provide low-cost coverage to some 30 million Americans. It also grew to include greater government involvement in providing insurance to the uninsured"

Well Nixon was a Rockefeller puppet and gave us the horroble legacy of the EPA.

He was set up with Watergate, convinced that Cuba was channeling funds to the democrat party, which was probably true.

Nixon's biggest problem was that he was stupid as a box of rocks and was the biggest suck up to big money of the twentieth century with the possible exceptions of Carter and Clinton.
