Jeb Bush and the Obamacare fight
Byron York notes that during 2009 and early 2010 Jeb Bush largely stayed silent on the Obamacare battle. He did serve on Tenet Healthcare’s board, later voiced opposition, and spoke publicly after the bill passed, calling it a major overreach and a huge new entitlement. He later intensified criticism during 2013 2014 and in Iowa.
