Actually, they were in power for about 6 years and offered a number of health care proposals....

Perhaps you may want to read this...a fairly unbiased look at how the Democrats treated his proposals (President Bush) (please read the footnotes when the article mentioned it being stopped in congress..gives you a good idea). It presents the good points and the bad points, but your statement is extremely flawed relative to, especially the last administrations, trying to enhance health care, make it more affordable and more available !

by the way this article dates to 2004 while our current President was campaiging for the senate...
