| dc.description.abstract | I analyze four frames deployed by members of United States Congress on the floor of the House of
Representatives before the initial passage of the Affordable Care Act on November 7, 2009. Of the
four frames—need, rights, deservingness, and entitlement—need was by far the most commonly
used frame in the debate followed by rights, deservingness, and entitlement. I conclude that while
Congress may broadly agree that Americans need and even deserve health care, it provided no
right or entitlement to care under the Affordable Care Act. | en_US |
