6. Supported more than that
"He applauded the efforts of Senate Budget Committee chairman Pete Domenici, R-Nev., who presented his own balanced budget plan last week… Dean also said he could defend Domenici's approach to reducing Medicare costs. He said he supported more managed care for Medicare recipients and requiring some Medicare recipients to pay a greater share of the cost of their medical services…
'I fully subscribe to the notion that we should reduce the Medicare growth rate from 10 percent to 7 percent, or less if possible,' Dean said.'" Times Argus '95

So while he is proposing this 'great' health care plan now, back then he thought reducing coverage to senior citizens was a good idea. He's not somebody to trust on health care.
