Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

To sell it, they will employ a smokescreen of "lower costs." But don't be fooled. In the long run, programs like AmeriCare will increase costs and exert more government control over your health care decisions.
