Bill Clinton actually said...

"Reject the false promise of the Senate-passed bill and send me the bipartisan measure that delivers the real protections that patients deserve."

"The bill is clearly unacceptable."

"I urge Congress to act for the benefit of the citizens of the District and our Nation's Capital by sending me the agreed-upon legislation, unencumbered by objectionable legislation or provisions."

"There is strong bipartisan support for both of those things."
