On the recordFebruary 10, 1994
as the Nation prepares for the 1994 Winter Olympics, here are some thoughts on the upcoming health care debate. The President, in his rhetoric, has slalomed around the truth when he says his plan will be simple, will save money, and will preserve choice. Actually, his plan will promote a blizzard of new bureaucracies, new taxes, and new regulations. And worse, it will cause the quality of our health care to go downhill faster than an out-of-control Alpine skier. The President may think he hit the triple axle with his spin control operation, but the judges will deduct points for not coming clean with the American people. Nancy Kerrigan may have received first-class medical attention under our current system, but who can say if she would receive the same kind of treatment under the Clinton plan? The President's plan takes a slapshot at the health care of all Americans. For that, I think he should spend some time in the penalty box.
