“the spin-doctors at the White House have worked ceaselessly to promote the President's health plan. But inspite of the rhetoric--the reality of the Clinton bill is now being exposed. Under the President's plan you could not pay your own doctor or attempt to pay more for the best care--as all fees are ultimately determined and paid by Government-run health alliances--pages 236 and 134. And because the Government can automatically reduce fees to providers or reduce benefits, it can essentially ration care in order to meet its arbitrary budget limits--pages 90, 91 and 94. The bill speaks for itself. Under the Clinton plan the Government makes most of your health decisions. The plan will restrict choice, reduce quality, and threaten rationing. Do not be fooled by the rhetoric--read the reality--it is in the bill.”
