it is no wonder the Clinton administration is trying to sell their health care reform plan as the only game in town. The President's plan is an unworkable, unaffordable, and incomprehensible bureaucratic nightmare. The more you know it, the more you loathe it. So its pretty obvious why the administration does not want you to know anything else and why they will not give you an option to leave it once you are in it. The debate is complex but the question America needs to ask itself is simple. How will the President's plan affect my family? When you hear that the Clinton plan will reduce the quality of care your family receives; When you hear that the Clinton plan will lengthen the time it takes your family to receive that care; When you hear that the Clinton plan will complicate receiving that care; And when you hear that the Clinton plan will raise the cost of that care, you will understand why the President wants to be the only dog in the show instead of just being the one with the most fleas.
