The Clinton plan and Mrs. Clinton's testimony guaranteed a lower rate of increase in budget than any Western country has ever gotten, a lower rate than Canada, a lower rate than Germany. And the only way, the only way you can get to that lower rate is, in fact, to ration health care. And my fear is, and I have been told, by the way, by many medical hospitals, research hospitals, that now that they have read the Clinton plan, they are terrified of the Clinton plan because it will destroy medical research and lead to rationing of all sophisticated care.
