“I think the Republicans also understand that there is a lot about our health care system that is worth preserving. We acknowledge that there are things that need fixing. But we want to fix what is broken. We do not want to redo the whole system. Like your car is not quite running properly, and you take it in. The mechanic says, ``Well, I think it needs a tuneup here, we need a new part there, and perhaps we need a new set of tires.'' Someone else rushes out, and says, ``The way to fix that is to reinvent a whole new car. We are not going to fix what is broken. Let us just throw the whole thing out and we will reinvent a new car for you.'' Well, the Clintons reinvented a new car. That is kind of what the blueprint looks like. That staggers the imagination. Clearly, I think it dooms the plan to failure because it is a State-run, Government-run system that Senator Dole says we are somewhere down here and we are going to work through this maze in order to get our health care provided to us. We have a ways to go. We clearly do not have all the answers yet.”
