On the recordMay 16, 1996
I have always congratulated President Clinton on his leadership in addressing America's health care problems. I am one Republican who has been critical of my party's inability to exercise the proper leadership here. President Clinton did a courageous thing in taking this issue on. I had congratulated him at the time. I congratulated him all the way through, even while disagreeing with him on the details of his plan. I have congratulated him for his courage in being willing to face the fact that our health care system in this country is broken and badly needs fixing. I just do not think his solution fixed it. In my opinion, his solution made it worse.
