Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 3, 1994
when it comes to their health care reform plan, the Clinton White House is saying to the American people, ``Try it. You'll like it.'' But after looking at the particulars of this proposal, the people are gagging on the Clinton plan. Eight out of ten fear, rightfully, that the quality of their health care will go down with the Clinton bill. Most business groups oppose the President's employer mandate, which will drive thousands of small businesses out of business and millions of Americans out of their jobs. And the public has rebelled against getting its health care spoon-fed by the Government. Mr. Speaker, the American people don't have to try the Clinton plan to know they won't like it. They just have to look at the specifics. And as they do, their prognosis is: The Clinton bill is dead.
