Political Quotes

“now that the national media has crowned the Cooper health care plan as an alternative to the President's health reform plan, some have started calling it ``Clinton lite''. By calling it Clinton lite, they are pointing out the similarities between the plans. The Cooper plan is really a first cousin of Clinton and takes us down the path of Government controlled health care. It might take longer to get there with Clinton lite but the final result is the same--lots of Government regulations, mandates, and higher taxes. It may be a third less bureaucracy than the regular Clinton plan, but it still threatens the health and well-being of American consumers. The best way to avoid the Government-run monstrosity called the Clinton plan is to embrace a real alternative not a slimmed down version of Government interference. The real alternative is the Michel plan to cut costs, increase access, provide choice, and promote responsibility, all without the bureaucratic fat of either the Clinton or the Cooper plans. Mr. Cooper should look for a relationship with the Michel plan in order to obtain real health care reform.”
