Clinton Library Docs: When Hillary Promised She Wouldn’t Support A Health Plan That Increases Costs

In A 1993 Speech, Hillary Clinton Said There Was No Way “In Good Conscience” She Could Sell A Plan To Americans While “Increasing Their Costs” And “Not Providing The Kind Of Security That They Need.” CLINTON: “One of the objectives that the President directed us to pursue from the very beginning was how did we make this a financial benefit for the majority of Americans who are already insured?  There is no way we could good conscience go to the American public and present a plan that would either alter their expectations about what the system looks like while at the same time increasing their costs and perhaps not providing the kind of security that they need and they should be able to rely on.” (Hillary Clinton, Speech To Congressional Republican Leadership, 9/9/93)
