Above is his letter. There was concern at the time the results would put rural area’s in a bind by putting small health care facilities out of business. I see his letter as a a request to not screw over the rural people. I don’t see it as praising the plan.
The Clintons were in charge with Democratic House and Senate at the time. In April 1993, many expected that this was going to be put in place and tried to minimize the damage.
Sure, many liberals and RINOs.
When we had the fight against the Bush-McCain-Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform what that reminded me most of was the fight against Hillarycare.
It was one of those issues that divided the RINOs from the conservatives, and in both cases it looked like the Democrats and the RINOs had the upper hand for a while thanks to the efforts of the MSM.
Liberals were for it and RINOs were willing to accomodate themselves to it, and conservatives were fighting it.
Thank God there were more conservatives fighting against it than liberals/RINOs like Perry looking to accomodate himself to it.
