Description

Early in her tenure as first lady, Clinton plans to “stick to health care reform”

ALS as first lady, signed “Hillary,” one page, 6.25 x 9.5, White House letterhead, March 8, 1993. Letter to New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, in full: “I am looking forward to our visit this week, although I fear it will be too short to cover all the matters I’d like to discuss. I will, however, stick to health care reform, if you promise further conversations about defining deviancy, welfare reform, ethnic conflict and the other subjects of mutual concern! I am enclosing a short article I thought you might find of interest.” In fine condition. Prior to the 1992 presidential election, Bill Clinton campaigned hard on the issue of health care reform. Once in office, Clinton appointed Hillary as chair of the Task Force on National Health Care Reform, assigning her to create a comprehensive strategy to provide universal health care for all Americans. On September 22, 1993, the president delivered the landmark health care speech before Congress. The plan, however, was met with widespread criticism from both sides of the aisle, with Moynihan, a loyal Democrat and supporter of universal care, deeming it unrealistic. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
