 "Shelton was a renowned leader of the Natural Hygiene movement, a health reform movement that became prominent in the 1800s. He was quick to query, "Why must we accept as 'normal' what we find in a race of sick and weakened beings?"

 "Candidate Bill Clinton talked frequently about his interest in a "managed competition" approach to health reform. In fact, observes James Fallows in the January 1995 issue of The Atlantic, demand for health reform was so strong that "through most of 1993 the Republicans believed that a health reform bill was inevitable, and they wanted to be on the winning side. [US Senator] Bob Dole said he was eager to work with the Administration and appeared at events side by side with Hillary Clinton to endorse universal coverage."- John Stauber and Sheldon Rampton, Toxic Sludge is Good For You: Lies, Damn Lies and the Public Relations Industry (Get the book.) |
 "Clinton, health reform, and Postwar Politics
I had a unique view of the Clinton health reform process.

 "When Rodham Clinton's health reform package finally hit Congress in October, 1993, it landed with a loud thud—all thirteen hundred pages of it. It was as indecipherable as it was weighty. Even specialized congressional staffers who had dedicated their careers to medical issues couldn't figure out much of it. Submitting any proposal in such a format to a hostile Congress was an astounding mistake, severely compounded by months of excluding from the planning process the very industry representatives that stood to gain or lose the most money from health reform."- Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.) |

 "As Alan Sager, codirec-tor of the health reform Program at Boston University, put it, "If you went to Las Vegas with $1000 and routinely came back with $1400, could your family accuse you of gambling?"20 What these companies are, in fact, claiming is an entitlement not only to recoup anything they wish to spend on R & D but to make an exorbitant profit margin as well.
The truth is that there is no particular reason to think that R&D costs, no matter what they are, have anything to do with drug pricing. The irrepressibly candid Mr."- Marcia Angell, M.D., The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It (Get the book.) |
| "The Clintons' attempt to forthrightly address the issue of health care reform failed under a barrage of misinformation and lies from various interests too vested even to identify themselves by name. The health reform task force was accused of being "secretive," even though the details of its plans were in the Times and Wall Street Journal every day. Current efforts at health reform are shielded from public scrutiny in a way that the "secret" task force meetings never were. Key policy decisions are now corporate secrets or are carefully veiled in the uninterpretable language of the bureaucrats." - John D.
