Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday that her unsuccessful health care reform effort in 1993 makes her more effective on the issue now as she seeks the presidency
This week, rival John Edwards offered his plan for universal health care that calls for a tax increase to ensure health care coverage for all and a requirement that businesses provide insurance. The tax increase would pay for the plan's cost of up to $120 billion a year.
"The president can propose, but the Congress has to dispose, and if we don't have a consensus in the country that our present system is no longer adequate to provide quality affordable coverage to every American and increase the competitiveness of our economy and reduce the burden on individuals, then we can't get any plan sent forward," she said.

It taught me the lesson that Hillary can't be entrusted to run anything.
Walking Eagle could not be taught anything except how to tell bigger lies by that POS she is married to.
This must be a Freudian slip. Their entire existence is based upon erecting negative illusions about non-problems. The economy rolls son, but they say it is bad. Deamonize oil and oil companies so they can grab up more power while appearing to "save" the planet. Make people think the best health care system in the world is actually inferior to the way our second world allies do it so they can consolidate some more power in DC. It really bugs me that so many are fooled by these charlatans.
Looks like Hildebeast will need to fine tune her attempts at world domination.
Her "lesson" is try not enact Socialism by "Royal Decree" next time. Then:
"I want to take those profits from the oil companies"
Oops, there goes that power mad, lunatic, empress dictator voice in my head again, need to restrain it, restrain it, restrain it.
Let's just look at what those possible lessons were:
1. The need to have tighter control on those in the closed door meetings to prevent details from leaking out
2. A bigger blitz by fellow travelers in the media to gin up public support and drown out critics
3. Speaking of critics, the need for a bigger park and space for more people for those who dissent--use Gettysburg instead of Fort Marcy Park
4. Bigger funding for brownshirts at events to rough up critics and hecklers
5. Jail was too light a sentence for people who would seek private healthcare out of the system. Next time, summary execution is the penalty
It's the SOS redressed.
Gradually......
Well stated. BTTT!
The lesson was SUPPOSED to be that she needs to get out of Politics altogether.
Yeah, right. Probably the first thing she would do in office besides declaring the US to belong to her.
It taught me (again) that socialism doesn't work.
Nevermind, Hellery. Walmart will have its nationwide system of clinics open by election time next year and will be infinitely more effective in putting medical care in the reach of the uninsured than the feckless, wasteful government could ever be. The government is a bloated parasite that is working hard to kill its host, the US taxpayer. That is the height of stupidity, but emblematic of the short-sightedness of politicians who see their re-election as more important than the survival of the country.
When Hillary states "our present system is no longer adequate", she's not just talking about health care. She's talking about the US in general. She's the biggest socialist in the country with a taste for power.
I thought when you give someone a job to do and they fail miserably you don't use that as a good reason to promote them...

My question to her, or anyone, would be why? Why "take" something they have earned? How would any of us feel in any industry/career if the govt. came after us explicityly to take our profits? WTF is wrong with this picture?
