The details of the Clintoncare bill did not become fully public until September 1993 - the Task Force was a basically closed-door organization (which was sued several times over its lack of transparency) - and the Harry and Louise commercial did not start running until September 8, 1993.

Hillary's closed door approach as was apparent on April 6 1993 was NOT a "commendable" approach.

Don't be stupid. Do you really think that then-Commissioner Perry's letter would have been forwarded from the mailroom to anything other than the circular file if he'd been rude or offensive?

Are you going to poke a stick into the face of the 800-pound gorilla who's staring at you, or are you going to be polite?

Perry said the "effort" was commendable. He never endorsed the "approach".

In fact, once it came out, he strongly opposed it. Just like he strongly opposes ObamaCare today.
