Hillary's Healthcare Plan Like Nixon's
Even before Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton unveiled her new healthcare plan, Republicans attacked it as socialized medicine. They neglected to mention, however, that her plan bears a striking resemblance to changes that were proposed in 1974 -- by the late President Richard M. Nixon.
''It was an extremely extensive plan, as I remember, that would have given universal coverage'' for healthcare, recalled Rudolph Penner, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office and economic official in the Ford administration.
