I actually got this from a long list of Hillary quotes, but this one stood out a lot more as something that people should be aware of.
(This quote comes from a conversation relayed by Rep. Dennis Hastert of Illinois, then the chairman of the Republicans’ House task force on health care, at a 1993 meeting with Hillary Clinton, as reported in David Brock’s The Seduction of Hillary Rodham):

Full

Dennis Hastert … began meeting in February [1993] with Clinton administration officials as part of an effort to craft a bipartisan approach to [health care] reform.

One evening in June 1993, a group of Republican congressmen, including Hastert, met with Hillary at the Alexandria home of Republican Representative John Kaisch of Ohio.

One of Hastert’s ideas under discussion that night would have allowed employers the option of establishing medical savings accounts for their employees as an alternative to a government-managed system.

Under Hastert’s plan, employers would put the money they were willing to spend into tax-deferred accounts. Employees would be encouraged to buy high-deductible catastrophic care policies and pay for rudimentary services with the remainder of the money. At the end of the year, the unused funds could be rolled over tax-free into the next year and, like an IRA, be withdrawn at retirement.

Hastert and other advocates believed that as people shopped around for insurance and spent their own money to purchase care, costs would be controlled and competition enhanced.

But, critics said the accounts would benefit healthier people who would spend less than what employers contributed, and hurt the poor, who might pay higher premiums as healthier and wealthier people formed their own insurance purchasing pools.

Hastert soon concluded that there was little common ground on which to negotiate with the administration.

“I guess the straw on the camel’s back was a meeting that I had one evening with Mrs. Clinton,”

Hastert recalled:

I mentioned … to the first lady about medical savings accounts and just right away she said, “We can’t do that.”

And I said, “Well, why?”

And she said, “Well, there’s two reasons.”

And I said, “Well, what are they?”

[And she said] “The first reason is with the medical savings account, people have to act on their own and make their own decisions about health care. And they have to make sure that they get the inoculations and the preventative care that they need, and we just think that people will skip too much because in a medical savings account if you don’t spend it, you get to keep it or you can … accumulate it in a health care account.”

“We just think people will be too focused on saving money and they won’t get the care for their children and themselves that they need. We think the government, by saying, ‘You have to make this schedule. You have to have your kids in for inoculations here, you have to do a pre-screening here, you have to do this’ — the government will make better decisions than the people will make, and people will be healthier because of it.”

I said, “Well, part of that’s an education process. People have to understand that [if] they behave in a certain way, they’re going to save money, [with the] preventive medicine issue — you get the pre-screenings, if you can inoculate your kids you save money on it. I mean, they’re not sick. You save money.”

She said, “No. We just can’t trust the American people to make those types of choices … Government has to make those choices for people.”
