Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 January 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Emergency Care.


Emergency Care

Let us wait and see. The problem with the Clinton proposals—it is questionable whether they were Bill's or Hillary's—is that they did not emerge until the September after the January inauguration, which was probably too late because the 100 days had passed. Secondly, they sought to overhaul the whole health system, whereas Obama is trying to examine the issues that present problems rather than those that do not.
