Judicial Watch has posted them. Follow the link to read it all, but here is a sample for you that was posted at Michelle’s:
• A June 18, 1993 internal Memorandum entitled, “A Critique of Our Plan,” authored by someone with the initials “P.S.,” makes the startling admission that critics of Hillary’s health care reform plan were correct: “I can think of parallels in wartime, but I have trouble coming up with a precedent in our peacetime history for such broad and centralized control over a sector of the economy…Is the public really ready for this?… none of us knows whether we can make it work well or at all…”
• A “Confidential” May 26, 1993 Memorandum from Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) to Hillary Clinton entitled, “Health Care Reform Communications,” which criticizes the Task Force as a “secret cabal of Washington policy ‘wonks’” that has engaged in “choking off information” from the public regarding health care reform. The memorandum suggests that Hillary Clinton “use classic opposition research” to attack those who were excluded by the Clinton Administration from Task Force deliberations and to “expose lifestyles, tactics and motives of lobbyists” in order to deflect criticism. Senator Rockefeller also suggested news organizations “are anxious and willing to receive guidance [from the Clinton Administration] on how to time and shape their [news] coverage.”
• A February 5, 1993 Draft Memorandum from Alexis Herman and Mike Lux detailing the Office of Public Liaison’s plan for the health care reform campaign. The memorandum notes the development of an “interest group data base” detailing whether or not organizations “support(ed) us in the election.” The database would also track personal information about interest group leaders, such as their home phone numbers, addresses, “biographies, analysis of credibility in the media, and known relationships with Congresspeople.”
Ed Morrissey has an extensive round-up that can be found here and here, but I wanted you to see this portion:
The Bush administration has taken plenty of heat over their alleged politicization of the White House, especially in the roles Karl Rove has played in the past two terms. The release of the memos from the 1993 Health Care Task Force might put that in some perspective. The HCTF anticipated a tough debate over its proposal to nationalize American health care, and it proposed some specific remedies — including using the DNC to conduct intelligence operations.
A February 1993 memo to Hillary Clinton from Alexis Herman and Mike Lux proposes that the HCTF — a White House policy group –enlist the DNC for several purposes, discussed on page 5

Maybe Hillary will be hung out to dry once and for all with this disclosure. Remember, the Clintons always dumped bad news on the media on Friday so that by Monday they’d have forgotten all about it. Now, with the blogs and internet, the media won’t have that luxury of “weekend amnesia”.

If:
a. the government can’t manage the VA health care system as the Dems claim,
b.Medicare/medicaid are screwing doctors at every turn as the AMA says
c. Canada with a population slightly smaller than Los Angeles county is 26,000 doctors short of meeting international standards because of the poor wages under the single payer plan,
exactly how are the Dems going to make universal health care work properly HERE? If the government is not able to manage decent care for a few million vets, and is cutting medicare/medicaid payments to doctors so much that many are thinking of refusing to accept it, what makes ANYONE think that doctors are going to stay in medicine, or people will want to go into it in the first place? Oh Wait I know, the universal insurance will only be for people who don’t have private insurance right? And the evil businesses are going to pay for it anyway right? WRONG! The businesses will be faced with paying for insurance for people who work for them and those who don’t. In order to remain in business, they will simply eliminate health care insurance as an employee benefit. If they are going to be forced to pay for insurance at gun point (IRS agents carry guns), they will simply stop paying for the private coverage for their employees. That will flood the system with even more uninsured people. Eventually, it will become impossible ot find a doctor as they will simply be overloaded with patients and receiving lousy pay too. That will cause many of them to get out of medicine. Resulting in the remaining doctors having to service an increasingly large number of patients.

I saw some idiot on tv babbling about how he’s voting for HilLiary because he wants free healthcare because he is a diabetic.
So this person is a true single-issue voter. Never mind all of the other critical issues of national importance. So he thinks he’ll get “free” healthcare and that’s good enough for his decision.
There’s a voter who epitomizes what is wrong with this system.
