President Bill Clinton, veteran of political battles galore, went to Capitol Hill Tuesday to share his hard-earned wisdom with the members of the Senate's Democratic caucus who will soon pick up where Clinton left off in his epic battle to pass health care reform. Now that the House has passed its bill, the Senate is poised to take up the issue for the first time since Clinton's health reform plans went down in flames in 1993.
The lunch menu was down-home fare, fit for a true Arkansan -- chicken pot pie, meat loaf, a fish which our spy could not identify, broccoli, green beans and rolls. The message from the ex-president was equally straight forward -- get something done on health care reform.
"The worst thing we can do is nothing," Clinton told a scrum of reporters following his lunch. "That was my argument on the economics and on health care."
Clinton said any bill will have flaws, but they can be corrected through amendments and subsequent legislation.
"So its not important to be perfect here," he said. "It's important to act, to move, to start the ball rolling, to claim the evident advantages that all these plans agree with. And whatever they can get the votes for, I'm going to support."
