What You Don't Know About Hillary's Health Plan Hurts by: Vince Ryan
The Spolight Volume XIX Number 27 July 5, 1993 - Page 12
Little-known facts about first lady Hillary Clinton's health care
reform program were discussed on the June 12 broadcast of SPOTLIGHT
Editor Vince Ryan's weekly talk forum, Editor's Roundtable.
Ryan's guest was a veteran author and researcher Eustace Mullins, who
has been studying the political origins of Bill and Hillary Clinton
and the untold story behind their vaunted "health care reform."
(Mullins' book on the medical Establishment, Murder by Injection, is
available for $20 from Liberty Library, 300 Independence Ave. SE,
Washington, D.C. 20003.)
An edited transcript of the interview with Mullins follows.
--- === ---
Ryan: What have you learned about the Clinton administration's
so-called health reform program for the American people?
Mullins: This program is a new type of Federal Reserve System. It was
conceived at a secret meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming with the
representatives of the "Big Five" insurance companies, including
Metropolitan, Prudential and Aetna. What they are planning is a
takeover of the entire health care insurance industry.
In fact, it was on the front page of the Wall Street Journal on May 18
that the headline read: "Hillary to insurers: Get out of the
business."
What Mrs. Clinton is Saying is she wants 165 small health care
insurance companies to get out of the business because, she claims,
only the Big Five will have the resources to handle the tremendous
liabilities and claims that will be coming in under the new system.
They plan to give health care coverage to 37 million Americans who
don't currently have insurance. This means they are creating 37
million customers out of nothing.
The Wall Street Journal, however, reported nothing about the secret
meeting at Jackson Hole where this program was planned. The New York
Times (on April 15, 1992) mentioned that the big insurance companies
had been meeting at Jackson Hole over the last several years. This was
reported some seven months before the 1992 election. The Times
headline read: "Managed Competition of Health Care."
What all of this means is they were planning to go ahead with this
plan regardless of whether George Bush or Bill Clinton was elected
president in November of 1992. In April of that year it was not
certain Bill Clinton would be nominated by the Democratic Party, let
alone elected.
Ryan: You compare the health care plan to the Federal Reserve, which
is a privately owned and controlled monopoly on America's money
system. Are you suggesting we are going to have a federally
administered, but privately controlled monopoly over health care that
will profit private industry?
Mullins: That's what's happening. In fact, it's the same cast of
characters. One of the directors of Prudential -- one of the Big Five
-- is Paul Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve board of
governors. As another example, on the board of Aetna you have Melvin
Laird, former secretary of defense. The directors of these big
insurance companies come right out of the Establishment.
Ryan: Who are some of the secret players behind the planning of all of
this?
Mullins: The media has sold the American people a bill of goods to the
effect that this is Hillary Clinton's health plan. She is simply a
figurehead.
The actual planners behind the whole thing are Dr. Paul Ellwood of
Jackson Hole, a retired professor from the University of Minnesota,
and Dr. Allen Enthoven, a professor of public management at Stanford
University.
Enthoven was one of Defense Secretary Robert MacNamara's famous "whiz
kids" at Ford Motor Co. (where MacNamara was ensconced before heading
the Defense Department). They came up with the Edsel car that nearly
bankrupted Ford. Enthoven went to the Defense Department with
MacNamara.
Under "managed competition" in health care, I think, Enthoven will
help do to the American treasury and taxpayers what MacNamara did to
the Ford Motor Co.
Ryan: The Rockefeller family owns a major resort at Jackson Hole,
Wyoming. Is there any connection to the fact that the secret meetings
on health care reform were held there?
Mullins: That's exactly right. The Jackson Hole Lodge is also there.
That's a Rockefeller-owned resort where world-class meetings have been
held with the Soviet government. For example, John D. Rockefeller
bought the whole Jackson Hole area in 1924, and he donated part of it
as the Grand Teton National Park.
Rockefeller kept the rest of it for himself and sold it for many
millions of dollars in profits. It is an unofficial headquarters of
the Rockefeller family. It also happens to be an old outlaw hangout
where the famous "Hole in the Wall Gang" used to meet back in the
1880s.
Ryan: What role will Congress play in all of this?
Mullins: They will be manipulated by the big interests to help set up
this monopoly. Congress will not know anything about this. It will be
delivered to them as an accomplished fact, as though it was something
worked out strictly by Hillary Clinton's health care commission.
This is like the National Monetary Commission which supposedly drafted
the Federal Reserve Act. Actually that commission had nothing to do
with the creation of the Fed. It was at a secret meeting at Jekyll
Island off the coast of Georgia that the plans for the Fed were drawn
up.
Hillary Clinton was a corporate attorney and is the ideal person to
set up this Federal Reserve-style plan for health care for the benefit
of the Big Five insurance companies.
Ryan: How do the insurance companies expect to benefit?
Mullins: The reason they are doing this is because right now health
care in the United States costs $960 billion a year. They predict by
the year 2000 it will be $2 trillion a year. If they get this monopoly
through, the Big Five insurance companies will be making $1 trillion a
year through this health care monopoly.
Hillary Clinton supposedly got the "best authorities" in the field to
advise her in developing her health care program. What she did was to
draw in 300 ordinary government workers to be a silent chorus.
Actually the whole thing is dominated by the big insurance companies.
Ryan: How will this health care program affect the American people and
their pocketbooks?
Mullins: Once the monopoly is set up, there will be higher prices and
less choice. It's the exact opposite of what they are claiming the
program will do. They are calling it "managed competition" but managed
competition does not guarantee freedom of choice. Instead, it sets up
a monopoly.
Ryan: Will there be any room for alternative health care and holistic
therapy under the Clinton program?
Mullins: They are absolutely planning to force alternative health care
out of the field. You can bet this big monopoly will ban any kind of
insurance payment for any kind of "unapproved" alternative health
therapy.
Ryan: Won't all of this drive up the national debt even further?
Mullins: If they extend health benefits to 37 million more Americans,
somebody is going to have to pay for it. The taxpayers will have to
assume that burden.
Ryan: How will the big drug companies, the major hospital corporations
and doctors fare under the new health plan, if enacted?
Mullins: They will all have a feeding freenzy. The drug trust,
represented by the National Association of Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers, with superlawyer Lloyd Cutler representing them, is 100
percent behind this program. They see their profits mushrooming under
a monopoly situation.
Ryan: Essentially, then, the health care program has been imposed upon
Hillary Clinton?
Mullins: That's right. This is a Rockefeller plan. Clinton is a
Rockefeller president. Basically, the whole state of Arkansas was
bought up by the Rockefellers years ago. I recall reading sometime ago
that there was a rising young politician from Arkansas named Bill
Clinton, and I knew he was being groomed for the presidency.
Clinton is a Rockefeller man, through and through, and as I point out
in my book, Murder by Injection, the Rockefeller interests are
represented in all of the major drug companies.
It was John D. Rockefe ller who, in 1907, affected a total turnaround
of the entire health care system in this country, changing it from an
emphasis on natural, homeopathic treatment to allopathy, the German
system of medical care that uses a lot of drugs, extended hospital
treatment and radical surgery.
Ryan: Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) was a leading advocate in
Congress of so-called health care reform during the Reagan-Bush era.
Now he has an ally in the White House.
Mullins: Jay Rockefeller is still the congressional point man. He is
calling the shots from behind the scenes on Capitol Hill. On June
4,1992 it was Rockefeller who said it was time to get behind one
candidate for the Democratic Party, and that was Bill Clinton. So
Clinton was as good as president. People need to know about the
Rockefeller role behind all of this health care reform in order to
fight it.
