CEO of SELF, by Herman Cain: on Health Care


1993: Clinton health plan would negatively impact jobs

An example of actions inspiring other people was when I appeared on a nationally televised town hall meeting and challenged then-President Clinton on the flaws in his proposed health care plan. Afterward, many people wrote or called me expressing their happiness that I had asked the president the "right question." Many people went on to comment that my example had INSPIRED them to write or call their own senators or congressional representatives because they shared my views that his health care plan would have a negative impact on jobs. The restaurant industry had become mobilized against the plan because of the disproportionately large number of entry-level and first time workers hired by our industry, and the relatively high employee turnover rate. I never expected that one event to inspire so many people to speak up and to speak out.
