The Battle Over the Clinton Health Care Proposal (Sequel) Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

This case is a summary of the high-profile failure of the Clinton administration's initiative to restructure the U.S. health care and health insurance system to provide universal coverage, while at the same time, cost control.
