During [[Bill Clinton]]'s presidency, Hilliary initially played an important role. Immediately after his [[inauguration]] in 1993, she embarked on a [[radical]] program to create a national health care system.  She headed a Health Care Task Force which submitted controversial and [[extremism|extreme]] proposals to revamp this health care, which constitutes about one sixth of the U.S. economy.  She was sued by the [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]] for violations of the [[Federal Advisory Committee Act]], and the trial judge ruled against her and the Clinton Administration.  An appellate court reversed this ruling but remanded it for further proceedings, which ultimately resulted in disclosures to comply with the law.

During [[Bill Clinton]]'s presidency, Hilliary initially played an important role. Immediately after his [[inauguration]] in 1993, she led a task force to create a national health care system.  The secrecy of the Task Force was at issue in court cases which resulted in disclosures to comply with the law.

Her friend [[Vincent Foster]] supervised the defense of the litigation, but died under mysterious circumstances at the height of the controversy; the death was officially ruled a suicide. The extreme proposals were overwhelmingly rejected by [[United States Congress|Congress]]. Subsequently, the Republicans won a landslide victory in 1994, taking over both Houses of Congress.

Her friend [[Vincent Foster]] supervised the defense of the litigation, but died under mysterious circumstances at the height of the controversy; the death was officially ruled a suicide. The Task Force proposals lacked public support and support from the Democrats in Congress, and came to nothing but an ambarassment for the Clinton presidency.  

The remainder of her tenure as First Lady was largely devoted to combating what she perceived as conspiracies.  The Clinton [[White House]], wracked by multiple scandals, abruptly fired longtime members of the White House Travel Office, leading [[Congress]] to vote for a restoration of their benefits.  At one point confidential tax records of Republican opponents were discovered in the White House, and no legitimate explanation was ever provided.

Subsequently, the Republicans won a landslide victory in 1994, taking over both Houses of Congress.
