The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) requires every panel that includes non-government employees to have open meetings.

In January 1993, the ''[[Washington Times]]'' reported the problems with Hillary Clinton's closed door [[Healthcare Task Force]] meeting and the former Watergate crusader ignoring a post-Watergate reform. Rep. Bill Clinger (R-Pa.) demanded that the closed meetings stop. In February the [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]] (AAPS) sued. In March, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled the task force violated the FACA. The ''Washington Times'' revealed that many task-force members Clinton claimed as federal employees were not. When a list of 511 names was released, the Times noted the list "did not meet the [GAO] request for dates of employment, salaries and detailed backgrounds." <ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1571/is_8_18/ai_83699629 ''Enron vs. Hillary care: media double standard is at work''], Brent L.

Hillary played a central role in secretly crafting the Health Care plan, unveiled in late 1993. Democrats were divided, and conservatives counterattacked. The plan failed without a vote in Congress because Democrats could ot unite. The long-term impact was an embarrassment to Hillary, especially in her 2008 presidential campaign.
