You're very incorrect on that point. The Clinton went around demonizing people in their Health Care dog-and-pony show. Hillary blasted 25 year-olds for dropping health insurance. The same 25 year-olds for whom insurance rates doubled and tripled when the Democrats implemented community rating --- i.e., jack up all other rates while lowering elderly rates in spite of different risk rates due to artificial caps on spreads between insurance rates. Clinton was also blasting small businesses saying they could raise their prices to pay for their Nationalized Health Care. As we've seen in the last 10 years, businesses have had a difficult time passing on any price increases to the consumer. He's pretty much blasted everyone in the medical industry also ... HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, etc., while at the mean time shifting cost burdens from the Medicare/Medicaid onto everyone else to cover up for fraud and waste.
