There, two can play the quote game.

She pledged to build a "consensus" with health care providers, businesses, regular people and the insurance industry - all groups she alienated in her closed-door plotting 14 years ago - to finish the job in her first presidential term.

1. Hillary learned for 94: "those who are satisfied with their health care can keep it."

One student, who stated her family worked in the health care industry, expressed concern that Clinton's universal health care plan would put her family out of business.

"One of the things that she learned in '93 and '94 is that a lot of people are happy with their health care," Chelsea Clinton said.

She said that under her mother's proposed plan, those who are satisfied with their health care can keep it.

Those who aren't happy with their health care, or those who can't afford it, could buy into the plan.

Premium payments would be capped at less than 3 percent of disposable income, Clinton said.

"Everyone would be covered and that's important because the larger the pools are, the less expensive it would be for each of us individually," she said.
