Some gay rights advocates cri9cized Clinton for not going far enough and accused him of making his campaign promise simply to get votes and contribu9ons. advocates felt Clinton should have integrated the military by execu9ve order, no9ng that President Truman ended segrega9on of the armed forces
11 NAFTA (1993) Free trade zone between Mexico, Canada, and US strongly supported free trade measures. Opposi9on came from both an9- trade Republicans, protec9onist Democrats Fearful of losing jobs to low- wage Mexican workers
12 Health care reform plan Known as the Health Security Act goal was to come up with a comprehensive plan to provide universal health care for all Americans core element of the proposed plan was an enforced mandate for employers to provide health insurance coverage to all of their employees Hillary Clinton was draned by the Clinton Administra9on to head a new Task Force and sell the plan to the American people- considerably diminished her own popularity 1 st legisla9ve defeat for Clinton Admin.
