History / details:

After being elected to the presidency, President Bill Clinton appointed a task force to look into health care reform and develop a proposal for providing health care benefits for all Americans.  The First Lady, Hillary Clinton, played a significant role in the planning for the proposal as the chairperson of the task force.  Her role was a point of controversy among Pres. Clinton's political opponents.  Ultimately, the Clinton Administration was unsuccessful in getting any health care reform passed in Congress.

Health care reform of the sort that the Clintons had planned didn't come to pass in the United States until decades later under President Obama, when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010, which is usually referred to simply as the Affordable Care Act or "Obamacare."
