They placed a price control on petroleum companies because the oil crisis was getting out of hand. There was an embargo on countries that produced oil and on oil trading and prices were skyrocketing, going up from 3$ per barrel to a 12$ per barrel, and even more in many countries. Without the price regulations the prices could go even higher and the oil industry could collapse because people wouldn't buy oil.

What was the main goal of Clinton’s plan to reform the healthcare system?
andreev551 [17]

Correct answer:

<h2>Health insurance for every American</h2>

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."

Answer:

<em>R</em><em>I</em><em>O</em><em> </em><em>G</em><em>R</em><em>A</em><em>N</em><em>D</em><em>E</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

Explanation:

Texas claimed the Rio Grande as its southern border. Mexico said the Nueces River, to the north, should be the border. The dispute simmered until Dec. 29, 1845, when the U.S. annexed the Lone Star State, and sent troops to the Rio Grande a month later. Mexico attacked in April 1846, and when the Mexican-American War ended in February 1848, the border we see today began to take shape.
