For one thing, they didn't like it that Hillary was part of the decision making - as well, they didn't like the fact that the Republicons would lose the middle class..to the Democrats..thus the start of their mantra of untrustworthiness of Hillary because no one told them she was involved..they even took (the Clinton Admin.) to court because she wasn't a Government official..THEY LOST....

Bill Kristol gave the republicons their policy statements..memorandum..he is the biggest POS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_health_care_plan_of_1993

The long-term political effects of a successful... health care bill will be even worse—much worse.... It will revive the reputation of... Democrats as the generous protector of middle-class interests. And it will at the same time strike a punishing blow against Republican claims to defend the middle class by restraining government.

— William Kristol, "Defeating President Clinton's Healthcare Proposal", December 1993
