Clinton appointed his wife to be the chair of the Rural Health Advisory Committee the same year, where she secured federal funds to expand medical facilities in Arkansas's poorest areas without affecting doctors' fees.
Nese mesmo ano, Clinton nomeouna presidenta da Comisión Consultiva da Saúde Rural, onde obtivo con éxito fondos federais para amplialos servizos médicos nas zonas de Arcansas máis pobres, sen afectar aos salarios dos médicos.
