Much better for the democrats than now.

Read this:

"The First Lady's approval ratings, which had generally been in the high-50s percent range during her first year, fell to 44 percent in April 1994 and 35 percent by September 1994.<136> Republicans made the Clinton health care plan a major campaign issue of the 1994 midterm elections,<137> which saw a net Republican gain of fifty-three seats in the House election and seven in the Senate election, winning control of both; many analysts and pollsters found the plan to be a major factor in the Democrats' defeat, especially among independent voters.<138> Opponents of universal health care would continue to use "Hillarycare" as a pejorative label for similar plans by others.<139>"

You see her plan single handedly, lost the democrats the house, and the senate. She didn’t just fail, she failed miserably, and she failed in a house, and senate controlled by democrats.

Edit: Typo
