After seven months of secret deliberations, President Clinton has settled on a bold plan to guarantee health insurance for all Americans while vastly expanding Federal power to control private spending on medical care. Lobbyists and lawmakers feasted on fresh details of the proposal today as they pried loose a bootleg copy of the closely guarded document on which Mr. Clinton has staked his Presidency. The document, which had been available for inspection only by key staff members on Capitol Hill, is an authoritative compilation of ideas embraced by the President and Hillary Rodham Clinton, who supervised development of the plan and has been selling it in Congress.
