Health Plan for the enemies Press “the concern of the public wells
Hillary Rodham Clinton near the town two months ago by campaigning on behalf of health reform, but “Libby” and “Louise”, maintaining the airwaves, courtesy of the last campaign advertising boxes Sick Association of America.
Are you interested in health reform, but concerned about the Clinton plan, two attractive actresses of their fears on several occasions with the viewers of Georgia.
Given that interest groups in the fight for health care recognize, it is not difficult to find - or inflame - hesitations and doubts about the issue these days. Four months after President Clinton outlined his vision of “health to ensure always there” and how he prepares to try to rally the nation with his State of the Union message on Tuesday evening, the debate has been confused and disquieting in the scope of programs and mandates and major structural changes.
Atlanta, the capital of a region, which often disturbs the balance of power on Capitol Hill, is a microcosm of the difficulties faced today Clinton.
Like many legislators, representatives of John Lewis, a liberal Democrat, Atlanta, spent a large part of the Congressional place of meetings with representatives of hospitals, health, various groups of suppliers and a wide swath of public opinion. And he said he was back in Washington, convinced that “the vast majority of people want us to do something.” But Mr. Lewis, is a co-sponsor of the house of two presidents of the bill and Canadian-style, single-payer, adding that this is another sub-current: “People are worried. They do not want to lose what they have. ”
The concern is that, in the heart of many warnings, one vis-à-vis the public and their elected representatives, these days in hospitals and doctors, insurance and pharmaceutical industry and ” a variety of other interests.
The Health Insurance Association of America, a trade group of 270 companies represented by the coverage of 55 million people, is a commercial financing in Georgia and 13 other countries where “Libby” concerns about “this government, health alliances “As an intermediary between consumers and health plans. Your friend “Louise” which tells his alliance would restrict the choice of health insurance for people (an assertion that the administration of refuse).
Dr. W. Roy Vandiver, president of the Medical Association of Georgia, which is aggressive, presents his views on a review of health care, worries that the Clinton plan necessarily mean that the patient would restrict the choice of doctors (one another affirmation of the administration refuses). A brochure from the State Medical Association lists of “things that could violate our patients’ once-payer and the system” of each plan, Georgians would restrict freedom of choice of doctor, rather than treatment or the nature of insurance. ”
The weight policy contrary to all these charges and these fears, of course, is the promise of universal health care. Mr. Clinton’s strategists are counting on the promise, sexy and desirable, that far, it sweeps everything in its path.
But Mr. Lewis was in 1960 the peak of the struggle for the right to vote and the right to public accommodation, he was concerned by the fact that Clinton and his allies have always galvanize a majority of Americans around the concept of care health as a right. “It is much more convincing, it remains,” he said. “They have too long in the spring of awareness, mobilizing country, people buying, with the idea that in the context of a healthy nation, a productive workforce, we to have people healthy. ”
In addition, Fang universal coverage of its own policy, especially in this region. In the Clinton plan, it is reached, the employer contribution to the costs of their employees and employees insurance - the so-called employer mandate. This raises memories sub-conservative Southern Democrats like Senator Sam Nunn of Georgia. Rival proposals
“I am more doubtful,” Mr. Nunn said: “jobs so we try to put in place and, more importantly, because it is” squeeze out marginal workers. “Hotel official sassert that his plan would reduce the economic impact of ‘employer mandate with a system of subsidies to small businesses. But Mr. Nunn is a co-sponsor of a rival plan in the Senate, a more conservative plan competition manages advanced in the House of Representative Jim Cooper of Tennessee. Cooper plan, as the version of Bill Clinton, a mixture of regulation with market forces, but it would stop briefly promising universal coverage and would not require an employer mandate.
