Bush Gore advisers clash on health care reform
In Dallas aides to Vice President Gore and Gov. Bush debated Medicare reform and child coverage ahead of the fall campaign. Gore adviser Boxer urged more federal funding to insure more children and bolster Medicare, while Bush adviser Canfield objected to extra funding and proposed Bush’s own plan focusing on deregulation and patient rights. A largely uninterested audience from for profit hospitals watched as a broader exchange unfolded with Gephardt and Thomas weighing in by satellite.
