Health reform hopefuls linger as talks continue
Lawmakers debate health care changes with limited zeal, but plans remain to expand coverage under a main reform bill.

Health reform urged by North Carolina panel amid uninsured
The North Carolina Health Planning Commission states reform is needed as about 920000 residents lack insurance for medical bills. About 75 percent of uninsured live in working household heads. Roughly 900000 lack coverage to cover all illnesses due to pre existing exclusions, limited policies, or high deductibles. Health care spending reached 21 billion dollars in 1994, averaging 3000 per person. Family payments rose from 1533 in 1980 to 4722 in 1993, while family incomes grew 5.2 percent annually. Sixty two of 100 counties have too few primary care doctors.
