Washington debates on health care costs and tax reform surge as clashing lawmakers seek firm coverage targets and tax limits. Tra Magaziner faces praise and criticism for pushing the Senate health bill intact while a St Exupery anniversary and meat industry press handling add to the week’s political chatter.
Summary of multiple health reform proposals detailing universal coverage basics, employer and employee premium contributions, subsidies for small businesses, and tax changes. Key points include purchase through alliances or federal plans, employer payroll taxes from 1 to 2 percent, cigarette tax hikes, and expanded mental health and long term care benefits.
Nine months after Clinton urged universal health care lawmakers push a plan closely modeled on his proposal. Moynihan proposes government monitoring of premium increases while actions at Congress face strong GOP opposition and Democratic reluctance to adopt mandates. Standby triggers and individual mandates emerge as key options in a partisan fight shaping what reform may pass this election year.
Senate Republican Leader Bob Dole said he would block health care reform if employers must pay for workers' insurance and proposed a 1994 referendum to let voters decide the Clinton plan. He predicted the demise of two Democratic plans pending in the Senate and urged bipartisan work in the Finance Committee.
President Clinton voiced confidence that universal coverage is closer than ever, citing Senate committee action and Moynihan’s unveiling. He urged that only guaranteed insurance for all Americans will be the real reform, warning against Band-Aid fixes and quick measures.
A glossary explains alliances, cost sharing, mandates and plans like HMOs and managed competition. It defines premiums, deductibles, caps, and universal coverage concepts while noting how reforms aim to pool risk, control costs, and expand access across states.
