Henry Waxman: “The gentleman is absolutely incorrect about the circumstances for most Americans. All Americans under Clinton's proposal…”

On the recordMarch 16, 1994
The gentleman is absolutely incorrect about the circumstances for most Americans. All Americans under Clinton's proposal will have choices, and one choice they will have is to stay in the plan they now have if it meets the minimum benefit package, but people will have choices, because they will have an opportunity to go to a number of different plans, and those choices are evaporating quickly for the insured as they are forced into managed care, which is maybe not where they would like to have themselves and their families receive medical care; and people who do not have insurance, I can assure you, have no choice at all.
