On the recordFebruary 3, 1994
do we really want the Clinton health care plan? Let me quote from the conclusions of an article that appears in this month's New Republic. This article is entitled ``Are You Really Ready for the Clinton Health Care Plan?'' The Clinton bill will prevent people from buying the medical care they need. Price control on premiums will push most Americans into HMOs and pressure HMOs into sharply cutting access to specialists and effective, high tech cures. Price controls on doctor's fees and regulations tying doctor's hands will curb the care physicians can give patients. Most important, government controls on medical education will limit what future doctors know, costing lives and suffering no one can calculate. Mr. Speaker, does this Clinton plan sound like the kind of health care reform the American people really want?
