On the recordMay 2, 1994
a recent poll in the Los Angeles Times asked respondents if they would support an employer mandate to fund universal health coverage for all Americans even if that might cost jobs. Not surprisingly, only one in six backed the idea. Yet President Clinton continues to press for this method of payment for his health plan. One of the most distressing symptoms of the already unhealthy Clinton health care plan--and the one that is giving most Americans a queasy stomach--is the requirement for employers to pay 80 percent of an employee's health bill. Hardest hit will be the small business men and women of America--the folks who employ most Americans. According to the National Federation of Independent Business--the malady known as employer mandates would be terminal to many of their members. They should know. They have a membership of 600,000 American small business owners and job generators.
