when we think about walking through the Jurassic Park as portrayed in the book and the movie, we know we need a catastrophic health care plan. Indeed, there is a catastrophic health care plan. If there were a legislative sequel to it, it would be the President's plan that promises to be just like Jurassic Park in terms of viciousness and scariness. It creates 105 new bureaucracies and expands 40 more. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it adds $70 billion more to the deficit. Another trillion dollars will be expended by the year 2000. There are those that paid the admission fee for the movie Jurassic Park and found it worth the money, at least in technique, but many Americans will find that the legislative sequel will be a high budget, low quality production. When the dinosaur ideas of the Clinton monster plan cut into the hard-earned savings of the American family, the American people will wish that they had never entered that theater.
