On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
Well, I guess to try to think the way the administration's idea of concept of simplification is that when you go as a consumer to your alliance, you will only have one place to shop your health care. That will in the alliance. The alliance will only offer you three plans: A fee-for-service plan, the standard plan, and a health maintenance type organization plan. And those are your three choices. So, yes, it is more simplified for the individual consumer in terms of purchasing, but in exchange for that simplification you have given up thousands of options that are out there on the free market today. Again, you will be mandated to buy your health care through the Government-sponsored alliance.
