there is the other BRAC 1995 round that will be coming up soon, and as I understand it, the intention of that will be eventually every base and post in the United States will fill that, in some way, 50 percent of them directly. So what the…

The Public Record
The passage of the Clinton health care plan in any form would be disastrous. It would guarantee an unprecedented Federal intrusion into the American economy. Its success would signal a rebirth of centralized welfare state policy at the…
We have a lot of good public schools in our area, too, but I think it is important that anytime something is perceived as a threat to education that we all work for it, and one of the things that I am hearing from public and private and…
proponents of the President's health care plan have been bombarding the leery American public with a PR campaign entitled ``Tell that to the Joe Blow constituent stories,'' and it is always a scenario which is a good scenario about the…
Yes. The way the insurance premium caps would be is, I guess there is an assumption in there on the part of the administration that insurance companies are overcharging, price gauging. And now the administration is making the insurance…
with the debate going on about health care, there are so many different alternatives and there is so much rhetoric going on that I have tried to focus comments on questions that are asked me on a regular basis, when I am in the district…
But there are examples of exactly what the gentleman is talking about and exactly what the nonpartisan CBO is talking about when they say this is going to add $74 billion to the deficit. And that was the example that in 1965 when Medicare…
Let me ask an open question. Were either of you on the health care task force? Who was? Who wrote this plan, because we have been unable to obtain a list of who was on the task force?
I have one story that I thought was a good example of some of the thoughts that the American public has and some of the apprehension. Under this system, and this came out in one of my health care town meetings, but I was telling the story…
I can promise the Members that probably about 80 percent of them are having to go to a professional accountant to have their tax returns done, and yet in 1984, as the gentleman said, that was called tax simplification. Here we are with a…
What we really need in health care is it to be affordable regardless of your income bracket. And what the Michel plan does, and the reason I have cosponsored it is because it does give small, unincorporated businesses the full 100 percent…

Well, I think that the best way to answer that is to describe the duties of the National Health Care Board. The National Health Care Board would be appointed by the President. Basically, they would run health care in the United States…
I believe there absolutely is. I think the first step on that, though, is to analyze the 37 million uninsured, and then realize upon that analysis that 70 percent of the 37 million will get their health care replaced within a year. That is…
It does not make any sense. Let us take the scenario in Canada in 1986 when their doctors went on strike. Think what would happen if our specialists went on strike today, and all of a sudden you cannot get some certain procedure or…
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…
I want to say another thing about this National Health Care Board. Along with running health care in the United States, in the process of doing that, they have usurped the States' power, because the McCarran-Ferguson Act says that States…
I think the idea, what we are saying, that one premium will fit all. So if you are 21 years old and you wake up in the morning and eat bean sprouts and jog marathons all day, your premium is going to be the same as somebody who is 55 years…
Well, the estimated cost, of course, you know how things are in Washington, if you ask on Monday, you get a Monday price, and Tuesday you get a Tuesday price. We have the price stability of a commodities trader. Some $400 billion is what…
this is what I call Clinton health care question No. 357: ``Will I have the same patient/doctor relationship under the Clinton health care plan that I have right now?'' No; absolutely not. Why not? Well, your physician will no longer be…
