President Clinton's new health plan will spawn 105 new bureaucracies, expand 40 more existing bureaucracies, crush the American people with scores of new tax burdens, and promote more than 100 new regulations to muddle an already fuzzy health care system. If that is what the President has in store for the sick people of America, I hate to see what he has up his sleeve for the healthy people. While we may all have disagreements with our insurance carriers, I would rather work mine out with the local insurance agent or through my employer than through a Federal bureaucrat in Washington, DC. The answer, if you ask most people, would be undebatable, ``Yes, I want the current system.'' Let us do what is best for our families. Let us approve the Michel health care plan.
