On the recordFebruary 9, 1994
The national media has now crowned the Cooper health care plan as the real moderate alternative to the President's health reform plan. Indeed, Mr. Cooper, in order to signify the similarities of his plan to the Clinton plan, has begun to call it Clinton-lite. Unfortunately, Clinton-lite is still too high in Government regulations, employer-mandates, and higher taxes. It may be a third less bureaucracy than the regular Clinton plan, but it is still too dangerous for the American consumer. The best way to avoid the Government-run monstrosity called the Clinton plan is to embrace the Michel plan. The Michel plan cuts cost, increases access, provides choice, and promotes responsibility, all without the bureaucratic fat of either the Clinton or the Cooper plans. Cut the fat. Support the Michel plan.
