On the recordFebruary 6, 1996
I do have concerns that this bill will raise the cost of health insurance for citizens of my state, particularly for individual health care insurance policies. Additionally, I am skeptical that we can reform health care and lower costs in this country until we tackle medical malpractice reform, provide medical savings accounts for individuals, increase tax exemptions for the self employed, and provide other market oriented reforms that will increase competition and health care lower costs. This bill has none of these provisions. I look forward to working with the majority leader to address these concerns when the Senate considers S. 1028.
