[FOLLOWING IS THE PERIODIC BRIEFING SENT BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO ITS OFFICIALS AND OTHER SUPPORTERS OF ITS HEALTH-CARE REFORM PLAN. THIS PERIODIC DOCUMENT GIVES A GLIMPSE OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S EFFORTS TO PROMOTE ITS HEALTH PLAN. IF YOU DO NOT CARE TO READ IT, NOTE THAT IT WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE SUBJECT: Health Care Reform Today , SO YOU CAN EASILY SKIP READING IT. -- Steve Freedkin, list administrator] The White House Health Care Reform Today October 20, 1993 * A week before detailed legislation is sent to Capitol Hill, the Republican National Committee has decided to run misleading and inaccurate television ads attacking the President's health reform plan. Why? Here's their explanation...straight from RNC Chair Haley Barbour: "...some in the media and the public have confused the fact Republicans favor health care reform with the idea we agree with Clinton's plan or find it acceptable." It is clear that for at least some Republicans, politics are now replacing bipartisan cooperation. * The Haley Barbour Republicans and the special interests they protect are running scared. They know that within the week the President will introduce a thorough and complete proposal to bring all Americans health security and comprehensive benefits that can never be taken away. The President's plan will include detailed numbers explaining exactly how the program is paid for and exactly where the money comes from. It lists the comprehensive benefits that are covered and spells out the exact protections this plan brings to individual families. * And the President's plan is the only proposal that keeps everything that's right about the current system in place-- private sector health care, employer-based coverage, choice of doctors and plans, and high quality American medicine. And it fixes what's wrong without any new broad-based taxes. * Yet the RNC is trying to convince the American people that health security and comprehensive benefits are not in their best interests. The only group that has spent more money on TV ads against health reform is the insurance lobby. Ask yourself, are these people really out to protect your interests? * As for support, a study released Tuesday in Atlanta shows that a majority of Georgians favor universal health care that centers on prevention, controls costs and offers no free rides. Georgia Health Decisions said that after two years and interviews with more than 6,000 residents it is clear that any reform package include coverage for everyone.
