Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The National Association of Welfare Research and Statistics invites you to participate in the
Association's 34th Annual Workshop to be held at the Doubletree Hotel in Austin, Texas, July
31, 1994 through August 3, 1994. The 1994 Workshop theme is Researching, Reforming,
Reshaping: A Track to the Future. The Association also invites you to speak at a special ,
Plenary Session on August 2,1994 on issues related to the integration and provision of services
to children living in poverty, those who are abused and/or neglected, and troubled or at-risk
youth provided by communities, private organizations, and federal, state, county, and city #
governmental entities.
Our organization, which has existed since 1956, is comprised of state, federal, and local
governmental staff and academic personnel involved in research, statistics, and budgeting in the
fields of Health and Human Services. Participants at last year's conference i n Scottsdale,
Arizona represented 33 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. All 50 states, the District
of Columbia and Canada are represented in the Association's membership. We are looking
forward to increasing the participation of the states as well as federal participation both from
the national and regional offices. Most of the Texas state agencies under the Health and
Human Services Commission have agreed to participate both in the planning and at the
conference.
I have attached A Brief History of the National Association of Welfare Research and Statistics.
1956 - 1983, 1984 - 1993. Tb ; history gives the background and the backbones of our
Association, the states and the people who have worked hard to keep its idea alive. Also, you
will notice that one of our Board of Directors is from your home state of Arkansas.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
We would be very pleased if you would accept our invitation to be the keynote speaker
at the The Woodlawn Organization TWO 1994 Thirty Fifth Annual Conference on July
29 and 30, 1994 at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.
We feel the conference will provide an excellent opportunity for you to reaffirm the
principles of the Clinton Presidency directly to the people on health care reform and
Administration initiatives affecting families.
The theme of the conference is "The African American Family: Safety and Support" with
workshops and roundtable discussions on The African American Family, The Church and
The Community, Health Care from Prenatal Care to Geriatrics and Education Reform.
Ours is a conference of one of the oldest and most prominent community based
organizations in the nation attended by 1500 local delegates. The history of TWO was
recently chronicled in "Building Hope: Community Development in America" funded by
the Ford Foundation which aired nationally on Public Television on April 12, 1994.
We praise the courage and conviction with which you and President Clinton are
addressing the needs of families and pray that your schedule may allow us to participate
with you in a common purpose.
One of our staff. Bill Murphy, a contemporary of yours at Maine South sends his warm
regards.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I t gives rne great pleasure to extend an i n v i t a t i o n to you once again, to
our F i f t h Annual Senior Entertainment Extravaganza (SEE) being held on July
29, at West Virginia University-Parkersbur^ i n the A c t i v i t i e s Center rrom
i l i u u a.m. to 3:flu p.m. I would be honored i f you would choose to sax_a_few
words of welcome to our guests for the day.
As you may recall from our past events, this is an ever growing event
that caters to senior residents residing i n nursing homes i n our Mid-Ohio
Valley. The growth from 66 participants i n the f i r s t year to 200 this past
year shows not only the need for such an event, but the importance and
enjoyment received by each one in attendance.
This year we anticipate between 250 to 300 residents to attend. The day
begins with several area entertainers performing and greetings from special
guests, such as yourself. Also our guests are served lunch from main course
to desserts provided by area businesses who realize the necessity of our
efforts and the enjoyment i t brings. The afternoon i s concluded with guests
participating in dancing and last year even some of the guests provided skits
for the others to enjoy.
As the word has spread about this event over the last four years and
become so anxiously awaited by the guests, I am beginning to realize my dream
that was envisioned in my mind's eye only f i v e short years ago. This program
has such potential and can grow even bigger and better with your help and
participation.
Again, let me invite you to join us for this very special day. Please
let me know in advance so I can place your name i n our program.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
On behalf of the National Association of County Health Officials (NACHO), I am pleased to invite
you to speak at the Sixth NACHO Annual Conference. This year's conference will be held in
Tucson, Arizona, July 28-30. We would be honored if you would participate in a session scheduled
for Friday, July 29,10:30 a.m. -12:00 noon, entitled, "Local Health Departments and Health Care
Reform.''
NACHO represents the nation's 3,000 local health departments. As you know, local health
departments are charged with protecting the public's health, and many of their activities are federally
mandated or are supported by federal funds. NACHO is very supportive of President Clinton's
interests in reforming the health care system, and we are especially pleased that core public health
functions have been addressed in the Health Security Act. This conference session presents an
excellent opportunity to address local health officials' concerns regarding an enhanced public health
structure for the nation.
NACHO is in the process of developing a blueprint for local health departments in the 21st Century,
which will be unveiled at our annual meeting. The plan proposes essential functions that must be
provided by local governmental agencies in order to protect the health of all communities, in
addition to the capacities required to achieve this. We invite you to participate on a panel of
reactors, following a description of the plan and how it would impact local public health in urban,
rural and suburban areas. The NACHO membership would be especially interested in hearing your
views on how health care reform may affect the plan. We are also inviting Dr. David Satcher,
Congressman Waxman and Dr. Steven Schroeder to participate on the panel.
I hope you will be able to accept this invitation. Nancy Rawding, Executive Director, will be
contacting your office in the coming weeks to see if you will be able to attend. Thank you for your
consideration.

you to speak at the Sixth NACHO Annual Conference. This year's conference will be held in
Tucson, Arizona, July 28-30. We would be honored if you would participate in a session scheduled
for Friday, July 29, 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon, entitled, "Local Health Departments and Health Care
Reform."
NACHO represents the nation's 3,000 local health departments. As you know, local health
departments are charged with protecting the public's health, and many of their activities are federally
mandated or are supported by federal fiinds. NACHO is very supportive of President Clinton's
interests in reforming the health care system, and we are especially pleased that core public health
functions have been addressed in the Health Security Act. This conference session presents an
excellent opportunity to address local health officials' concerns regarding an enhanced public health
structure for the nation.
NACHO is in the process of developing a blueprint for local health departments in the 21st Century,
which will be unveiled at our annual meeting. The plan proposes essential functions that must be
provided by local governmental agencies in order to protect the health of all communities, in r
addition to the capacities required to achieve this. We invite you to participate on a panel of ^
reactors, following a description of the plan and how it would impact local public health in urban,
rural and suburban areas. The NACHO membership would be especially interested in hearing your
views on how health care reform may affect the plan. We are also inviting Dr. David Satcher,
Congressman Waxman and Dr. Steven Schroeder to participate on the panel.
I hope you will be able to accept this invitation. Nancy Rawding, Executive Director, will be
contacting your office in the coming weeks to see if you will be able to attend. Thank you for your
\ (Q
consideration.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
It is my pleasure to invite you to be the keynote speaker at the 17th annual convention
of the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups (CWAG) to be held in Stevens Point, Wisconsin
on July 27-29, 1994. We would be pleased to accommodate your schedule on either July 28
or 29 with July 28 being preferable.
The intergenerational theme of our meeting is "Building Wisconsin for People of All
Ages" which is excerpted from our mission statement. At our convention we plan to focus
a great deal of attention on children's issues in Wisconsin. We believe that one of the greatest
intergenerational issues is universal health care, as the largest group of uninsured people are
children.
We hope that you will see this as an opportunity to draw greater attention to health
care, children's issues, the common bonds among the generations, and to visit Wisconsin in
the summer. You r-J the President are to be commended for developing the health Security
Act and, especially, for insisting on universal coverage. Incidentally, we are extremely elated
about the community-based long term care component.
While we are not officially connected with any national aging organization, such as
AARP or NCSC, we are the largest such coalition of member organizations in the country.
We also are a grassroots organization with most of our member group: coming from the
county or local level. Our board of directors is made up of older persons elected by the local
member groups, with officers elected by the entire membership of our annual meeting.
Over the past five years we have had large numbers of people participating in our
annual convention. With you as our keynote speaker I am sure that there would be at least
1,000 persons in attendance.

The American Federation of Home Health Agencies (AFHA) based in
S i l v e r Spring MD i s holding i t s annual meeting in Seattle WA, July
27, 28 and 29th and we are expecting owners and/or administrators
of Medicare c e r t i f i e d home health agencies from across the country.
Our usual attendance i s around 200 to 250 people. Because we as a
group, interact with so many senior c i t i z e n s nationally, i t would
seem l o g i c a l that we could represent a voice or somehow influence
opinions on some long term care issues. Therefore, we are seeking
a keynote speaker on health care matters and would l i k e to invite
I r a Magaziner to participate on one of the aforementioned dates.
AFHA's current President, Morrie Levy i s a colleague of mine, and
works in the same offices as I do here in Chicago. He could provide
d e t a i l s regarding attendance breakdowns, topical subject matter,
t r a v e l arrangements and the l i k e and would be the one for someone
in I r a Magaziners' office to coordinate with.
Can you Help? Certainly, with some nationally known figure (notice
I did not ask for B i l l or Hillary Clinton) we could expect an even
larger turnout and in turn influence some positive media attention.
Please l e t me or Morrie Levy know i f you can help us. Obviously I
also understand that there may be date c o n f l i c t s , thus, an a l t e r nate from the administrative team with equal stature might be
equally welcome.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Two hundred twenty future leaders from throughout the United States
have been selected to participate in the fifty-fourth annual Junior Statesmen
Summer School. From July 17 until August 7, these high school scholars will
engage in an intensive study of politics and government at Georgetown
University. The Summer School curriculum includes a rigorous academic
introduction to American Government and student-run debates on national public
policy issues. The highlight of the program is the opportunity to both meet and
question national leaders from the three branches of government. Each year
when 1 speak with the Summer School students, I am impressed by their
excitement and challenging questions.

I have spoken with Gary Cohen with the White House who indicated you might be
available to speak at a mini-plenary session on health care refonn at the American
Society for Public Administration's 55th National Training Conference. The
Conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency and Westin Crown Center Hotels in
Kansas City, Missouri from J uly 23-27, 1994. We expect 900 to 1000 people at the
conference. Those in attendance will be senior public administrators from all levels
of go vernment, nonprofit organizations, and academics.
The mini-plenary is scheduled for Tuesday, July 26 from 8:30 am-9:30 am in the
Century A Room of the Westin Hotel. Mini-plenaries typically cover the "big
picture" and the format is similar to a think session. There will be three or four
presenters and a moderator for the panel and the audience will be approximately 150200 people. The speakers will be seated in armchairs and each person will have a
lavaliere microphone. The speakers will be seated on risers for visibility. There may
be some questions from the audience, but typically they tend not to ask questions.

The session will look at health care refonnfroma range of perspectives and include
a discussion of the role of the; public administrator in health care reform. Catherine
M. Crawford, Ph.D., Special Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health
Policy, U.S. Department of Health and Human Service is currently scheduled to speak
on this mini-plenary, but as 1 told Gary, she is somewhat tentative about representing
the Administration's current position on health care reform and would prefer to give
a background discussion of health care reform in the U.S.. Given the level ofthe
other two participants, I believe we need a senior person to represent the
Administration. Because Dr. Crawford is very involved in ASPA's programs, I have
left it up to her about participating. However, 1 believe you could more effectively
represent the Administration and strengthen the overall session.
The other panelists include: Shirley Dodd, Director, Division of Policy Advocacy,
American Medical Association, Chicago, IL; Linda Jenckes, Senior Vice President,
Health Insurance Association of America, Washington, DC; and moderating Evelyn

to avoid duplicating informaiion. I look forward to hearing from you shortly.

SURROGATE "AUDIENCE" POSSIBILITIES

Hello Gary, this i s Stacy (George Stephanopoulos O f f i c e ) — - I met
you l a s t May concerning a speaker for Joe Geller in Miami, Well,.
I'm here i n Dade County helping out for the summer, getting my
" f i e l d e x p e r i e n c e " . b u t I ' l l be back to DC i n August.
As you are the king of Surrogate speakers and everything Health
Care, I have a question for you. Dr. Vincente Lago, the
President of the Dade County Medical Association, w i l l be
traveling to Washington i n either July or August to meet with
Congressman Bob Menendez (D-NJ) to discuss a proposal. His
proposal (detailed i n the attached l e t t e r ) involves the
relocation of exile Cuban and Haitian physicians to those areas
in the US that are desperately underserved.
What he would l i k e (and what I'm bouncing off you to see i f i t s
possible) i s a meeting with someone i n the administration (be i t
WHO). Dr. Lago has no expectations—he
HHS/ VA, DOD, INS or the
would just l i k e to share his idea with the Administration.

addition to a representative from The White House, the panelists will include the President or
Vice President of NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business owners) and a
representative of FHP, the 5th largest HMO in the country with 1.6 million participants.
The format ofthe seminar will consist of an opening speech by Tom Warren followed by an
introduction of the panelists. Each panelist will have :20 minutes to present their point-of-view
and will be followed by a Q & A session with the audience.
We hope to have all of the panelists meet :30 minutes before the seminar to get acquainted and to

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
From July 24 - 26. 1994. the International Union of Electronic, Electrical,
Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers (IDE) will be holding our biennial
Leadership Conference here in Washington, DC, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The
Conference, will be attended by over 800 of the lUE's most committed and active
leaders from across the nation. They will be bringing the message to Capitol Hill
as to the need for guaranteed health security for all Americans at a time that I
expect the congressional debate over health care will be at a critical point.
I would like to extend an invitation to you tQ a d d r e s s j h e IUE Leadership
Conference during our sessions. Your leadership, Mrs. Clinton, in the efforts to
win health security for all Americans is widely respected in our union. While our
leadership and rank and file are committed to working aggressively towards that
goal, your presence and counsel would rally the delegates to an even greater
commitment to true national health care reform.
It would be a great honor to the IUE if you are able to be the banquet
speaker on the evening of Monday, July 25th. The banquet^will begin at 6:30 pm.
We would be happy '.*» make whatever arrangements are needed to acr^ mmodate
your schedule. If you find it more convenient to address one of the plenary
sessions, we would welcome your remarks to the Conference attendees at that
time as well. Please feel free to have your staff contact my Executive Assistant
Joan Man as to any questions or details which need to be worked out.
Sincerely,
William H. By watt

VIA FAX
Dr.Heinze,
Thank your for your interest in participating as our keynote
speaker for Latino Issues Forum's health care reform breakfast
briefing for the San Francisco Bay Area Hispanic small business
community. Since 1990, Latino Issues Forum has been actively
working to educate the Latino community in California and the
Southwest on health care refonn. Much of our educational efforts
were targeted to the Latino consumer. In an effort to expand the
level of participation in the health care reform movement, Latino
Issues Forum began a major effort this year to educate and involve
the Latino small business community. Few organizations have
made contact with this growing segment of our community. The
only representation that small business has had at the national level
on health care reform has come from conservative associations that
do not represent Latino concerns.
Thus, Latino Issues Forum is in the process of organizing
several small breakfast briefing meetings for prominent Latinos in
the business community to educate them on health care reform and
the impact that the various health care plans will have on them and
their business. The underlining goal is to get more Latino small
businesses to support employer mandates and participate in the
health care reform movement. Much of the opposition to the
Clinton plan from small business stems from their lack of
understanding of the plan and its provisions. For this reason we
would like you to join us for our first meeting to help explain the
President's plan and its economic impact on small business.
You indicated that July 25^ 1994 would be a good date for
you to attend our briefing. If we can confirm your participation, we
will ensure that we generate some media coverage for the event

Phor,.; |4 1 51 552-31 5 2 • Foci.mile (41 S| 552-3 177
�We expect to bring together about 50 prominent and key opinion makers in the
Latino business community for your presentation. And since you will be in the
area, we would like to host another meeting in the afternoon with health care
community leaders and health care administrators who have been working to
generate grassroots supportforthe President's plan. I am sure these community
leaders would be interested in knowing what the debate is in beltway with
respect to the President's health care plan and what other steps can be done at
the local level to keep the issue alive in Congress.
Latino Issues Forum appreciates your commitment to health care reform
and we look forward to having you as our keynote presenter. Should you need
to speak with individuals who know of our organization and our capabilities
please feel free to contact Senators Boxer and Feinstein or U.S. Representative
Nancy Pelosi. Please let us know as soon as possible if you will join us on
Monday, July 25,1994, in San Francisco.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Bob:
Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to talk with me late
Monday. I have enclosed a copy of my resume which we have previously
supplied David Watkins.
The AICPA Health Care Conference is scheduled for July 25 and 26 in
Las Vegas. As we discussed, this promises to be an excellent forum for the
Administration to present their position on Health Care Reform. In each
of the past two years, approximately 600 participants have attended the
conference. Please let me know your thoughts. We will be mailing
brochures soon!
Once again, I appreciate the time you took from your busy schedule to
meet with me. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

A Biographical
Sketch
Current Position
Partner, Baird, Kurtz & Dobson (BKD), CPAs.
Career Summary
After completing a master's degree in accounting
in 1975, Bill entered the public accounting
profession, joining Baird, Kurtz & Dobson's
Springfield, Missouri, office. As a staff
accountant, Bill was introduced to the specialized
field of health care accounting, auditing and
reimbursement consulting, and he has specialized
in this industry ever since. I n 1982, he
transferred to the firm's Tulsa office, at the time a
newly acquired office with no health care practice
other than tax services for physicians.
He became a partner in 1984 and in 1987, at the
age of 34, was appointed partner in charge of the
Tulsa practice, the youngest partner to be
appointed to this administrative position i n the
firm's history. Bill also serves as the office's
director of management consulting services and
director of recruiting.
Since transferring to Tulsa, Bill has overseen a
tenfold increase in the size of the office and the
distinction of being the fastest growing BKD office.
From virtually no health care practice i n
Oklahoma, BKD is now positioned as the CPA
firm with the largest Medicare consulting practice
in the state.
In 1992, Bill was appointed to BKD's management
committee for a three-year term; he serves as the
committee's secretary. This committee, comprised
�of six of the firm's 116 partners, plus the
managing partner, is responsible for policy
development for BKD.
Experience
National Health
Care Experience
Bill has 18 years of experience in the health care
industry, providing a variety of reimbursement,
consulting, accounting and tax services for
hospitals, physicians, home health agencies,
skilled nursing facilities and other providers.
Hospital clients include large, urban facilities,
among them a 700-bed multihospital teaching
facility, and small, rural facilities. Reimbursement services focus on clients' Medicare, Medicaid
and other third-party reimbursement through cost
report preparation and review, strategic planning,
joint venture negotiations, representation before
regulatory authorities, cost studies, etc.
Bill's membership on the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Health Care
Committee has given him broad exposure to
health care issues on a national level. The
committee is comprised of 15 accountants from Big
Six and regional firms and health care entities
who are responsible for monitoring and providing
comments to Congress and federal agencies on
proposed federal legislation and regulations with
accounting and auditing implications for the
health care industry. Likewise, the committee is
charged with monitoring and commenting to other
Institute committees on technical matters affecting
health care entities as well as developing
accounting and auditing guidelines and
pronouncements on current issues facing the
health care industry.
Bill also is on the AICPA Health Care Committee
task force for implementing revisions to the Audit
Guide for Health Care Providers and is on
another task force that writes the annual Audit
Risk Alert publication.
Yet another AICPA affiliation is Bill's membership
for the past two years on the steering committee
that plans the annual AICPA Health Care
�Conference, which has drawn more than 600
people each year. The 1994 conference theme is
"The Market's Response to Health Care Reform."
Other Professional
Affiliations
In addition to Bill's membership in the AICPA, he
is a member of the Oklahoma chapter of the
Healthcare Financial Management Association and
a lecturer at their meetings. Other memberships
include the Oklahoma Society of Certified Public
Accountants, Home Health Care Association of
Oklahoma and MAP Committee of the Tulsa
Chapter of the Oklahoma Society of Certified
Public Accountants.
Education
B.S. degree in business administration, 1974, and

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Gary, many thanks for your assistance in securing Glenn Hutchins to be a
speaker at the VSDA annual convention and trade show in Las Vegas on
July 24. We are most pleased to have him with us as a spokesman for the
Administration.
It will probably be a week or two before all the logistics are worked out, but
you will be hearing from Ms. Cheryl Lawson, VSDA Director of Meetings and
Conventions, as soon as plans are finalized with regard to arrangements
and logistics. In the interim, we are making hotel arrangements for Mr.
Hutchins at the Las Vegas Hilton for the nights of July 24 and 25 which we
can adjust depending on his travel date preferences.
If Mr. Hutchins wishes to come to Las Vegas on July 24, we would be
pleased to invite him to our premiere Disney dinner and show that night at
the Hilton. It's really quite an event!
Per your request, VSDA will be pleased to cover air transportation (coach
class) and hotel costs for Mr. Hutchins. It will be necessary that
arrangements and ticketing are made through our travel agency and we can
work with you to establish suitable times for travel.

Gentlemen:
The Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) will hold its 49th National Convention In
Cincinnati at the Omni Netherland Plaza August 23-27, 1994. BVA would like to
extend to President Clinton an invitation to attend our convention and address our
participants.
We understand the magnitude of our offer and realize President Clinton's time is
extremely valuable; however, even though our organization fs small, we are proud
of the work being done for and by blinded veterans and would like to share our
goals and accomplishments with the President. If his schedule does not allow
bringing greetings to our participants in person, the BVA request greetings by way
of a proclamation or a letter and President Clinton's photograph be sent to our
national office to be included in our convention program.
There are 120,000 visually impaired veterans in the United States, of which half are
not aware of the special benefits and services In which they are entitled. It is BVA's
goal to find those 60,000 veterans to make sure they receive the services they have
earned.
The Executive Branch will be represented at our 49th National Convention by the
Honorable Jesse Brown and we look forward to his keynote address. We have
enclosed a brochure and a fact sheet describing the BVA, Its activities and history.
Should you desire additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our
National Office at (202) 371-8880. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ronald L. Miller, Ph.D.

Dear Ms. Toohey:
This letter is in response to the phone conversation we had earlier. I would like to extend
an invitation to Judith Feder to speak at the American Society for Public Administration's
55th National Training Conference. The Conference will be held in Kansas City, Missouri
from July 23-27. The panel on which Ms. Feder will participate focuses on the various
perspectives of Health Care Reform. We would like Ms. Feder to represent the
government perspective on this panel. The other panelists will represent the insurance
industry and alternatives to President Clinton's plan. There will also be a moderator who
will have a background in academia
The mini-plenary will be held on Monday, July 25, or Tuesday, July 26 in the morning. I f
Ms, Feder has a preference, please let us know. We would like to cover the "big picture"
and want the format to be similar to a think session. There will be three presenters on the
panel and the audience will be approximately 250 -300 people Those in attendance will be
public administrators from all levels of government, non-profit organizations, and
academics.
The Amerrcan Society for l^ublic Administration is dedicated to advancing excellence in
public service. We hope to have Ms. Feder discuss the importance of health care reform
and the role of the public administrator in this refonn. Enclosed is a copy of our
conference brochure. If there are any other questions, please contact me or Cheryl Uram
at my office.
Sincerely,

\28, 1994 in_Orlando,_Florida As_you are aware, tliis organization lias a vital interest in the
process of health care refonn. Our organization has offered commentary both within the initial
processes of delineating aspects of the proposed Health Security Act and subsequently in our
testimony before a variety of Congressional Committees.
Our membership would greatly appreciate your participation with us during our Orlando
meeting. It is therefore, my distinct honor to extend to you an invitation for such participation.
In 1968, then President Lyndon B. Johnson visited with us during our Annual Meeting in
Houston, Texas. That interaction is still viewed as a significant highlight by our members. We
would hope that our current generation of health care providers will also be able to have such
a valued interaction.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to hearing from you
in the near future, and I wish you well in all endeavors.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
We would like to invite you to be our Dedication speaker for the new
Rhode Island Hospital / Women & Infants Hospital Cooperative Care
Center on Friday, July 22, 1994.
•
This new 74-bed inpatient hospital is a joint venture of both Rhode Island
Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital and is a radically different
approach to the provision of inpatient care. To be admitted, a patient must
be accompanied by a care partner, i.e., family member, friend, neighbor,
etc., who will stay with the patient during their stay and participate in both
the clinical and educational complement of the hospitalization. The facility
has all of the support of an academic medical center, however, it looks
more like a hotel setting. In addition to being what we think is the "ultimate
in patient-focused care", what makes this new facility unique is that it was
constructed at approximately 1/3 less than a traditional hospital and will be
operated at 1/3 less than traditional inpatient facilities.
The Cooperative Care Center is connected by bridge to the new Hasbro
Children's Hospital, which has now be open for three months and has
incorporated many of the elements of the Cooperative Care Center, to
include a "Parents as Partners" philosophy, which encourages parents to
not only stay with their child but literally be a participants in the care of
their child.
We would be extremely grateful to have your presence at the Dedication
of the Cooperative Care Center and feel that it embraces many of the
elements of health care reform that the system desperately needs and that
you are championing.

In 1988, the Interamerican College of Physicians & Surgeons (ICPS) founded the
National Hispanic Youth Initiative in Health, Biomedical Research and Policy
Development Scholars Program (NHYI) in response to the need to increase the
number of Hispanic health professionals, scientists, and policy makers. The thrust
of the NHYI is to prepare, motivate and encourage Hispanic youth to enter the
health sciences and public policy. Since its inception, over 600 high school
students have participated with 99% remaining in the academic pipeline.

I n s t i t u t e , we are extremely interested i n shedding some
l i g h t on the v i t a l issue of Health Care Reforni,j and we would ^

I t has always been our mission not only to serve the elderly

and inaccurate information c i r c u l a t i n g on how the

Conservative direct-mail organizations have apparently
jtargeted the elderly with scare t a c t i c s i n an e f f o r t to

We believe a community forum at Parker would provide a
valuable s e r v i c e to people i n our area. Many seniors are
confused and worried about what health reform w i l l bring,
and I believe such an event would give the President or Mrs.
Clinton the opportunity to explain t h e i r proposal to older
folks and their families.
We are well aware of the Clintons' busy schedule and would
do our best to receive them on any day that they might be
'available to speak. Of course, we would also welcome a

RE:
Speaker Request for 21 July 1994 Luncheon Meeting
Thank you fbr so promptly returning m telephone call earlier this morning regaxding a
y
speaker on the topic of marketing a national health care program.
As I mentioned, I am the co-chairman of the Programs Committee of the Central Ohio
Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. With more than 300 of our area's
leading communication professionals. PRSA is dedicated to providing the highest quality
informative and professional-development programs for its membership.
Our monthly meetings attract approximately 100 PRSA members and guests. We would
expect a meeting focusing on marketing a national health care program to be very well
attended by PRSA members, and other local health care and insurance industry leaders,
as well as representatives of the media.
Last Januaiy, I contacted Gov. Richard Celeste about addressing our chapter on the
topic of marketing a national health care campaign. Governor Celeste declined our
offer; and referred me to Greg Haas, the campaign's Ohio coordinator, who suggested
our July 16 monthly meeting as the most appropriate date. With the change in
marketing strategy, the Ohio committee has disbanded, and I was referred to John
Christopher Bun at the National Health Campaign. John Christopher has been
extremely hard to contact; however, last Thunday we were able to connect over the
phone, and suggested I contact Dr. Fred McCall-Perez to be our speaker.
PRSA can reimbursefortravel expenses; however, we cannot afford to bring in Dr.
McCall-Perez from Miami at a coat of $830forairfare alone.

�I realize that you are extremely busy with your May schedule, and July is somewhat of a
low priority. We, on the other hand, are extremely concerned about a securing a speaker
fbr our July 21 luncheon meeting. Ideally, this would be a one-day affair, with our
speakerflyinginto Columbus in the morning, and departing in the afternoon.
I lookforwardto hearing from you. Thanks againforyour prompt reply this moraing,
andforyour help in putting together a dynamite program on this very important issue.

The Drjve for Reform
Equipping You for Change
What Is Driving Healrh Care Rdbrm? It may not be wliat
'unk! i
.c licaltlli care industry, undergoing change for the last
40 years, has! become by some measures the largest sector of
the Americaifi economy. Wc arc now engaged in an intense
heaith care reform debate. Yet, much of die discussion is nor
based on dafo, objective appraisals or the needs of patients.
Worse yet, much of rliis discussion is not even based on how
businesses adtuaUy operate.
If you're dissatisfied with the accuracy of infomution
your company needs to compete and grow. Navigating the
Continuum of Care is for you. This executive Icadersliip
development program is a partnership between the Henry
W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration ind
major firms jjupplying die health care industry.
These finps arc concerned that information from Tcliablc" source? has often been insufficient to meet dieir
sD-atcgic neeils. Navigating the Continuum of Care is
designed to fddress these needs through improved criiicitl
thinking and) leadership capacity at the executive level.
Program sessions focus on experiential learning, which
combines interaction among faculty and students with
structured learning situations. You'll learn through
roundtable discussions with nationally recognized speakers,
demonstrations, games, group dynamic exercises, a field trip,
opportunities to interact with other participants inside and
outside the classroom, and wriucn exercises.
Most instruction will be provided by nationally recognized experts, including executives from government, the
private sector and academics. Those speakers are important
players in the health care industry, widiout being overexposed on the speakers circuit. Faculty from the Bloch School
will also attend sessions to assure continuity and consistency
in the learning experience. And class size is limited to 40 to
allow total involvement by all participants.
Between the three course sessions, you'll maintain contact
with faculty and otiier participam s through computer
conferencing and networking. In addition, you can stay in
touch with co-workers and family while in class by using the
University's Octel voice-mail sysicm.
This program is sponsored by the Henry W: Hkjch School of Business and Public Administration and
the Health Services Administration Program at jthe L.P. Cookingham Institute within die Bloch
School. The MBA Program'at the school is fujiy accredited by die AACSB, and the MPA Program, by
the NASPAA. The Bloch School provides education, research and training designed to meet the needs
of private industry, government, nonprofit anti ijiealth care organizations.
The,National Center for Managed Health iCare Administration was founded in 1987 to train
senior executives; to confront the complexities ofthe managed care industry. The center continues to
prepare highly motivated individuals from arotujid the world for top-level management positions in
prepaid medical deb very systems. The center has been developed under a grant from the Prime HeaJth
Foundation of Kansas City.

What do you know about healtii care?
He
: some questions on the subject with answers that nnghr surprise you.
Question 1
Answer 1
Which ofthe advanced industrialized
countries is most inejficimt in the provision
of healtii care?
If you answered the U.S., you are wrong. By „
some measures, Switzerland, the Netherlands,
Sweden, and, possibly, Belgium are iess efficient.
Question 2
Answer 2
If an expenditure on health care equal to price multiplied by the quantity ofthe service or commodity
consumed?
If you answered yes, you arc wrong. The simple
price-quantity relation of Economics 101 doesn't
hold in health care. Expenditures on healdi care, are
equal to price multiplied by the quantity consumed
multiplied by die "intensity'" with which the service
is provided. That is, similar healdi care senices can
be prodded using alternative higher or lower cost
providers and/or technologies, e.g. nurses aides
versus RNs versus BSN/RNs versus MSN nurse
clinicians versus plivsicians.

Dear Ms. Flo McAfee.
Our mutualfriend,James Dunn, and 1 have been talking and it appears that we have an
excellent opportunity for an administration spokesperson to present their compelling argument for
universal healthcare to & group of real thought leaders and shapcrs of public opinion.
Could you help us see to it that President Clinton's case for universal coverage is made at
this important gathering, The Sixth Internationa) Conference on Thinking, July 17 through 22,
1994 at MIT in Cambridge.
Hillary Clinton was invited. However, in correspondence just received from Patti Solis,
she has declined because her official schedule will not permit acceptance of the invitation. Is there
someone else who could represent the President, such as, Tipper Gore, Secretary Donna Shalala,
General Jocelyn Elders, Ira Magaziner, Harold Ickes, Senator Jay Rockefeller, Senator Ted
Kennedy?
The topic of health care is one of four major strands of the Conference. Keynoters and
Featured speakers are recognised leaders in thought as it applies to critical thinking and life shaping
decisions. Around the Conference theme, Improving the Quality of Thinking in a Oumging World,
healthcare leaders, Stephen Paulker, Howard Barrows, JocaJyn Uwler and Yoko Nakayama will
lead conference participants in such topics as, decision making by health care professionals and
patients, critical thinking in nursing, and problem-basedjearning in medical and business education.
While the Conference begins on ^ityJ7~and ends July 2 2 j f j » P o f these principal
spokespersons could come at any point during (He uunlferenui, we will make the necessary
accommodations to fit their schedule. Thank you for your consideration and active attempt to help
us all think deeply about this important issue which touches the lives of all Americans. I am
available to answer any questions and provide more information. You can contact me at phone
number and/or FAX listed below.

ACCESS
As the parent of a teenager with multiple disabilities, and the Director of the Alliance for
Tfechnology Access, I am writing to invite you to join a most extraordinary group of people in
Washington at the occasion of our Institute '94. Because of your great interest in and involvement
with families, along with the administration's deep understanding of the potential role of emerging
technologies for ail Americans, we think you mayfindour work both compelling and inspirational.
Tbchnology is changing daily what it means to have a disability, making it possible for people to
accomplish what they might never have previously even imagined. Our organization, the Alliance
for Tbchnology Access, represents families and professionals who have come together to redefine
human potential by making technology aregularpart of the lives of people with disabilities. W
e
strive to accomplish this goal by providing access in a community setting to conventional and
assistive technologies,relatedservices, and informationresourceswhich enable people to achieve
productivity, independence, social interdependence and success according to their own needs and
interests.
An outstanding example of our efforts is located, as you may know, in Little Rock. With the
motto, "giving people with disabilities the power to do more through technology," the Arkansas
Tbchnology Resource Center (TRQ provides information, support, and hands-on computer
experiences to families trying to figure out how technology can help their Idds. Just as Janet
Hargett (Board member) and Ginny Heiple (Director) galvanized the people andresourcesof Little
Rock to build the incredible organization that is TRC of Arkansas Easter Seal Society, others have
been building similar programs in 45 other cities across 34 states and the U.S. Vircin Islands for
the past six years. Like the center in Little P xk. Alliance centers were created by family members
committed to finding and providing the bestresourcesavailable for their children. Carol Rasco,
whom we are also contacting, has participated in the Little Rock program with her son, Hamp, for
many years, and can attest to the value or this program for so many.
Our centers work with approximately 100,000 people each year, introducing them to state-of-theart technology which allows them to go to school with non-disabled peers, enter the job market, or
perhaps even communicate with family members for the first time. We have learned, as you have,
how important access to these tools andrelatedservices and support are to a very large segment of
our population. In fact, one of the most memorable moments of President Clinton's Ibwn Hall
meeting with children this year focused on two sisters who represent the new generation of
individuals with disabilities that have high expectations for themselves and our society as a whole.
Anastasia Somoza's sister, like many children with disabilities, is using technology today to
express her unique talents and skills. We're focused onreachingthe tens of thousands of
youngsters and adults who have not yet discovered the transformational power of technology.

P•
The Alliance was bom out of a desire to demonstrate how technology can be used by everyone to
transform limitations into opportunities. For no other group are the benefits of technology so
obvious, so powerful, and so imperative. As a community whichrepresentssome 43 million
Americans with disabilities, we are proud to have leaderahip in Washington which recognizes the
vast and untapped potential of all Americans, including people with disabilities. In the spirit of a
new and ambitious agenda fer America which proclaims we don't have a person to waste, we see
the continued development and utilization of technology as the key to fuller and more productive
lives for our constituents.
lb further this shared goal, each year at our Institute we bring together families, individuals with
disabilities, professionals and technology gurus from across the nation and immerse ourselves in
the important issues of technology access, technology services and even technology design.
Institute '94 might very well provide an important platform oa which we can all work together to
reach a shared vision for America—one In which all people are empowered to attain their dreams
and no one is "wasted."
We would be honored to have you keynote our Institute next summer in Washington. It will take
place ftom. July 18-21.1994 at the Sheraton City Centre Hotel in Washington, DC, and will be
attended by some 250 people. More infomution will be sent to you via Janet Hargett of TRC.
Janet has been a volunteer in President Clinton's campaign, and is currently volunteering at the
President's Office in Little Rock.
Thank you for considering ourrequestIt would be a great honor to have your participation and
support.
Sincerely,
Jacquelyn Brand

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
I am writing this letter to invite you to Le the Keynote Speaker for the Alliance for
Technology Aooess (ATA) Institute '94 which will be held In Washington D.C. on July 18
through 21,1994. A letter from Jacquelyn Brand, Executive Director of the Alliance for
Technology Access, accompanies this letter.
The Arkansas Technology Resource Center at Arkansas Easter Seals, along with the
other 45 ATA centers that are located across the world, work with thousands of people
yearly.Through these people we are able to see how assistive technology can empower
many persons with disabilities by making them more independent and better able to
compete with their non-disabled peers In classrooms and work settings across the
globe.
Janet Hargett, a board member of the Arkansas Technology Resource Center and the
parent of a college student with cerebral palsy, Is assisting me In trying to get this letter
to you and another letter to Carol Rasco. Janet is a volunteer at President Clinton's
office here In Uttle Rock. Carol Rasco Is a friend and neighbor of mine, and is
responsible fbr getting me involved as a volunteer at Arkansas Easter Seal Society
when Hamp was a toddler. Because much of the good work of the Alliance for
Technology Access has been accomplished by parents of children with disabilities, the
ATA is most anxious to have both you and Carol speak at our '94 Institute this summer.
Janet Hargett and I both hope that you will be able to work this speaking engagement
into your calendar. Those of us who are involved In providing services to persons with
disabilities are very aware of President Clinton's commitment to arsons with disabilities
and their families. As an Arkansan, I also want you to know how proud we are of you
and President Clinton. I am always amazed when I travel to other states how many
people, when they find out that I'm from Arkansas, want to tell me how much they
respect President Clinton for tiylng to make Important changes In this country. I believe
that these people are so eager to talk to us about the President because they assume
that all Arkansans. like President Clinton, are friendly and value their opinions. You have
both done a lot to better the image of Arkansas, and we are ill benefiting from it.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Solis:
On Behalf of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A), I would like
to extend this invitation to the First Lady to speak at the N4A Annual Conference. The
Conference will be held July 17-20, 1994 in Kansas City. Missouri, at the Hyatt Regency
Crown Center. The Conference theme is "Charting A Course for the Aging Network," and
will incorporate a White House Conference on Aging "Mini-Conference" to solicit comments
and concerns from seniors regarding health and long term care.
We are inviting Hillary Rodham CUnton to address our General Session on Monday, July
18. from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. We would like her to speak on health care, particularly on
long term care for seniors and persons with disabilities. Aree Agencies on Aging are very
supportive of the President's proposals for expanded coverage of home and community-based
care, and have been actively involved in educating Members of Congress about the
tremendous need for services. Our attendees are most anxious to hear the First Lady's views
on the prognosis for health care refonn during this Congressional Session.
We anticipate that there will be 500-600 persons at the Conference. Attendees will
include senior and disabled advocates, direct service woricers, and program administrators
from Area Agencies on Aging in local communities throughout the Country. Area Agencies
on Aging serve as focal points for access to home and community-based services, induding
home-delivered and congregate meals, in-home services, transportation, legal services, and
health promotion. The Administration on Aging's most recent statistics show that during a
one-year period. Area Agencies on Aging served approximately 6.9 million seniors through
supportive services, including home and community-based long term care: 2-6 million seniors
received over 200 congregate meals; and 845.000 benefitted from home-delivered meals.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

�The Sixth International Conference on Thinking
Showcasing Best Practices to Improve the Quality of Tliinking
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - July 17-22, 1994
March 16, 1994
Ms. Patti Solis
Scheduling Director
Office of First Lady
White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Ms. Solis,
In October of 1993 we invited Hillary Rodham Clinton to deliver a Keynote address at
The Sixth International Conference on Thinking. Plans for the conference are well underway as
suggested by the enclosed brochure. Under the advisement of Dr. James M. Dunn of the Baptist
Joint Committee on Public Affairs, we are extending a reminder of our invitation to Mrs.
Clinton.
The topic of health care is a major focus of the conference. A Keynote address on the
role of thinking critically in health related issues would contribute significantly to the theme of
the conference: "Improving the Quality of Thinking in a Changing World." Furthermore, The
Sixth International Conference on Thinking would offer Mrs. Clinton another highly visible
platform for addressing the need to think skillfully about solving one of our nation's major
dilemmas, i.e., the health and well-being of every American.
\
We are aware that Mrs. Clinton may need to have other obligations in the Boston area
to even consider delivering a Keynote address for the conference during the week of July 17
through 22, 1994. We are ready to coordinate our schedule around hers. We are thinking about
a 30 to 60 minute time frame for the Keynote address. The estimated 1500 to 2000 participants
will be from the fields of education, health, business, and technology. On the enclosed brochure,
I have highlighted the points that may be of greatest interest to Mrs. Clinton in making her
decision. Please call me at 806-359-4231, if there are any questions.

Baptist Church of Amarillo, Texas. James and Marilyn Dunn have been our close friends for
over twenty years. Their words of affirmation and kindness have verified our perceptions of
President and Mrs. Clinton as people of integrity and genuine faith. As long time Democrats,
we have been and continue to be very supportive of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Thank you for any consideration you, Mrs. Clinton, and her staff may be able to give
to this request from the planning committee for The Sixth International Conference on Thinking.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Ms. S o l i s ,
Our association r e s p e c t f u l l y requests the honor of Mrs. Clinton to
speak at our upcoming summer I n s t i t u t e i n Toronto, Ontario, Canada
July 17 - 19, 1994. Because our members represent business,
industry, organizations and governments throughout the United
States and Canada, we believe her presentation would contribute
greatly to our administration's strategy for disseminating
information regarding health care reform. Health Care Reform i s of
great i n t e r e s t to both our Canadian members, since they have a
s i m i l a r system, and our American members working i n the employee
assistance f i e l d .
The Employee Assistance Society of North America (EASNA) has
members who represent s o c i a l work, psychology, alcohol and drug
counselors, workplace s p e c i a l i s t s and unions. They are s p e c i a l i s t
in dealing with workplace issues relating to health and wellness,
most notably mental health and chemical dependency, but a l l work
and l i f e s t y l e issues that affect workers and t h e i r f a m i l i e s . We
care deeply about our workers and t h e i r f a m i l i e s . We believe
strongly i n prevention, education, and early intervention. We are
the ones i n our organizations who find ourselves a s s i s t i n g workers
or t h e i r loved ones with analyzing insurance benefits to find
appropriate care. Often only limited coverage i s a v a i l a b l e to meet
t h e i r needs with mental health, chemical dependency, and other
issues which greatly affect the workplace.
The time s l o t s currently available for Mrs. Clinton to speak are
Sunday, July 17 at 9:30 a.m. or Tuesday, July 19 at 12:00 p.m. We
believe that t h i s presentation i s important enough, however, that
we could manipulate any time s l o t within our three day I n s t i t u t e .
I have enclosed a draft of our program for your information.
Please l e t us know your answer to t h i s request as soon as possible
so that we can produce our program and l e t our membership know of

Dear Mr. Williams:
Than* you for inviting President Clinton to the 14th Annual
Convention of the National Association of Black and White Men
Together. The President does appreciate your offer and i s sorry
he w i l l be unable to accept.
Unfortunately, the tremendous demands on the President as he
works to move our country forward do not give him the opportunity
to accept as many Invitations as he would like.
On behalf of the President, thank you again for your
invitation. Your continued interest and support are deeply
appreciated.

Dear Ms. Solis:
I am writing in reference to your February 22 response (enclosed) to an invitation
for Mrs. Clinton to attend and address the 19tfc National Primary Care Nurse
Practitioner Symposium. This address would be in Keystone, Colorado on
Saturday evening, July 16,1994.
JtoliLletter indicates it is unlikely Mrs. Clinton would be able to attend. On May '^N
2$, we will begin sending informational packets to our registrants. Unless I h e a / y ^
differently from you by May 23,1 will advise our registrants that Mrs. Clinton ^ [
will be unable to address our group. Should there be a last minute change in
J
plans and she can attend, we would be delighted.

Thank you for your ongoing attention to this matter.
Best regards,

Ms. Isabel Tapia, Deputy Director of Advanced Scheduling
Office ofthe President
Room 187-1/2

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Ms. Tapia:
I am writing to extend an invitation to the President to address the Broward Educational AIDS
Conference on Health of 1994 (Beach '94) on July 16, 1994 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I w^s
instructed to contact you as a first step.
The Conference is co-sponsored by the People With AIDS Coalition of Broward County (PWAC),
the U.S. Veterans Administration, the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services,
and our local Holy Cross Hospital, in addition to many other agencies, organizations and private
firms. The Conference will focus on Research Developments, Treatment Options, and the
Psycho-Social Aspects of AIDS; our speakers and moderators are nationally and internationally
recognized specialists in these fields.
While I understand that President Clinton is in great demand and that his schedule is extraordinarily
full at all times, there are several reasons that this event is especially deserving ofthe President's
support. Topping the list is the fact that this is the first time an AIDS conference has been
conducted in Broward County, Florida, which has the dubious distinction of ranking third in the
nation in reported AIDS cases per capita. Frankly, the President's participation would generate the
kind of interest and support that PWAC will need to ensure that this important and valuable
Conference will henceforth be an annual event.
Also, this event is educational in nature and offers CEU credits to health care professionals. We
estimate that 75% ofthe attendees will be in this category, with the remaining 25% being people
with AIDS and interested others. By the time of the Conference, hopefully the opposition's
smokescreens will have dissipated and our nation will be engaged in the process of crafting a
health care reform program to the standards esmolished by the President and First Lady. I cannot
think of a better audience to address on this issue at that critical time than one comprised of
specialized health care professionals and the chronically-ill patients upon whom they practice.
In addition, this summer is likely to be longer and hotter than most in South Florida because we
will be in the midst ofthe political season. As you know, our Democratic Governor Lawton Chiles
(who is also being invited to participate) is standing for re-election, as are many of Florida's state
and national representatives. As is the case most anywhere the President or First Lady travel, their
mere presence tends to boost the fortunes of Democratic candidates.
Thank you for your consideration of our invitation taPrasident Clinton. Our fervent hope is that
the President will find it possible to support this event with his attendance, "ft ease advise me of any
decision as soon as it has been reached.
Sincerely,
Michael Clint

Dear Sir/Madam:
On behalf of the 82,000 retired members of the American Federation of Teachers, I
would like to invite you to be a principal speaker at our Third National Retiree
Conference to be held in conjunction with our union's 66th national convention in
Anaheim, July 16-18.
You will be the first guest speaker on Saturday afternoon. July 16. We would
anticipate that you would speak at about 2 pm and have blocked approximately 45
minutes for your speech and questions from the floor.
As for content, national health care will be a prime focus of the conference. We would
hope that your speech would include remarks about the prospects for comprehensive
national health care reform, its impact on Medicare, Medicaid and the delivery of long
term care.
Other principal speakers include important figures from the field of gerontology, films
and senior advocacy as well as top AFT leaders.
As prime supporters of the Clinton health care legislation, we would particularly
welcome your participation.
Attendance at our general sessions is usually about 200 people. Most AFT retirees
are former teachers, although we now number an increasing population of state and
local government employees and school support staff.
We very much hope that you can join in Anaheim. Please call me at (202) 879-4526
or fax your reply to (202) 879-4597. Feel free to call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Frank Stella

Re: Guest Speaker AFT National Retiree Conference
Enclosed is a copy of a letter outlining our needs for a speaker at the AFT's Third
National Retiree Conference, July 16 in Anaheim. John Sutton suggested that I send
this along to you.
So far, we have not had any success taking the direct route. Both Fernando Torres-Gil
and Bruce Vladeck have turned us down. Since health care will be very much in the
spotlight in July we have focused on that issue, but we are not rigidly wedded to it if it
is a bit of a stretch for your speaker. For example, someone like Shirley Chater.
As an organization strongly supportive of the administration's policies, we very much
hope that you can send us a key administration figure in the aging field.
The AFT retiree conference will be held in conjunction with the union's national
convention, which usually draws 3,000 to 5,000 delegates and guests. We will
certainly do our part to publicize major speakers.
Should you wish to reach me. My direct line Is (202) 879-4526; fax (202) 879-4597.
We appreciate any help you can give us on this matter.

Dear Ms. Wellford:
I am writing to ask you to recommend a keynote speaker for Serving Software Inc.'s
1994 International User Conference on Thursday, July 14, 1994, in Saint Paul,
Minnesota.
Serving Software develops, markets, and supports computer-based scheduling and
management systems for hospitals and other healthcare settings. Our systems are
installed in over 700 hospitals across the United States and Canada, plus we have
worldwide distribution mcluding the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, and Italy.
Every summer we invite our clients to a conference that covers aspects of our
systems and general issues and trends in the healthcare field. Attendance is high:
historically representatives from over thirty percent of our clients attend, and this
year we anticipate approximately 500 participants. They include directors, managers,
and personnel from the OR, information services, materials management,
scheduling, and such hospital-wide ancillary departments as radiology, rehab, and
cath labs.
Serving Software will celebrate its tenth anniversary in 1994. The theme for our
conference will be "Ten Years of Partnership: A History of Success, a Foundation for
the Future/' V/e are all acutely aware of the potential impact healthcare reform will
have on our lives as professionals and as private citizens. As part of our effort to
address these issues, we believe that someone who could present the
administration's vision for the future of the healthcare industry would add a great
deal to our program and would be greatly appreciated by the participants. If you
have any questions, I would be more than happy to supply you with further
information about Serving Software and the conference. I look forward to hearing
from you. I can be reached at 800.676.7705 extension 8209.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The International Business Forum (IBF) is in the process of planning its 1994 Medical
Devices Forum to be held May 16 and 17, 1994, at the Marriott Financial Center Hotel in
New York City. The conference is being sponsored by Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison, the
West Coast-based law firm; the accounting firm of Coopers & Lybrand; and Modern
Healthcare, a Grain Communications publication.
We have done a number of conferences in the health care and biotechnology areas, this will
be our first venture into medical devices, a significant niche market which will be impacted
by the Clinton reform proposals. The audience for this event will include institutional
investors, private equity investors, bankers and other executives from the financial
community who provide much of the capital for companies engaged in the development and
manufacture of medical devices; manufacturers; appropriate government officials concerned
with regulating the industry; and attorneys, accountants and other professionals whose
activities interface with this community.
Would you consider speaking to this audience about your views on health care refonn?
IBF develops conferences for the institutional investor, corporate and public sector
communities. IBF assembles highly defined audiences of top-tier industry experts and
influential market makers. IBF's conferences are presented for groups including institutional
investors, multinational corporations, pension fund investment managers, investment
bankers, industry specialists, health care and employee benefit managers and many others.
These programs are well-attended annual events which offer both speakers and attendees
the chance to interact with industry specialists and to keep abreast of the latest
developments in their profession.
�_|-closely with major editors, publishers and trade associations to keep a finger on
^ l l i i t i s e of the world's businesses, and the challenges and opportunities they confront. A
ijftunber of IBF conferences are presented in conjunction with strategic partners and
lipbnsors representing major industry publications and organizations. These include Business
^Insurance, Pensions &. Investments, Independent Energy, Global Custodian, Hambro
International Equity Partners, the GIC Association, Coopers & Lybrand, Robertson,
Stephens & Company, Goldman Sachs & Company, Environment Risk, a Euromoney
publication, Chicago Board of Trade and NASDAQ, among others. These relationships are
on-going as we and our sponsors share a mutual commitment to the markets we serve.
I am enclosing a package of information about IBF and other conferences we offer. Please
note that I am the producer of the annual Venture Investing conference and you will note
from the quality of the speakers we attract for that forum that we set our sights high and
succeed in providing an informative and interesting program.
If you have any questions, please call me. I do hope you will agree to join us in New York
City in May at what promises to be an event which will reflect well on IBF, its sponsors and
speakers.
Cordially,

President and Mrs. William Clinton
Washington. D.C.
Dear President and Mrs. Clinton,
I am writing to invite you to the dedication of the Cancer Wellness Center - Barbara Kassel
Brotman House. I thought the best and most succinct way to tell you about the dedication was to
include the newsletter that tells about Barbara, her family and what the connection is between
the Center and Barbara.
Being a cancer patient I know how vital an organization like the Cancer Wellness Center is.
The CWC is a very important part of my life. Barb and I were in support group together and I,
along with many others grew to love her as a peer, friend and fellow survivor. I met her family
after Barb passed away and I went to work for the Center. They are truly very special people.
They knew how strongly Barb was connected to the Center and were generous enough to donate
$500,000 to enable us to purchase a permanent home. More than that they gave us their
"Hearts" I think you would only have to meet the Kassels to know what extraordinary, down to
earth, special people they are.
When Estelle Kassel heard that my daughter and I had met you Mr. President, I couldn't believe
how excited she was! She holds you both in the highest regard, has followed you from the time
you first decided to run for the presidency and said she believed you would be elected long before
the polls did! She also talked about getting letters from your office at the White House and how
special that made her feel. Their generosity reaches out to many. Mrs. Clinton, your action to
reform health care has special meaning to Estelle and Ted because of what their daughter went
through. This would be a perfect platform for a "town meeting" with cancer survivors and
their families on health care reform.
I realize that you can't run around the country speaking at every event, but the Kassels have
given to a whole community of people by providing funds for this building. The free services
that the Center provides only enhances a cancer patient's quality of life and hopefully makes
their struggle with this disease just a bit more bearable.
The dedication will be an emotion packed day for the Kassels and their family. Your being there
would not only show support to the cancer communit^bufalsotbuch them in a way that nobody
else could. Will you consider a trip to Northbrook/on July 1 Oth tq)join us for the dedication ?
Warmest regards,
Marcie Hahn

New Cancer Wellness Center bonds with hundreds of patients
By Linda Lipp
Siaf Wnier
O
n Tuesday, a miracle occurred
Al leas:. 11 seemed lhai way
to Barbara O'Connell and the other
vnlunieers ai Uie Cancer Wellness
Center, in Skokie. when they received
a phone call from one of the center s
cancer patients informing them that
her months of difficult chemotherapy
had paid off and shed gone into
remission. ^
The news was greeted with excited
squeak happy tears and hugs all
around " I believe in miracles. I
always did and I believe even more
now." O'Connell declared, dabbing at
her eyes
A longtime Northbrook resident.
O'Connell speaks from experience
Just one year ago, she was fighting
cancer herself. Other volunteers at
the wellness center are also cancer
survivors — and that is what makes
the advice and suppon they provide
other cancer patients so valuable
"What we're offering here is that
common bonding that says, yes, we
know what you're going through,"
O'Connell said.
LYNN POLEN, A Highland Park
resident and one of the noi for-profit
center's organizers, agreed. When
Polen was diagnosed with a rare form
of cancer nearly seven years ago. she

"My fnends and my family were
wonderful, but I needed someone who
had been there There are just cenain
feelings that you have lhat you can t
share with family and fnends because
you want to protect them or for some
other reason." Polen continued
The wellness center opened its
doors on Jan 16 in office space
donated by Rush North Shore
Hospital Since then, with very little
publicity and a shoestring budget of
donaied funds, the center has offered
free suppon. comfon and counseling
to hundreds of cancer patients
throughout the greater Chicago area
"Every week, I can almost
guarantee 100 people will walk
through these doors — and that's not
including the phone calls we get. It's
mind-boggling to me and I'm sitting in
the middle of it," Deerfield resident
Patsy Wimcour. another of the
center's founders, noted last week.
THE CENTER WAS the dream of
Wimcour and former oncology nurse
Judy Brannon, of Lake Forest. The
two women became fnends when
they worked in the office of a former
Deerfield physician, Dr. Gabriel
Schwam. A victim of amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS). a progressive
neuromuscular disease. Schwanz
inspired Brannon and Wimcour by his
will to live his life to the fullest.
After Schwanz ended his practice,
Wimcour and Brannon began looking
for a joint project. "We wanted to be
together because we had a fondness
for each other and we knew we could
work together. It just all meshed."
Wimcour explained
Because of her oncology background. Brannon was familiar with
the traumas suffered by cancer
patients and their families and saw a
void that wasn't being filled by the
Chicago-area medical community. It
seemed a natural step for the two
women to establish a wellness center
to enhance and supplement the
medical care that cancer patients
receive
"I think we're all called to be in
cerum places Oncology, it's who I
am Thai's really my commitment.''
Brannon explained simply

"The myth is that cancer is a
death sentence, but the truth is that 50
percent of cancer patents are

about enhancing the quality of life
We're trying to teach people they
don't have to be helpless, hopeless
and live in isolation." O'Connell
explained
Though Chicago-area hospitals do
offer some suppon groups, they
usually meet infrequently and don't
include any long-term, continuing
programs Counseling may also be

he six women are sitting in
an informal circle in the little r o o m , chatting and
laughing as they wait for
the m e e t i n g to s t a r t .
They're all dressed informally,
and one is wealing a scarf that
covers her head. Another has
hair that is extremely short, so
short that it looks almost like
the soft down on a new chick.
It's attractive.
The group leader comes in and
sits down. Well, she says with
smile, looking around the room.
How was the week?
The women all have cancer.
The Cancer Wellness Center,
the first organization of its kind
in the Chicago area, opened its
doors in Skokie in January. Its
purpose is to give people who
have been diagnosed with cancer
the psychological support lhat
often is missing.
"Our purpose is to create a
space for people to come together and deal with all their issues,"
says Judy Brannon. a former
oncologic nurse and one of the
founders of the center.
The diagnosis of cancer and
resulting treatment triggers
feelings of isolation, helplessness
and desperation in most people.
Those emotions are accompanied by fear, often paralyzing,
and frequently resentment
and/or questions about medical
treatment.
And no matter how much support the cancer patient has from
T
Health and fitness
family and friends, those who
don't have the problem can't
fully understand or help with the
psychological and emotional
issues, say many cancer patients.
The six women sitting in the
center on this recent morning
have been meeting for eight
weeks. They had mixed feelings
about allowing an outsider into
their group; these groups are intensely private and personal, and
they had debated the possible intrusion at length the previous
week. They finally agreed, reluctantly, because they wanted
others to know about the center.
None of their real names are
used.
More negative now?
One woman says her husband
had told her lhat she wasn't as
upbeat as she had been before she
started attending the meetings.
"He said I was more negative
than I had been before, that he
thought I was better off before I
had contact with (the group|."
"How did that make you feel?"
asks Iris, the group leader.
"1 resented it. But maybe he's
right. I don't know."
Janet, the woman wearing the
scarf, speaks. " I found the first
few Saturday nights after I had
come to these meeting], I would
be crying all the time. Saturday
[the day the group meets] became
so focused on cancer for me.
"I spent it thinking about my
kids, my family, and there were a
lot more tears than before. But I
think that's healthy. 1 think that's
all right. I think you have to go
through that."
Laura, who had started the
meeting by saying she had had a
bad week, speaks up. "1 was
furious when I started coming to
these meetings. I was furious at
what was going on in my life and
1 really did not want to come
here.
"My fear was that this was
going to dig up all the hurt of the
last four years (with cancer). Well,
now I know it needed to be dug
up. You can't just lay all this stun
aside. But I was furious about everything."
"She was a real mess," Carol
says.
The groups run by the center
are free. The first step is attending
a sharing group, which is open to

Cancer advice from
someone who beat it
By Linda Lipp
Photo by Hank DeGeorge
t is no small matter to turn
tragedy into triumph, but that
is an everyday activity for volunteers at the Cancer Wellness
Center.
Cancer is a disease that can be
just as threatening emotionally as
it is physically. Wellness centers
and support groups help cancer
patients and their families deal
with the stresses, fears and feelings
of helplessness and loss of control
that accompany the disease.
Linda Stinehart of Deerfield
knows those feelings intimately because she experienced them when
she fought her own battle with
cancer. She was introduced to the
not-for-profit Skokie center as a
cancer patient and now is one of
its 125 volunteers.
"In a year and a half, I had had
cancer, my mother-in-law had died
of cancer, and my husband had
left me, so 1 needed all the support I could get here," Stinehart
recalled.
"The word 'center' is very important to me because I feel very
centered here. When you walk in
the door, you know how important life is because you've lost
friends," she added.
An editor at a legal publishing
company, Stinehart now produces
the center's newsletter, among her
other volunteer activities. " I do
this from the heart. This is what 1
love. I dream of winning the lottery so I can just come here and
volunteer all the time," she said.
Judy Brannon of Lake Forest
and Patsy Winicour of Deerfield
created the center in response to a
tragedy: the illness of their friend
and former employer, the late Dr.
Gabriel Schwartz. The two women
were inspired by his determination
to live his life to the fullest in spite
of his affliction with amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis—Lou Gehrig's
Disease. When the disease forced
him to leave his medical practice,
they decided they wanted to work
together to do something positive
as a tribute to him.
A former oncology nurse, Bran-
I
non was familiar with the staggering emotional crises that cancer
patients and their families face.
She saw a void in the way the Chicago area medical community responded to those issues and suggested forming a wellness center,
similar to the wellness communities found in Los Angeles and
other major cities.
Winicour and Brannon were
joined by Lynn Polen of Highland
Park. Mary DeJager of Lake Forest and Barbara O'Connell of
Northbrook. After months of planning and preparation, the center Patsy Winicour (left) and Judy

The audience for this three-day conference will be primarily seniors and representatives of
many senior advocate groups as well as a few health care providers and state and local aging
staff. The conference will be held in the Eugene Convention Center at the Hilton Hotel in
Eugene, Oregon. This conference began in the spring of 1988 and has been held every two
years since that time. It is planned and organized by seniors under the direction of my
Commission on Senior Services and has been very instrumental in developing an extensive and
effective senior advocacy network in Oregon. At the 1988 and 1990 conferences, Oregon
seniors identified and prioritized services and issues that were important to them and developed
advocacy strategies to get some ofthe most important services included in the state budget for
senior services.
Your active leadership role in the health care reform efforts for President Clinton has been very
impressive. As Keynote Speaker for the 1994 Governor's Conference on Aging, we'd like to
hear you discuss how senior health care and long term care issues will be addressed in the
National Health Ca.e Plan.
I look forward to hearing from you so that the Commission on Senipr Services can finalize
planning for this 4th biennial Conference on Aging.
Sincerely,
Barbara Roberts

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The American Occupational Therapy Association and the Canadian Association of
Occupational Therapists will hold theirfirstjoint annual conference and exhibition on July 913, 1994 in Boston, Mass. Tnis imponant conference would be greatly enhanced if you
would honor us by accepting our invitation to be the keynote speaker.
The two associations represent over 60,000 members who are leaders in the provision
of education, rehabilitation and preventive care services in universities, hospitals, clinics,
rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, schools, mental health facilities and home care
settings. Occupational therapists from Mexico will be invited to attend to strengthen our ties
and encourage their recent professional development in the field of occupational therapy. As
travel for health care increases across all borders we need to be even more aware of the
effects of cultural and financial differences on the delivery of services. Occupational Therapy
professionals know the important role you have in helping to shape the future of health care
and prevention for all our citizens.
Occupational therapists both here and in Canada are dedicated to providing services
which will enable the individual to be as functionally independent as possible in all
occupations and daily tasks of living. Our goal is to deliver premium quality services
efficiently and cost effectively to all individuals wanting and needing to remain independent
and productive within their family and community. Your views of the future of health care
are of extreme interest to us.
We would be delighted to provide your staff with any information they may need in
preparation for your talk. On behalf of the American Occupational Therapy Association and
the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists we would be honored if you accept our
invitation to be the keynote speaker for this major health care cojfl^rencey

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

us at Black Expo Chicago and is personally familiar with our organization and
me.
As you are undoubtedly aware, Chicago is the 2nd largest African-American
populated city in the country. While a diverse group, African-Americans in
Chicago are particularly involved in politics and issues which impact and affect
their lives and their communities. Chicago has one of the largest groups of
African-American business owners in the nation, and the largest number of
professionals.
HcaJik Reform A Right or Frivticge? is the theme of our 2nd Annual
Health Conference. This theme was selected as AG icaii-Americans in the
Chicagoland area arc particularly concerned about the impact that health
reform will have on their lives.

There will be an opportunity for each panelist to speak on his point
of view, and to bring the public up to date on the standing of bills
before the Congress at that time. Dr. Brown will take questions
from tbe invited studio audience, balancing the responses in a
Harvard style round table.
The audience will consist of those invited by our 34 co-sponsors, a
very diverse group, as you may be able to ascertainfromthe list
which follows.
Three of our co-sponsors, AARP, Consumers Union and Health Access
of California, are making plans to show the production on a big
screen at various civic centers, church halls and community spots
throughout the valley for gatherings of their constituents.
Knowledgable persons will be on hand to answer questions on the
latest situations.
Although the League has taken comprehensive positions on the health
care reform issue, this is to be an educational program with all
points of view presented. It would be tragic if the President's plan
were to be the only one omitted, so I am deeply gratified that
Dr. Raul Henze-Perez may be with us to speak for the administration.
We would appreciate your sending us your confirmation that he will
be able to be with us. My FAX number is 209-431-1848 or 209-2227902. (Please call before sending.)
We would also appreciate a short biography of Dr. Henze-Perez for
publicity purposes. My address is

Re: Health Care Seminar, 8 July 1994, Peoria, IL
Dear Ms Hernreich
Illinois Central College and I have been working through Senator Simon's office to invite
President Clinton to Peoria, Illinois, on 8 July 1994 to participate in a Health Care Forum for
health care providers in Dovvnstate Illinois I was informed yesterday by Representative
Rostenkowski's office that the White House was unable at the present time to find a record of our
request. Connie from Representative Rostenkowski's office suggested that I inform you of our
previous request
Enclosed you will find correspondence to Senator Simon's office and a tentative outline of
the program, as of today, if the President accepts our invitation. Illinois Central College and I feel
very strongly that direct exposure ofthe President with the health care providers in Downstate
Illinois will not only be informative but a boost to overcome negative misinformation believed by
these providers
As you will note in the initial letter to Senator Simon, Illinois Central College is the model
in job retraining for the State of Illinois The President is invited to observe first hand active
implementation of his desires to retrain the unemployed while delivering his health care reform
message during his visit to Peoria.
Your's and the President's senous consideration on our invitation to Peoria on 8 July 1994
is deeply appreciated Illinois Central College and I would appreciate feed back as soon as
possible so that we can produce and mail out brochures to the large population of physicians and
hospital executives in Downstate Illinois We realize that this timeframemay not be satisfied till
early June which is totally acceptable.
Sincerely^nours,

Re: Seminar at Illinois Central College on June 24, 1994
Dear Mr Ryan:
Enclosed is a proposed seminar that will be presented at Illinois Central College, East
Peoria on June 24, 1994. The speakers are all conunitted except the Governor of Illinois and
President Clinton.
Illinois Central College and I would request your help in obtaining the President as a
participant for what we feel is a unique type of seminar and also for the addition reasons:
1.
Illinois Central College is very active in Job Training which folds into the topic of
Health Care Reform. With forfeiture of health insurance, job training can become
a function in futility wliile the students are being retrained.
2.
Illinois Central College was given an award for their Work Force Opportunity
Program by Governor Edgar. ICC's Work Force Program is considered the model
for the State of Illinois.
3.
Illinois Central College is a Teclmical Prep site in the State of Illinois.
4.
Illinois Central College has a Work Force Initiative program with Caterpillar, Inc.
5.
President Clinton was an instructor at a Community College wliile at Yale.
6.
President Clinlon would be able to explain in his presentation how Health Care
Reform and Job Training are related. He will also have the opportunity to look at
the Job Training Facilities at ICC while on Campus.
Your's and Senator Simon's help in getting the President to be the main speaker at the
seminar would have great influence in Central Illinois' knowledge and understanding of the
President's plans in health care and job training.

�Tliis seminar is the first to raise money for a scholarship endowment fund which ICC is
putting in the name of Representative Robert Michel. Tliis seminar would be helpful to show lhat
the President is bi-partisan when it comes to education.
Illinois Central College and I appreciate your offer to extend your office's help in getting a
spokesperson from the White House. It will be a successful seminar but if the President can
attend it will benefit the whole Central Illinois area.
Sincerely yours.

Dear President Clinton:
Our Health Care Roundtable Comnittee is feed up with making every effort
to have someone from the Administration to attend our Health Care Reform
meetings. W are having our forth Health Care panel meeting on July 8,94,
e
the idea of the Roundtable is to bring together every organization who
are concerned with Health Care. I have attached a list of those who have
attended and participated in the meetings.
You have been invited to attend the last three meetings, as Hillary.There
has been two months advance notice, then we get letters that have said we
must invite you or Hillary two months in advance. W have asked for the
e
Secretary of Health and Bruce C. Vladeck, the Administrator and he too,
can not make our meetings.
It seems to me that 60 major organizations under one roof who are leaders
of their own groups, would be important to the administration and the Congress.
Our next meeting cn July 8, 1994, will be a panel discussion concerning a l l the
plans that have been offered and the concerns of those attending.Everyone who
is concerned with health care both consumers and caregivers attend who represents
the organizations leadership. The meeting will be held at the Ramada Heritage
Center, Southgate, Michigan Registration and Continental Breakfast at 8:00 am.
t i l l 9:00 a.m., , Luncheon at 1:00 p.m. until adjournment at 5:30 p.m.
I would also hope that we could do somekind of a Town Meeting, with one of the
stations covering i t . W are asking Congressman John D. Dingell to talk about
e
his plan and others.Hope you could attend or a representative.

Dear Amy:
I am writing pursuant to our conversation of several weeks ago, wherein I
inquired concerning the possibility of the First Lady, Hillary Rodham
Clinton, attending Democratic Leadership for the 21st Century's health care
forum, tentatively scheduled for the week ol" June 6, 1994. As planned, the
focus of this event will be the effect of health caj^ieform-oii 20 lu 40 year
old professionals.
_
Specifically, Mrs. Clinton will have an opportunity lo address over 250
young Democratic professionals and lo discuss the health care issues that
are important to them.
Democratic Leadership for the 21st Century (DL21C) is a national
organization, founded in Chicago in 1991, that works in cooperation with
the Democratic National Commitlcc to give a voice to Ihe under-40
generation. DL21C's Chicago chapter slrives to involve younger people in
Democratic politics by providing direct access to local leaders, sponsoring
campaign-training workshops, and coordinating issue forums. Many of
DL21C's members participated in the Super Tuesday primary event for
President Clinton and the Navy Pier event featuring Mrs. Clinton and Mrs.
Gore.
Thank you very much for your help.

�THE DELEGATION FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
Advocacy Positions for Health Care Reform
Summary
The academic community supports the goals of health care reform and believes they are within
our country's reach.
Health care reform must support our nation's medical research goals because new knowledge
and innovation and their dissemination through education ensure continued improvement in the
quality of health care.
Establish an all-payer trust fund to increase the country's investment in biomedical research by
supplementing the appropriation for the National Institutes of Health, such as that offered by
Senators Harkin and Hatfield.
Health care reform must ensure broad based financial support for the special contributions of
academic medicine and medical education.
In order to achieve this, establish three all-payer funds:
1
o
A graduate medical education (GME) workforce account of $6.8 billion to receive funds
currently derived from Medicare and to replace funds currently derived from patient care
reimbursements to teaching hospitals.
o
A Medical School Fund of $1 billion to $1.5 billion to replace funds currently derived
from patient care reimbursements to permit medical schools to develop the ambulatory
programs required for primary care education.
o
A Graduate Nursing Education Fund of $200 million to permit nursing schools to
respond to the increased demand for advanced practice nurses.
Health care reform must ensure access to academic health centers and teaching hospitals for all
patients and must support the unique contributions they make to the public's welfare.
Establish an all-payer fund of $9 billion to safeguard teaching hospitals by replacing funds
currently derived from patient care reimbursements to pay for costs not incurred by non-teaching
hospitals.
The Delegation for Biomedical Research is a consortium of scientists and representatives of academic institutions
and professional societies who are concerned with biomedical education and research. A list of members of the
Delegation is appended.

�THE DELEGATION FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
Advocacy Positions for Health Care Reform
The academic community strongly supports the goals of health care reform and believes they are within
our country's reach.
Never has our nation faced an opportunity so rich with promise to restructure our health care system.
The goals of health care reform are widely accepted within the academic medicine community and include
universal, portable coverage for comprehensive, cost-effective, high-quality services delivered through a
simplified system for which all citizens take responsibility.
The Delegation for Biomedical Research offers recommendations about critical issues affecting our
nation's biomedical research and academic medicine enterprise that must be addressed under any proposal
to reform our nation's health care system.
2
All thoughtful Americans wish to preserve and nurture the essential contributions that academic health
centers and teaching hospitals make to the care of critically ill and vulnerable patients, to training the
future health care workforce, and to the continual provision of the new knowledge that drives quality and
contains costs. Despite the magnificent achievements and promise of academic medicine, however, the
marketplace forces that are developing, left on their own, will likely result in a system in which our vital
academic infrastructure is unintentionally but devastatingly undermined. It is critical that the very
legislative remedies designed to achieve the laudable goals of heath care reform not preclude our continued
ability to provide excellent health care to the American public. As rapidly evolving market forces drive
needed cost containment, legislative action is required to preserve the educational, research and patient
care services that previously were supported by clinical revenues.
Health care reform must support our nation's medical research goals because new knowledge and
innovation and their dissemination through education ensure continued improvement in the quality of
health care.
Biomedical research underlies most of this country's great achievements in health care. Biomedical
researchers have been the premier contributors to an historic revolution in the life sciences that has fueled
our internationally competitive biotechnology industry and that has opened up powerful avenues for
relieving human suffering and improving the quality of life. The integration of patient care, clinical
investigation and teaching allow medical school faculties to translate revolutionary new knowledge of such
basic fields as genetics, neuroscience and immunology into the prevention, detection, and cure of a wide
variety of diseases.
To reach the optimal balance between quality and cost-containment within health care reform will require
a substantially larger national investment in research from congressional appropriations for the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) and other agencies. Today's "half-way technologies" that neither prevent nor
cure disease contribute enormously to the costs of health care and can be replaced by more effective
approaches only through discovery and innovation. Senators Harkin (D-IA) and Hatfield (R-OR) and
Representatives Coyne (D-PA), Richardson (D-NM) and Upton (R-MI) have offered amendments to
proposals for health care reform that would establish a biomedical research trust fund to increase
investments in biomedical research through the NIH. The principle of the fund is that investments in
biomedical research should be in proportion to expenditures for health care, as investments in research
and development are to industrial budgets. By stabilizing funding for biomedical research, the trust fund
2
The recommendations are wholly consonant with those in a recent joint statement by the Association
of American Medical Colleges and the Association of Academic Health Centers.
�1
would reflect the will of 91% of the American people who are willing to spend more money on medical
research to improve diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Health care refonn must ensure broad based support for the special contributions of academic medicine.
Everyone benefits from the unique contributions of academic medicine to our nation's health care system.
Integrating patient care with research and education, academic health centers and teaching hospitals
provide the new knowledge, the new technologies, and the highly skilled professionals essential for
maintaining the best quality of health care. These essential functions must be preserved in a reformed
health care system.
Health care reform must facilitate appropriate changes in medical education.
Medical schools and academic health centers educate and train the physicians, nurses and other health
professionals who serve all members of society. America has the best doctors in the world because we
have the best medical education in the world. Successful reform of our health care delivery system will
require a significant reorientation of medical education to redress the imbalance between generalist and
specialist physicians in the workforce, foster collaborative patterns of care with nurses and other
non-physician providers, and develop appropriate ambulatory and community-based sites for teaching
medical students, residents and other health care workers.
Academic medical centers and teaching hospitals cannot meet the added requirements of health care
reform while clinical revenues that formerly contributed to essential academic activities are reduced in a
managed care-dominated market. These revenues must be offset by separately identifiable, all-payer fiinds:
1) A Workforce Account of $6.8 billion to cover the direct expenses of graduate medical education
(GME). 2) A Medical School Fund of $1 to $1.5 billion to permit the development of appropriate
ambulatory based educational programs. 3) A Graduate Nursing Education Fund of $200 million to
expand the supply of advanced practice nurses.
Health care refonn must ensure access to academic health centers and teaching hospitals for all patients
and must support the unique contributions they make to the public's welfare.
Academic health centers provide care to large numbers of patients with the most complicated medical
problems and the most unusual diseases, as well as to those participating in clinical research protocols and
those with limited access to private fee-for-service medical care (particularly the urban poor).
As recognized in the establishment of Medicare program, teaching hospitals incur increased costs because
of the special services they provide. These extra costs are not directly attributable to the role of teaching
hospitals in graduate medical education, and the extra costs are not incurred by non-teaching hospitals.
These costs are borne currently by a combination of Medicare Indirect Medical Education (IME)
payments and by the higher rates of reimbursement for patient care that teaching hospitals receive from
private insurers. In the current and anticipated marketplace driven by price competition and managed
care, teaching hospitals are demonstrably unable to recover the cost of their services. In order to
safeguard teaching hospitals and enable them to maintain their academic functions while providing patient
care services, an explicit all-payer fund of $9 billion should be established.
In summary, academic medicine provides the research and development for our nation's health care
enterprise. As the cost of that enterprise approaches $1 trillion, prudent management demands that a
broad-based investment of significant magnitude be made to ensure continued advances in research,
application of discoveries and an appropriately skilled workforce.

Louis Harris Poll, December, 1993
�THE DELEGATION FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
STATEMENT ON THE PROPOSED PAUSE IN INDIRECT COSTS
June, 1994
The Delegation strongly opposes the current proposal for a "pause" or "freeze" on indirect costs
because:
1)
the President's proposed increase for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for 1995 represents
a decline in untargeted, individual investigator-initiated research. This form of research has led
to the most dramatic advances leading to the understanding of the basic mechanisms of disease
and their cure and prevention. To benefit from this progress, reasonable, steady funding must be
assured. Indirect cost reimbursement represents an important and legitimate component of
research support.
2)
Limiting the indirect cost recovery rate to the 1994 level for each institution in 1995 will penalize
the institutions and scientists that most merit support based on peer review. Institutions who earn
an increase in direct grant support due to the excellence of their scientific research will recover
relatively less in indirect support; those institutions that fare equal or worse in the peer review
process than in the previous year will not have to sustain a relative reduction of support.
3)
The revision of OMB Circular A-21 in 1993 significantly modified the overall federal support of
biomedical research. Institutions have had to adapt to these changes and make economies
according to broadly agreed upon principles. A further reduction in support so soon after the
recent changes will be perceived in the academic community as selective and punitive and will lead
to increased erosion of biomedical research efforts.
4)
Although the "pause" is proposed as a one-year, interim policy, it would cause huge inefficiencies
by the sudden gearing-up or -down of a biomedical enterprise. Based on negotiated
understandings in indirect cost recovery, universities and other research institutions make
commitments for longterm mortgages for research facilities and amortization of equipment. A
sudden, unexpected contraction will leave institutions unable to pay on debt that was incurred on
the good-faith understanding that the federal government would act rationally and consistently.
It will not encourage longterm efficiencies.
The Delegation for Biomedical Research is a consortium of scientists and representatives of academic institutions
and professional societies who are concerned with biomedical education and research.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATION REPRESENTATIVE
July 8, 1994
I have attached information about a comprehensive health care conference entitled
"Creating a Heahh Care System that Works: Solutions and Successes" to be held in
Houston, Texas July 1-9, 1994.
This event is being handled by the American Productivity and Quality Center here in
Houston. My organization, the Greater Houston Partnership, has been asked to
participate in the event by inviting an Administration representative to attend the
event on the morning of Friday, July 8, in order to participate in a panel discussion
on the status of legislative health care reform initiatives, as they stand at that time.
Invited to participate in the panel are Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee, Senator Dave
Durenberger of Minnesota, Mike Bromberg of Federal American Health Systems, and
possibly others. We believe the panel would not be complete without a spokesperson
from the Administration.
Following the panel discussion, the Partnership will host a luncheon featuring a
keynote speech by Texas Governor Ann Richards, who will focus on the issue from
the Texas perspective. That luncheon should draw 400 guests.
I hope that a representative of the Clinton Administration can be identified to
participate in this important event. Let me say that we are not looking for a "big
name" like Ira Magaziner or Judy Feder - we simply want someone who can speak
authoritatively and articulately from the Administration's perspective, keeping in mind
that the speaker will be on a panel with members of Congress.
Once someone has been confirmed, I can provide all necessary details. Please call me
at 713-651-2192 with your questions. My fax number is 713-651-2299. Thank you for
your attention to this matter, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Dear Mr. President:
The Pharmaceutical Society of the State of New York is the voice of pharmacy for over
14,000 licensed pharmacists in this state. Last week, hundreds of m colleagues,fromthroughout
y
New York, visited our state capitol in Albany to express our concerns to our elected representatives
with regard to issues that impact our profession. The day began with a video tape presentation of
your visit to a group of senior citizens in Norwich, Ct, on February 24th. Never before has the
President ofthe United States come forward with such an in depth understanding of our profession.
The positions that you have articulated should serve as an example to all our elected officials in all
levels of government. The elimination of discriminatory pricing by drug manufacturers, assuring
patientsfreedomto choose their health care providers, insuring that senior citizens have a Medicare
outpatient drug benefit, elimination of physician dispensing and referrals and allowing health care
professionals to collectively negotiate without anti-trust implications....all of these will help to save
our profession.
Mr. President, on behalf of the Pharmaceutical Society of the State of New York and the
thousands of pharmacists and their families that we represent, I pledge our strong support of your
Health Care Reform Legislation (HR360O) and I will urge all pharmacists to contact their elected
representatives to be sure thatfogywill support your program and the pro-pharmacy components that
it proposes. Let us help you keep what is good health care and get rid of what's badl
I cordially invite you or arepresentativefromyour adnunistration to address the pharmacists

Dear Vice President Gore:
When I was a boy on the farm i n Tennessee, I used to l i s t e n
to your father on the radio every Sunday morning. He was my
Congressman, and I came to feel that I knew him personally.
Since I am a blind person and one of the leaders of the
National Federation of the Blind and since your great grandfather
(Thomas Gore) was a blind person, I feel some kinship with him.
In fact, I have done research on the l i f e and accomplishments of
Thomas Gore, and that research has resulted i n a published
a r t i c l e plus the chapter i n the small book (Making Hay), which I
am enclosing with t h i s l e t t e r . I hope you may find time to look
at tho book and that you w i l l feel we have done j u s t i c e to your
ancestor.
Also, as a fellow Tennessean, I wish you well i n your work
as Vice President and i n your efforts to bring opportunity and an
improved quality of l i f e to the people of our country and the
world.

I have been assisting the blind in this country as a volunteer and in some
instances on a professional basis for over forty years. Most of my efforts have
been with the organized blind and specifically the National Federation of the
Blind and its South Carolina affiliate. The National Federation of the Blind
is the largest organization of blind in the world. It has more than 50,000
members and affiliate organizations in every state. It is a highly regarded
mainstream group of people.

EARLIER.
The blind with whom I have come in contact place an emphasis on ability
rather than disability. They are a highly motivated but economically
disadvantaged group, through no fault of their own. They have more than
their normal share of problems with health care.
They are intensely interested in the President's health care program and his
proposed legislation. This legislation could go a long way toward preventing
blindness and thereafter in relieving its effects.
It is likely that the health care debate will be in full swing during the summer.
If the President's schedule would permit him to address this national concern
at the National Federation of the Blind Convention, it would send a message
of hope not only to the 750,000 blind Americans but also to the millions of
other Americans with disabilities who have intense health care concerns. We
�Page 2
believe this exposure by the President of his views could motivate many
throughout the country to express support for the program through their
Congressmen.
I would welcome the opportunity of meeting with you along with some of the
country's leaders of the blind for you to learn more about the organization
and to assist you in the evaluation of the invitation which is being issued. We
would be available at your convenience.
If I can provide you with any additional data, I hope you will let me hear from
you.
Gene, Jr. sends his warmest personal regards to both you and Linda. He still
refers to the very pleasant summer he spent with you in Rock Hill.
Sincerely yours,

P.S.
I'm having a small publication of the NFB sent to your attention by

mentions the Vice President's great grandfather who served as a blind
senator from Oklahoma. He may have been the first blind U.S.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I am writing to invite you to speak at the Arthur W. Beauregard International
Cancer Conference in Newport, Rhode Island, July 5 - 8. The Beauregard
Conference will assemble some of the wcrld's most eminent cancer physicians,
surgeons and researchers to review late developments in the battle against
pancreatic cancer, which is, as you know, one of the most difficult forms of
the disease.
Presented by the Brown University School of medicine and the Roger Williams
Cancer Center (a National Cancer Institute designated facility), the symposium
will include presentations by faculty from such prestigious institutions as Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, M. D. Anderson
Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, UCLA, Mayo
Medical Center and others in the United States, Europe and Japan. Attendees
will include oncologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons and other physicians
with special interests in pancreatic cancer.
^.te opportunity to address such a distinguished groupfrr.! thefieldof
medicine would seem to have potential benefits in the advancement of your
health care reform legislative proposals.

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton
Office of the First Lady
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The 132nd Annual Meeting of the National Education Association will be held at the New Orleans
Convention Center July 3-6. More than 12,000 delegates and NEA guests from every state are
expected to attend. I cordially invite you to deliver a keynote address on the day and time of your
preference.
Using the 1994 Annual Meeting theme: "Public Education is a Public Trust," we are hopeful you will
address the issue of health care reform. As you know, congress will make key decisions on this issue
soon. The choice on Capitol Hill is clear: real reform that solves the Nation's health care crisis or
pseudo reform that fails to guarantee all Americans quality care.
NEA is aggressively conducting an education campaign among our 2.1 million members to help
convince the 103rd Congress to stand up to the vested interests and put the public interest first. By
accepting our invitation, you will help activate a powerful constituency for meaningful health care
reform.
I look forward to receiving your response.

Keith Geiger

WEST WING RECEPTION R O
OM
When the West Wing was erected i n 1902, a rectangular lobby
was placed at the center of the north side of the building,
opening d i r e c t l y to the driveway beneath a small porch. When the
wing was expanded i n 1909, i t remained unchanged, while two
adjacent rooms were converted into additional waiting rooms.
In 1929, the Congressional Waiting Room became an o f f i c e , while
the General Waiting Room was absorbed into an enlarged T-shaped
Lobby.
In 1934, when the President's Oval Office and the Cabinet
Room were moved into the eastern extension of the West Wing, a
new lobby was created a t the center of the building with access
through a narrow foyer leading to the north doorway. The
somewhat informal character of t h i s new lobby, which was a
waiting room for both distinguished v i s i t o r s and the press alike,
was captured by a r t i s t Norman Rockwell in a four-panel
i l l u s t r a t i o n e n t i t l e d . So You Want to See the President, drawn
for the November 13, 1943 issue of the Saturday Evening Post.
The o r i g i n a l artwork, showing a variety of people seated i n red
leather chairs and sofas around a massive center table carved
with water buffalo heads, can be seen on the north wall
of the ramp outside the Press Room.
With the construction of new press f a c i l i t i e s i n the west
colonnade i n 1970, the lobby was renovated to provide a smaller,
more intimate reception room. The southern half of the room was
walled off, becoming two s t a f f o f f i c e s entered from the south
corridor. The plaster cornice of the remaining north half of the
room was retained and copied on the new south wall. The General
Services Administration then acquired furniture manufactured by
the K i t t i n g e r Company a f t e r 18th-century examples at Colonial
Williamsburg. At the same time, the foyer was provided with a
new marble floor and mahogany doors, and a porte-cochere was
added to the north facade of the West Wing to provide a more
formal., covered entry.
In 1988, the Foyer was f i t t e d with a pair of pass-through
magnetometers as part of increased security measures implement i
throughout the White House complex.

Cannonading on the Potomac, October, 1861
by Alfred Wordsworth Thompson (1840-1896)
o i l on canvas, c.1868-70. This scene of the American C i v i l
War was painted from sketches which the a r t i s t made of
the B a t t l e of B a l l ' s Bluff, on the Potomac River near
Leesburg, Virginia, on October 21, 1861. The canvas i s
inscribed on the reverse, "...Col. E[dward]. D. Baker,
Commanding, was k i l l e d i n t h i s action." A U.S. Senator
from Oregon, Baker was a longtime friend of Abraham
Lincoln; the president's second son was h i s namesake.
Among those wounded i n this b a t t l e , a t a c t i c a l blunder
for the routed Federal troops, was Oliver Wendell
Holmes, J r . , l a t e r a j u s t i c e of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Rough Sea at Bailey's Island, Maine by Frederick Judd Waugh
(1861-1940)
o i l on canvas, 1909. After studying at the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts, Waugh worked i n Europe from
1892-1907. In 1909, shortly after h i s return to the
United States, he was elected an Associate of the
National Academy and painted t h i s seascape which i s
t y p i c a l of his scenes of the surf crashing on rocky
shores.
Gift of Dr. Kenneth J. Maier.

John Tyler by James Reid Lambdin (1807-1889)
o i l on canvas, 1841. As an i n s c r i p t i o n on the reverse
indicates, Lambdin finished painting the head of
President Tyler on June 22, 1841 in Washington, D.C.
and then completed t h i s small f u l l - l e n g t h portrait i n
Philadelphia l a t e r i n the year. Through the imaginary
drapery, one can see the U.S. Capitol as i t looked from
1825-1856 with the Bulfinch dome. The White House
c o l l e c t i o n also contains a l i f e portrait by Lambdin of
William Henry Harrison, the president whose death after
only one month i n o f f i c e , led to Tyler becoming the
f i r s t Vice President to succeed to the Presidency, on
A p r i l 6, 1841.

Zachary Taylor by Eliphalet Frazer Andrews (1835-1915)
after John Vanderlyn (1775-1872)
o i l on canvas, 1879. When Rutherford B. Hayes became
president i n 1877, eight presidents were not
represented by p o r t r a i t s i n the White House, a
deficiency which he proudly corrected during h i s term.
Andrews painted four of these p o r t r a i t s , including this
copy of a Vanderlyn p o r t r a i t of Taylor, c.1850, at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art. Taylor was the second
president to die i n o f f i c e , serving 1849-1850.

The F i r s t Naval Action i n the War of 1812 by William John Huggins
(1781-1845)
o i l on canvas, 1816. This large maritime painting depicts
the naval d i v i s i o n of Commodore John Rodgers pursuing
the B r i t i s h frigate H.M.S. Belvidera, f i v e days after
the United States had declared war on Great B r i t a i n i n
1812. The five-ship American d i v i s i o n was composed of
Rodgers' own squadron - frigate President and sloop
Hornet - and that of Commodore Stephen Decatur f r i g a t e s United States and Congress and brig Argus.
With the advantage of following a steady course while
fleeing, the Belvidera escaped capture by the American
ships which had to turn to f i r e . This painting was
probably based on a sketch by James S t i l w e l l , an
o f f i c e r on the Belvidera.

962.195.1
Washington Crossing the Delaware by Eastman Johnson (1824-1906)
o i l on canvas, 1851. The success of Emanuel Leutze's
monumental l i f e - s i z e painting of t h i s subject (1850)
led a New York publisher to commission a smaller
version for use i n creating a marketable engraving.
Leutze, working i n Dusseldorf, assigned t h i s project to
one of h i s American students, Eastman Johnson. The
c i r c u l a t i o n of the prints made from t h i s painting only
increased the great popularity of t h i s scene of the
American Revolution. Johnson i s a l s o represented i n
the White House by p o r t r a i t s of Presidents Grover
Cleveland and Benjamin Harrison.

fabrics i n blue, gold, and ivory colors selected by President and
Mrs. Bush with the assistance of New York designer, Mark Hampton.
The oval wool rug, s p e c i a l l y designed for the Oval Office,
features a blue-grey f i e l d centering the Presidential coat-ofarms i n gold and bordered by a gold fasces band derived from the
overdoor moldings.
On January 20, 1993, with the inauguration of President
Clinton, new gold damask draperies were i n s t a l l e d , consisting of
a six-swag valance and three pairs of straight overcurtains i n a
popular 18th-century acanthus-leaf pattern. This fabric was made
by the New York firm, Scalamandre. A fragment of a red damask i n
this same pattern, found i n the Philadelphia house once occupied

statues which depict the c y c l e of t h e i r r e l a t i o n s with the
white man. This image, f i r s t exhibited i n 1908, was the fourth,
a s t o i c and dignified appeal for deliverance, of which a
monumental casting was i n s t a l l e d i n front of the Museum of Fine
Arts i n Boston i n 1913, the year i n which D a l l i n copyrighted the
image. I n 1916, he collaborated with the Gorham Company foundry
in producing reductions of h i s Indian statues i n three s i z e s .
This example, an early casting of the middle s i z e , c i r c a 1916,

On January 20, 1993, t h i s h i s t o r i c desk was returned to the
Oval Office for use by President Clinton.
A brass plaque affixed to the desk records the history of
i t s creation:
"H.M.S. 'Resolute', forming part of the expedition sent
in search of S i r John Franklin i n 1852, was abandoned in
Latitude 74 41' N. Longitude 101 22' W on 15th May 1854.

'George Henry'. The ship was purchased, f i t t e d out and sent to
England, as a g i f t to Her Majesty Queen V i c t o r i a by the Presiden
and People of the United States, as a token of goodwill &
friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was
broken up, and i s presented by the Queen of Great B r i t a i n &
Ireland, to the President of the United States, as a memorial of
the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I understand that you have been recently contacted by Dr. Paul Hatten of
Birmingham, Alabama requesting an opportunity to discuss market oriented solutions to
health care reform with you.
Dr. Hatten is a highly regarded physician in the Birmingham area and I have
truly appreciated his substantive thoughts on health care reform and related issues. I
strongly believe that competition within the medical field is instrumental in controlling
health care costs. I urge you to give his request every full and fair consideration.
Again, thank you for your time. Please do not hesitate to contact my office
should you have questions or need additional information.

First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton

Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I am a radiologist in private practice in Birmingham, Alabama in a large thirty-man group. My radiology group
serves several large hospitals in the Birmingham area and we are an extremely well trained, sub-specialized radiology
group.
Our radiology group has been instrumental in the organization and implementation of a radiology network which at
the current time covers several states. The concept of the network is to bid for managed care contracts for which
we can provide high quality radiology services at competitive market prices.
The concept of allowing capitalism in the business market forces to dictate the direction and flow of radiology
services is paramount in the creation of our network. I would be interested in having lunch with you and others who
are interested in healthcare-and discussing the market principles which are driving radiology services toward a more
competitive environment. I would be interested in meeting with you, President Clinton and any others in the
administration who might be interested in trying to understand the concept of market forces rather than government
forces driving the healthcare industry.
I have discussed my interest in meeting with you with the offices of my Congressman, Representative Spencer
Bachus, and have sent copies of this letter to Senators Richard Shelby and Howell Heflin. Congressman Bachus is
the representativefrommy congressional district and is extremely interested in allowing market forces to drive the
healthcare industry.
�jGY
A S S O C I A T E S O F B I R M I N G H A M . P.C.
am most hopeful that you will be interested in having lunch and hearing about our concepts and plans. I feel that
this is the direction that quality healthcare needs to proceed in the competitive market environment.
Enclosed is a copy of my Curriculum Vitae. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely yours.
H. PAUL HATTEN, Jr., M.D.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
As the nation's leading proponent on health care reform, we are
extending an invitation to you to attend a program entitled
"Prescription for Health Care Reform", at 6:30 p.m. Thursday,
October 6, at the University of Hartford in Connecticut.
The enclosed brochure provides the details. As you can see, we have
assembled a high-powered group of experts in the health care field
who will discuss and debate the issue among themselves and with
the invited public. Connecticut's congressional representatives have
also been invited, but have respectfully declined due to the extended
session .
The program is jointly presented by the Connecticut Young
Insurance Professionals and the University of Connecticut School of
Business as a public service. It is intended to bring the Connecticut
insurance community together with business, industry, government
and the general public to work toward a common understanding of
the problem and identify viable solutions to this complex issue
facing our nation.
We acknowledge that your schedule is a hectic one, but participation
by you and/or your staff is certainly welcome. Should you require
further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
David Cooksley, CICCPIA
President

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I am writing as a follow-up to my l e t t e r of June 14, 1994
to you, to which I have not yet received a response.
During the Presidential campaign and the i n i t i a l phases
of the health care reform discussions, there was a f a i r
amount of support for parity i n coverage for mental and
medical disorders. Recent versions of the health care
reform plans are discriminating against those with psyc h i a t r i c disorders and/or substance abuse disorders.
The psychiatric community of New Jersey i s very concerned
about the a v a i l a b i l i t y of psychiatric services unless
substantial modifications are made. The New Jersey
Psychiatric Association, representing nearly 900 psychiat r i s t s i n New Jersey, cordially invites you to our Annual
Meeting to participate as our keynote speaker to present
your views about comprehensive coverage for mental i l l ness. Our meeting w i l l take place on Saturday, March 18^
1995 at the Somerset Marriott i n Somerset, New Jersey.
Should t h i s date be inconvenient for you, we would adjust
our schedule to accommodate your a v a i l a b i l i t y . Either
myself or our Administrator, Carla Ross, are available to
plan for your v i s i t . We look forward to your response.

more Information to help us make a stronger case to our Congresspersons In Washington, D.C.
THe majority of the members of NAN are Democrats and we know that the administration has

Scheduling Director to the First Lady
Dear Mrs. Rodham Clinton:
I am the Conference Director responsible for the program development ofthe National Managed Health
Care Congress (NMHCC) which takes place each April in Washington, DC. The Northeast Managed
Health Care Congress, which will be taking place September 26 - 28,1994 at the New York Hilton, is a
regional part of our National Managed Health Care Congress. It is my pleasure to extend an
CareTerofm movement, your views would add to the imponance of this event. The subject of these
panels will consist of the responses to the health care reform movement on state and federal levels.
There may be another presenter during this plenary and I will notify you once someone is confirmed. If
you are not able to attend at these times, I would be glad to try and work something out to accommodate
your schedule.
The sixth annual NMHCC attracted over 7,500 participants last month including an audience of over
200 senior level corporate benefits representatives from 150 of the nation's largest employers whose
health care plans include over 15,000,000 lives and a total of almost $100 billion in spending.
Since our conference grew by nearly 50% last year, NMHCC has become the largest gathering of
managed health care payors, purchasers, providers, and suppliers in the nation and we have received
national press coverage by CNN, C-SPAN, and the Associated Press. NMHCC and it's partners, the
Washington Business Group on Health (WBGH), and the AAPPO are supponed by over 100
associations and publications. Our exhibit hall attracted over 300 exhibitors representing suppliers of
health care services and products.
For your information, I have attached a panial listing of current and past keynote speakers, history
information about NMHCC, a list of other regional events, and our brochure for the conference.
I feel this would be a unique opportunity for our attendees to hear you present your vision for the future
of the American health care system on the National level. I truly hope you will be able to fit this
conference into your schedule as your presence would make this program a memorable one.
Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss any questions you mgy have or to confirm your
participation. My direct line is: 617-487-6730. Otherwise, I will follow up with you on Thursday, May
12th. Thank you in advance for considering this invitation.

DearRlchaid:
On September 28, representativesfromAmerican Medical Security wiU be in New Orleans, LA to
introduce arevolutionaiyhealth care plan. The plan, called Access To Healthcare, has proven
tremendously successful in several other states, protecting over 31,000 formerly uninsured people.
American Medical Security cordially extends an invitation to you and First Lady Hillary Rodham
Clinton to attend the New Orleans Kickoff of Access To Healthcare. Mrs. Clinton has valiantly
championed the cause of the uninsured in our country, and we appreciate her efforts which have
drawn national attention to the healthcare problems Americans face today.
In the summer of 1992, Mrs. Clinton visited a company in New Orleans called Glazer Steel.
Glazer Steel employs over 300 people, and at the time of her visit, they did not offer health care
benefitstoemployees. We axe proud to announce that as of September 28, these formerly
uninsured workers will have Access To Healthcare through American Medical Security.
The attached news release and press clippings go into further detail about Access To Healthcare.
Upon its implementation within their districts, Access To Healthcare received accolades from
officials like Florida Governor Lawton Chiles and Representative Peter Hoaglund.
American Medical Securityfirmlybelieves that cooperation between the federal government and
the insurance industry will lead to true healthcare reform that most effectively and efficiently meets
the needs of the American people. We feel a visitfromthe First Lady would be a mutually
beneficial demonstration of both parties willingness to work togethertoalleviate our nation's
healthcare problems.
Richard, I emoved talking with you yesterday. I am sorry that we misplaced the National Health
Policy fundiaumg information. As I have not been successful in locating it, I will process our
donation immediately. You can count on us to support at the same level as last year.
Should you have questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 800-2325432, Ext 2736. Thank you for all of your help, and I hope you will join us in New Orleans
September 28.
Sincerely,

FOR RELEASE: 9-28-94
Low-Cost Health Insurance for Uninsured Workers, Families and Children
Introduced in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS- A revolutionary, low-cost health insurance program for
the 330,245 uninsured people in New Orleans was introduced today by American
Medical Security and its underwriter. United Wisconsin Life Insurance Company.
Access To Healthcare was developed by American Medical Security, the
company known internationally for its innovative insurance products, More than
31,000 previously uninsured people in four states now have health insurance
through Access To Healthcare. Today it is available in Louisiana, the fifth state to
have the revolutionary plan.
The most outstanding feature of Access To Healthcare is cost - 45 percent less
than comparable benefit packages offered by American Medical Security.
"You can make health insurance available to anyone, but if if s not affordable.
it isn't really available. If Access To Healthcare is anything, if s affordable/ said
Waliy Hilliard, president of American Medical Security.
The low premiums are made possible through teamwork - physidans,
hospitals and agents working together with American Medical Security, who does
not profit from administering the plan, ''Our goal is to offer a solution/ said
HilUard.
7
In return for working with this program, the New Orleans medical
community affiliated with American Medical Security will be reimbursed for
services that in the past would have brought them only partial - if any - payment.
Physidans and hospitals usually receive only partial payments from the
working poor because uninsured persons can't usually afford to pay their entire
bills. Some people are unable to pay any part of their bill. With Access To
Healthcare, these previously uninsured people pay a small co-payment, and the
insurance plan will pay the rest

"Our point Is to bring insurance rates within the reach of people who have a
limited income. Access To Healthcare strikes at the heart of healthcare reform. It
demonstrates that the federal government needs the American insurance industry
to deliver a better product and reach the people that need coverage now, " said
HUliard.
This program's success rings throughout the economic sector. Not only does
it help uninsured families and kids, it helps small businesses offer benefits that
help them retain good workers. When businesses succeed, the community gets
stronger, " said Hilliard.
Designed for small businesses, Access To Healthcare is available to groups of
one or more which have been without insurance for six months or longer.
For example, the Access To Healthcare premium for a New Orleans woman
between 30 and 39 years of age is approximately $76 per month. For an entire family
with parents in that Same age group, the premium would be about $221 per month.
Rates vary according to region, gender, age and family status.
Hilliard explained that "Uninsured people tend to seek healthcare later than
insured people, and as a result, they're usually sicker when they finally gettothe
doctor or hospital, which usually makes their bills higher."
"Then, to make matters worse, because most uninsured people don't qualify
for Medicaid benefits and can't afford traditional health insurance, they are usually
unable to pay these abnormally high bills," said Hilliard.
The Access To Healthcare plan is designedtocombat this problem, and is now
available in Jacksonville, Ft Myers, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Palm Beach, Bradenton,
Tampa, and St Petersburg, Florida; South Bend, Indiana: Denver, Colorado; and
Omaha, Nebraska. Expansion of Access To Healthcare throughout the U.S. is
continuing.
AccordingtoInc. magazine, American Medical Security is the fastest growing
benefits company and the 2l6t fastest growing private company in the United States.
The firm's sales have grown 4,912 percent since it was founded in 1988.

"Our network hospitals, clinics, physicians and agents are as concerned about
the uninsured people in this community as we are, and we are proud they have
agreedtojoin the Access To Healthcare network here in New Orleans," says
Hilliard.
"Our affiliation with seven hospitals and clinics and the more than 200
physicians in the New Orleans Access To Healthcare network offers people an
excellent selection of healthcare professionals and facilities," said Hilliard.
Hospitals and clinics in the network indude West Jefferson Medical Center,
St Jude Medical Center, River Parishes Hospital, Tour Infirmary, Chalmette Medical
Center, Methodist Hospital and Highland Park Hospital.

* Available to all businesses provided the group has not had insurance for at
least 6 months;

* Generic drugs are paid at 100 percent after a $15 copayment for each ,

October 19, 1994 at 5:00 p.m.
The Women's Resource Center is a volunteer organization serving the staff, faculty and students
at the medical center. We provide a communication network among diverse groups at CPMC
working to address issues of concern to women. The center currently focuses on career
development of women in the health sciences and the promotion of research in women's health.
We continue to be impressed by your relentless work to improve the health of Americans and
would be delighted to have you speak on "Health Care Reform and Women's Health."
Your keynote address will be attended by approximately 150 people and will be followed by a
ribbon cutting ceremony and a wine and cheese reception.
I would appreciate it if you could contact me at the above address or FAX (212) 305-8293.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Alison Spencer

Dear Ms. Rodham Clinton:
As you know, millions of people with disabilities eagerly await the passage of the
health care reform law. T h a f s j ^ j ^ J ^ p j J j h ^
at the National
Health Promotion Conference in Madison, Wisconsin on September 20.
Here in Wisconsin, as in many states, we as self-advocates are very concerned
about the legislation for several reasons:
First, we have hoped for improved services and better understanding of the
importance of long term care in the community instead of institutions. I am a living
example of this. When I was a child with cerebral palsy, I had to live in Southern
Wisconsin Center (a large state institution) for ten years. People simply did not
believe they could "take care" of me in any other place besides an institution.
They were wrong. Because I have had the help of good people at Options in
Community Living, I now live in my own apartment.
Second, we are anxious that funding not be cut. There are already hundreds of
people on waiting lists for services in our county alone. Across the country there are
probably hundreds of thousands of people who cry out for a good life - a healthy life
- but have been left out.
This health care problem faces us every day in ways that are more than political. We
are not "somebody else." We are citizens who want and deserve a full life instead of
being warehoused and forever waiting for help.
We hope you will address these issues when you speak at the National Conference.
We are all looking forward to helping make real health care a reality.
Sincerely,
Dan Remick

�Medical Pathfinders
Acute physical illness imposes tremendous burdens on the lives it affects, and
on the families, friends and care providers who want to help. Along with
crushing physical and emotional stresses comes the need for information and
tools to navigate a labyrinth of choices and decisions.
Such was the experience of Kimberly Price, a competitive skier who came face
to face with a life-threatening illness after an accident during an Olympic
Trials training event. As she struggled to learn more about her medical
condition, sought to understand its impact on her life, and fought to locate
necessary resources, Ms. Price became personally aware of the need for healthrelated information services. Out of that awareness Medical Pathfinders was
born.
This pioneering, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation was created to mobilize
support for a project of heroic proportion. Kimberly Price undertook research
to characterize the need for information and support services that would
improve the experience of health care consumers and increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of health care delivery. Since its inception in
1986, Medical Pathfinders has gathered data and built a base of experience
through the over 4,000 people it has assisted in researching and accessing the
medical, social service and logistical resources they required.
After eight years of research. Medical Pathfinders has identified and defined
the need for a comprehensive consumer-oriented information service. To
realize her dream, Ms. Price has formed Theseus, Inc. to develop the
capabilities to provide these services and resources. Medical Pathfinders will
continue to identify projects and work cooperatively with Theseus in
researching enhancements for delivering consumer-oriented information.
Medical Pathfinders is funded through individual, corporate and foundation
contributions, federal and state grants, and donated services. Located at 6901
East Tudor Road, Suite 11 in Anchorage, Alaska, Medical Pathfinders operates
from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

�Theseus
Today many of us are playing a more active role in managing our health care.
Assuming more responsibility involves a labyrinth of decisions. At Theseus
we believe that information empowers consumers to efficiently find
solutions to their needs for quality, effective and affordable health care. Thus,
we have devoted our efforts to the development of integrated products and
services that will revolutionize the way we all participate in our personal
health and wellness journeys.
As a result of the emotional, cognitive, and physical effects of an illness,
individuals are less equipped to manage a personal research effort. Accessing
all the necessary resources is a demanding task for the newly-diagnosed, their
family member, or a caretaker. The current climate is also challenging for
physicians, hospitals, and ancillary medical providers who are pressed into
more accountability for both quality control and cost containment. Insurers
too are looking to informed consumers and case management to improve the
quality and effectiveness of care as they compete in an increasingly aggressive
marketplace.
Over the course of years spent in the development of personal health care
management products and services, Theseus has become acutely aware of
these pressures and the resulting effects on the delivery of services. Drawing
on the experience and research of Medical Pathfinders, its sister organization,
Theseus possesses a unique insight into ways in which care providers can
address these difficulties through:
•
•
Streamlining the process of care delivery
Improving patient-provider relationships
•
•
•
•
Increasing patient responsibility
Improving the satisfaction of patients
Ensuring maximum compliance with treatment plans
Increasing effectiveness, efficiency and profitability of treatment

�The Medical Navigator™
Theseus announces the Medical Navigator, the first widely available printed
resource to help integrate, navigate and maintain information required for
managing an individual's health care.
The Medical Navigator is a personal health and wellness tool. Functioning as
a personal case management system, it equips clients with a comprehensive
program of information, direction and record management. Designed for
patients, caretakers, family members, or for use in an established case
management regimen, the Medical Navigator is a unique, easy-to-use
personal case management resource. The Medical Navigator is a powerful
tool for patients, healthcare providers and insurers at every stage of care
delivery, covering important issues including:
•
•
•
•
•
Formation of a treatment team
Exercise and holistic treatments
Medical Facilities
Financial concerns
Final arrangements
• Emotional well-being
• Medications
• Travel accommodations
• Legal issues
The Medical Navigator is a user-friendly, paper-based organzer with section
indexes and summaries, icons and color coding, and cross-reference directions
for immediate access to information, strategies and specific personal health
care data. Its large ring mechanism allows easy customization and exchange
of sections.
Theseus has designed flexibility into the system so that sponsoring
institutions can customize the Medical Navigator for their own patients.
Custom order sections dealing with specific concerns such as home health
care, support resources, medical research, family medical issues, specific
treatment plans, and condition specific information are now in development.
Accessory products planned for development include a carrying case for the
Medical Navigator suitable for transporting medical records and detachable
pouches and sections for storing medications, medical devices, insurance
records and receipts.

�Drawing on our experience providing information, referrals, and strategies to
over 4,000 clients we have identified the following benefits of the Medical
Navigator personal case management system:
•
Educates patients about their responsibilities in their illness, treatment
program, and wellness maintenance.
•
Procrastination due to denial is eliminated as the patient is given an active
role to play in their treatment program. Patient is occupied and actively
thinking about positive ways to assist.
Utilizing and gathering
information promotes perceived, as well as real control of their lives, their
illness, and their treatment program.
•
Patients become more self-sufficient, being equipped with much of the
information required for their care program. Appointments are more
efficient and involve better communications and exchanges of
information. By reducing delays in appointments and treatments, the
associated costs and the cumulative negative impact on the well-being of
the patient are avoided.
•
Improves communications with care providers throughout the course of
the treatment by prompting questions and dialogue. Allows for patients to
accurately communicate all information recorded between office visits.
•
More efficient treatment delivery because the patient is aware of the
requirements and can plan ahead. This reduces costs associated with
travel delays, repeat visits, hospital processing costs, missed work days,
and extended stress.
Medical Navigator™ Product Statement © 1994 Theseus, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
�•
Defines roles for family members and other support groups. Encourages
participation in gathering information, pre-planning hospitalization,
arranging travel, etc. Support group doesn't feel helpless and uninvolved
because they now have a role to play and tasks to accomplish in the
treatment of their loved one.
Assigning family roles also helps family
members overcome denial of the illness and the impact it will have on
their life.
•
Ensures treatment plan is followed with less interaction by health care
provider. Will reduce calls to provider about treatment effects, treatment
expectations, and medication management. Prompts patient to maintain
awareness of medication levels and therefore less likely to call in for
prescription refills.
•
From personal testimonials, physicians state that features in the Medical
Navigator help them understand what happens between office visits. It
gives the care provider a "live view" of the whole patient, not just a
snapshot of limited symptoms, reactions, and observations. Physicians are
empowered to work with the patient as an advocate in the treatment
regimen.
•
Allows physicians to see interactions in the treatment plan brought on by
other treatments such as massages, holistic treatments, and exercise.
•
As care providers have less time to spend on each patient, patients will
become more involved in their treatment program. Providers can now
get feedback on the tasks assigned to patients and can be assured of tracking
and follow-through on the prescribed program activities.

�Theseus Information Services
At the center of health and wellness management is easy access to current and
accurate information. On the basis of Medical Pathfinder's eight years of
research, Theseus is developing a comprehensive set of information services
to meet the wide array of consumer information needs and improve the
delivery of care.
Our research into health care delivery and health care reform initiatives has
defined the need for the broad scale delivery of medical and related
information. We propose to meet that need with an information delivery
system that will be widely accessible and available to the general public, meet
the complete needs of the consumer of health care services, provide a
comprehensive program for instituting providers' aftercare services and
marketing programs, and improve the delivery of services and the
implementation of treatment programs.
From an analysis of patient referral systems, Theseus has developed
proprietary tools and services to facilitate the care delivery process both at the
patient level and at the institutional level. Theseus has designed the
development of this system to be implemented in stages:
I.
Patient to Patient™ Medical Bulletin Board Service
One of the most valuable lessons Ms. Price learned about living with illness
was to tap the wealth of experience and support of those who have made the
same journey. That lesson prompted her to organize support groups and
seminars to share experiences, resources and strategies.
The value of those meetings w i l l be amplified globally through the
implementation of the Patient to Patient electronic bulletin board. Residing
on the Internet, this fee-based service will provide forums categorized by
condition, treatments, resources, etc. Serving as forum moderator, Theseus
will also provide through this format newsletter-type articles of interest and
current topical information and resources.
Theseus Information Products Statement © 1994 Theseus, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

�II.
Marketing and Referral Service
From the articulated needs of health care providers, social service providers
and referral services, and state and federal agencies, Theseus has developed
plans for a comprehensive service provider referral and marketing network.
This state-of-the-art database technology will link its customers to provide
free referral services to the public.
The service will provide on-line up-to-date information on health care and
social service providers, and charitable programs in the system. Available
information w i l l include service description, location, and contact
information as well as background information on the service providers'
credentials, schooling and specialties. The service will include capabilities to
set appointments and allow communication between service providers,
allowing for ease of referral between regional health care providers and
centralized special care institutions.
III.
Information Database
At Theseus, our concern for the individual is based on years of helping
thousands of people navigate their specific information needs. We have
found that consumers require access to a broad spectrum of medical and
related information and services. To meet those needs immediately, Theseus
has introduced the Medical Navigator™, and will concurrently implement its
information services. Integration of the information services will culminate
in the development of an automated information database capable of
providing a comprehensive information profile including the following
subjects:
Theseus Information Products Statement © 1994 Theseus, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
�Medical Information
• Consumer-friendly information on specific diseases
•
New medical technology, research and clinical trials
•
•
Health care professionals specializing in specific diseases and treatments

•
•
Accommodations near care facilities
Home health care
•
•
•
Specialized care and adaptive equipment
Patient to patient contact
Local and national support networks
Logistical Information
• Short-term extended care and living arrangements
• Travel arrangements with specialized needs
•
•
Financial, insurance and charitable assistance
Legal issues including living wills
•
Final arrangements
Using these specialized information services, Theseus will tailor locationand condition-specific products to fit health care service delivery programs.
Theseus will provide information profiles bound in the Medical Navigator as
the primary delivery system. Consumers will also be able to request custom
research services by telephone. Future development will allow on-line access
to database information and services for care providers and consumers,
intelligent fuzzy-logic search services of medical publications for care
providers, and interactive information kiosks located at care facilities and
linked to the network. Theseus will extend these capabilities to also integrate
large employers and employee assistance plans.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

consumers with resources and tools to make informed health care decisions.
Background
Medical Pathfinders collects, maintains and processes information that is required by consumers
and providers of health care and related services. A wide array of information is needed by
consumers who have neither the knowledge nor the research experience to locate or process
what they require. As a result of the emotional, cognitive, and physical effects of an illness,
individuals require increased support and are less able to manage a personal research effort.
This information includes such widespread details as maps; weather conditions; referrals to
providers, centers, research programs, hospitals, insurance and grants; medication information;
diagnosis and condition details; legal information; financial strategies; phone numbers and
addresses; and more.
At present this information is scattered throughout numerous locations and systems. Access to
this information is commonly provided through a number of different sources, including travel
agents, civic visitor information centers, medical facility information centers, medical associations,
private information specialists, hospital case managers, insurance representatives, etc. Accessing
all the required resources is most often an onerous task for the newly diagnosed, their family
member, or a caretaker. Although the availability of information is not commonly a constraint,
sorting, managing and processing all the data available is typically more than one can manage.
Medical Pathfinders' Goal
The challenges to solving these problems are significant. Limited efforts exist in a few organizations
which provide information-search services in specific areas or illnesses. The high cost oi these
services result from the expertise and labor intensive nature of searching for, gathering, compiling
and presenting the data. These searches are typically conducted by highly skilled medical librarians
or nurses. Utilization of these services is typically limited to patients capable of paying tho s300$1500 fees.
There are some organizations that provide medical information materials. Unfortunately, the
products are often formatted and presented without the special needs of the health care consumer
taken into consideration. Few organizations have developed the ability to provide their srrvices
in a package that is user-friendly and widely available, or the capability to respond to market
incentives demanding innovation and quality in their services and products.
�No efforts have been able to provide national marketing of their services, or timely and accurate
nationwide information. Without economies of scale in providing information services, without
technological solutions to the problems of collection and processing, and without the economic
incentives for the maintenance of a comprehensive system, development of an information service
on a nationwide scale has been economically unjustifiable. In addition, to date there have been
no incentives in the health care industry to provide the information which would support increased
consumer responsibility in obtaining health care services.
However, current health care reform efforts are resulting in new incentives. Cost utilization and
outcomes research have created strong incentives for service providers to decrease in-facility
time and increase aftercare services. Care providers are rushing to develop and implement case
management, service referral, and home-health care services in an effort to reduce costs while
maintaining quality in service delivery. Providers have realized that an educated, informed and
responsible patient will require less maintenance by highly paid health care staff. By increasing
the consumers' awareness of their personal responsibility and providing the information and
tools to make informed decisions, costs for the delivery of aftercare services can be greatly reduced.
Complementing the dynamics of cost containment, an increased level of accountability for the
health care industry is a major theme in every current health care reform proposal. The attainment
of accountability will result in an overwhelming demand for accurate and accessible information
to support consumer choices. While major efforts are addressing the various issues of industry
accountability, there is no system capable of delivering the information required to improve the
quality, cost and access of health care.
In the Near Future
Medical Pathfinders is currently working cooperatively with Theseus™, Inc. to develop services
capable of consolidating the wide array of information needed by health care consumers. As a
first step in that effort, the Medical Navigator™ will soon be launched as a personalized guide to
help consumers through the maze of information, allowing them to make effective and informed
health care decisions.
Funding
Medical Pathfinders is funded through a combination of grants, contributions and donated
services. We depend on the generosity of individuals and corporations to fund our services.
Grants from the State of Alaska and from the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation have
supported our product development efforts.

If
Lf it weren't for her competitive spirit and faith in
God, it's likely Kimberly Price
would have succumbed years
ago. Doctors say she has five,
maybe eight, years to live.
But Price has fooled the
doctors and beaten the odds
more than once during her
nine years of illness.
A downhill skier and
Olympic prospect in her
younger days, Price, 28, suffered a series of head injuries
on the ski slopes in the early
1980s that developed into a
rare and potentially fatal
metabolic disorder, leaving
her body gravely underweight
and starving for potassium.
These days Price is on a
mission.
A3 the founder and executive officer of I Care Patients
Network, a non-profit help
group that strives to take the
worry out of being sick, Price
and her colleagues have devised a system that stands
alone in the health care industry.

Price incorporated I Care as a nonprofit group in 1989, but she said
there was something missing in her
approach to helping the needy.
" I knew I couldn't do it alone," Price
explained. "I'd get calls from physicians in the middle of the night to go
out to the hospital to be with people,
to pray for them, to walk them through
the last couple of minutes of their life.
It was hard on me. I t really wasn't
helping them, and it really wasn't
helping me. I wasn't a health care
professional, but I knew there was a
missing link."
Price decided to travel, in part to
search for an adequate explanation of
her own illness.
" I had about eight different diagnoses, but there wasn't any primary
one," she said. " I was trying to become
stable enough so I could do what I
really wanted to do, and that was I
Care."
In and out of hospitals dozens of
times over the past decade, Price was
on the brink of death in 1990 after she
developed a heart infection from a
catheter. Her weight dropped from 70
pounds to 49 pounds, and her kidneys
shut down.
" I had this weird dream about this
mission," Price recalled. " I said wow,
this is it. I could be this new empire of
information — information research
services that would search out specific
requests that would come in from
patients, families, friends, and even
health care professionals.
"We would go in via computer and
on-line services and go into major
data bases from the travel industry to
the medical industry, to food and
convention and visitor's information.
And then somehow we could ... make
it visible for people who are impaired
because they are overwhelmed by this
illness — to take it step by step."
PricefiguresI Care has helped 3,000
people over the past few years, and
now there are plans to open a satellite
office in Seattle in 1993.
"My goal is to have centers where
people can come no matter where
they are in the world, to get information they need to survive and gain
quality of life," she said.

Kim Price of Anchorage was once a top skier. Now an unusual metabolic disorder means frequent stays at Providence.
Ex-skier now faces uphill challenges

At 16, she had

As she schussed down the slopes, Price
felt her life was perfect. She had her road
to the top mapped: the Alaska downhill
championships, the U.S. Ski Team and the
Olympics. '
Then her life crashed. Literally. Headfirst.
The first fall, off Mt. Alyeska's Eagle
Rock, left her concussed. A couple of
months later, while competing in national
training in Idaho, she collided with another
skier, breaking her nose and suffering another concussion.
Price went on training, but within six
months it was evident that something was
very wrong.

two accidents left her injured.

At times, Price is the portrait of a frail

CigPrice nurses a to talk to
him.
It was November 1985 After
three years of illness and
nearly 30 hospital stays. 22vear-old Price was used to life
as a patient. She made herself
at home, treating staff like
family and visiting other patients.
Tom Mellott was a 19-yearold with cancer. When Price
walked In with a cheerful
smile, he growled at her to get
lost.
Don't be so rude, she told
him. The people here are Just
trying to help.
"You don't have any right to
talk to me like that," he said.
"I'm dying."
"So what." Price answered.
"I'm dying too and I don't act
llkeajerk."
Mellott's mouth dropped at
her words, so different from
the sympathetic murmurings
he'd heard since his cancer
was discovered. Here, finally
was someone who could really
empathize.
"After I talked to Tom, he
perked up," Price said. " I told
him It was a complete waste of
time to feel bad — and time Is
something we were both really
short of."
"Tom Just really hit II off
well with Kim." said Linda
Mellott, Tom's mother. "They
had a lot of loving and sharing." Mellott said Tom's lungs
had been damaged by the
chemotherapy he'd received
for the cancerous tumor on his
lower spine.
The two spent hours talking,
about the frustrations of being
terminally 111: isolation from
friends, family worries, medical costs and the pain of treatmenu which focused on the
disease and not the patient.
Price told Mellott a story
she'd heard from Jeremy, a 4year-old dying of leukemia.
"Jeremy said that you can't
drive a car and tie your shoe at
the same time, because you'll

"It's Ae same way with being
sick. If you spend all your time
worrying about your Ulneae,

With the optimism of youth,
they decided to start an organization to provide terminally ill
people with the comfon they'd
found in one another.
They bralnatormed the possibilities: group sessions, a library, a data bank with information about diseases, financial aid, medical resources,
help for Individual patients, an
office in every hospital, a laptop computer for every patient.
Mellott named the embryonic organization, the 1 Care
Patients Self-Help Support Network.
They started helping Individual patients, but Mellott was
very sick.
"Tom said his angel had visited him in a dream and told
him he would die on Easter."
Price said. "We were best buddies, always helping each other
out. He wanted me to be at
peace with this, so 1 tried. 1
told him It was OK to go. That
he would always be a pari of
me."
"The death of a child Is ihe
worst thing that can happen io
a parent," Mellott said. "His
death destroyed our family.
Emotionally, we Just didn't
deal with our grief. God knows
what 1 would have done without Kim."
" I was holding his hand
when he died," Price said. "1
promised him that I would
make I Care work. He died
with a big smile, he was BO at
peace."
"My son was Just a wonderful kid," said Mellott. "He put a

Dear Dr. Sibert:
Please let this letter serve as an indication of my support and a statement of need
as related to I CARE PATIENT'S NETWORK, INC. and their efforts to expand
and broaden a medical data support center. Their present system is limited, to
some extent, by virtue of inadequate technical and electronic informational
capability. This grant, if received, will assist the staff as they proceed to explore
necessary research, development and marketing tasks/feasibility to create a state
of the art telecommunications center located in Anchorage.
Access to reliable/accurate medical information is difficult, at best, to those of us
who have spent our entire professional lives in the medical field. An individual
diagnosed with a serious medical problem is, for the most part, simply not able to
deal with the informational complexities that presently exist. This past year I
would have used the services of such a system as I struggled, in another state, to
locate a reliable source of information to help me understand and care for my
mother who was diagnosed as having ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Scherosis). I
found the National Association in California most helpful. It never occurred to my
mother that such an association existed.
I have worked as a hospital administrator for twenty-seven (27) years. I do not
believe that one day passed that I wasn't asked for medical information.
Technical capabilities and an understanding/caring staff are the solutions to this
problem.
Please extend every consideration to this group as they struggle to address this
substantially unmet need in a very complex healthcare delivery system.
Sincerely,
Alvin D. Finneseth, Ph.D.

Dear Kimberly:
I am pleased to send a letter of support to be included with your grant application to the
Alaska Science and Technology Foundation. It has been a pleasure to try to offer
guidance and assistance to your long-term efforts to develop a Patient Support Guide
What you are proposing can be of the utmost value to Alaskans, and others, faced with the
overwhelming complexities attendant with major medical problems.
During my many years of involvement in Alaska I have heard about, and personally been
confronted with individuals having difficult medical problems. Lack of information on
health resources, support systems, transportation, and treatment modalities has often been
overwhelming to the individual and family Providing current, reliable, and complete
information on treatment for major illnesses can be invaluable.
During this time of escalating medical care costs, it seems we have a long way to go in
making access to information available to the patient and patient's families Your proposal
will utilize the most sophisticated software technology which will capture the most
complete information to assist patients. You and I have had many discussions as to the
structure of your organization, and how to gain support to provide information, to a large
constituency of patients requiring "how to access" information.
Your dedication to the project is absolutely astounding. You will succeed with the help of
those you have inspired to assist you in achieving the goal of providing relevant
information for health needs for clients in Alaska, nationally, and as you hope,
internationally.
I will be more than happy to supply additional information upon request. You have mv
total support in your efforts.
Sincerely,
Arliss Sturgulewski

Dear Dr. Sibert.
I am pleased to write a letter in support of grant #92-4-273, submitted by I Care
Patients Network, Medical Data Support Center.
While I do not have enough information to evaluate the technical components of the
regional prototype of the database or of the special customized database under
development, I do support the concept of the I Care Patients Network managing such
a database.
I have known of Kimberly Price and her work since 1988, when we were developing
the National Council on Self-Help and Public Health, subsequent to the 1987 Surgeon
General's Workshop and Self-Help and Public Heedth, for which I served on the
Steering Committee. Since then, I have been impressed by Ms. Price's ability to
marshall resources to provide services responding to consumer (rather than
professional) needs. More than ever, individuals with life-threatening conditions need
help in accessing the range of professional and community services that can assist
them in continuing to lead active, productive lives as long as possible. Through the
mutual aid approach, burdens both to the seriously ill and to society are reduced.
Because I have family living in Alaska, I have had occasion to refer people to the I
Care Patients Network. While the assistance provided has always been satisfactorycustomized patient guides would no doubt be even more beneficial.
Best wishes for success with development of a Medical Data Support Center for
consumers and health care providers.
Sincerely,
Hannah L. Hedrick

Dear Dr. Sibert:
The Alaska Nurse Practitioner Association enthusiastically supports the grant application of I
Care Patients Network, Inc to the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation for funds to
support development of a Medical Data Support Center.
I Care has served thousands of seriously and terminally ill patients, their families, and health
care providers since 1986 by providing a range of information needed to manage a serious illness
effectively and with dignity. This project should improve the patients' access to current medical
information with which they can then make informed health decisions. Helping patients to
obtain pertinent medical information during times of serious illness is of great benefit to both
patients and their families. Development of a Medical Data Support Center in Alaska with
online medical information databases accessible by the patient would enhance the current support
systems for seriously and terminally ill patients who often must make major medical decisions
about their medical treatment.

a number of years and am familiar to her dedication to her dream of helping others
through her creation of I Care Patient Network. 1 am also keenly aware of the need for
the services provided by the I Care Patient Network Center. As a health care professional
in the acute care hospital setting and the outpatient counseling setting, I contact patients
and clients on a daily basis who would benefit greatlyfromthe services provided by this
unique patient and family support center. Services that would lessen the burden of
illness, improve access to health care, and support and guide those in need through the
overwhelming and complex processes of today's health care arena.
In fact I have recommended I Care Patient Network Service Center to my own family,
friends and co-workers.
This valuable center and the services it provides are without question long over due
within our community, state and nation.

Dear Dr. Sibert,
I am pleased and honored to have this opportunity to address a letter in support of
I Care Patients Network, Inc. and it's founder Ms. Kimberly Price.
Ms. Price is a very spiritual young women who has amazing strengths and
determination in assisting others, despite her own frail condition. Being part of the
professional pastoral care staff of Sister of Providence Hospital, I have had the
personal pleasure of knowing Ms. Price for a long time and have witnessed the
unbelievable dedication she has place towards the establishment of I Care.
As a Pastoral Care Associate who's role is to spiritual assist those in need I can see
how beneficially and complimentary I Care's services will be to any hospital setting.
The individual patients and professional staff will be able to address additional
concerns while in and out of the hospital receiving care. The information this
organization can provide will add comfort to countless individuals seeking and
needing additional resources for their own well being and that of their family.
It is truly wonderful to be living in a time where technology can allow us the opportunity
to improve the quality of all our lives. Please, extend every consideration towards this
organization who is striving to provide education through information to all individual
in need.

Dear Dr. Sibert:
As a board member of I CARE PATIENTS NETWORK, I a

above-referenced grant. A review of the grant application
should clearly demonstrate the organization's need for these
funds to improve the efficiency in accessing and providing
quality health care for the terminally i l l , not just for
Alaska but eventually for the nation.
The development of a regional prototype of a master
computer database w i l l enable I CARE to access and provide
the myriad of information necessary to assist the health
care providers as well as the seriously i l l patients. As
you may already know, I CARE has already served thousands
of patients, their families and health care providers since
i t s inception in 1986. With your assistance we can more
effectively and efficiently meet the demands of others who
need our services.
Dr. Sibert, for the thousands of seriously i l l

a most favorable response. Thank you for your consideration.

RE:
I Care Patients Network Inc. - Grant #92-4-273
Dear Doctor
Sibert:
I am aware that the " I Care" organization i s p e t i t i o n i n g f o r a grant
to fund prototype research, development and market f e a s i b i l i t y of a
Medical Data Support Center.
Having served on the Board of Directors b r i e f l y i n the past I am
s e n s i t i v e to the need f o r a means to inform people on coping w i t h
l i f e threatening problems by both the affected i n d i v i d u a l and the
family. Such information i s not e a s i l y a v a i l a b l e and i n any event
the persons i n need are not always aware of the actual a v a i l a b i l i t y
of help on an i n f o r m a t i o n a l basis.
Most of us have known persons who have gone through t h i s kind of a
trauma - and we have wished we could help or wanted to d i r e c t them
to help, and i t i s hoped that the foundation of knowledge already
developed w i l l become a v a i l a b l e here and nationwide.

t o develop

The mission of the 4A's i s t o provide d i r e c t services t o
people w i t h HIV/AIDS and t h e i r loved ones and t o educate
f o r the prevention of HIV/AIDS i n Alaska.
We have
provided services t o over 300 Alaskans w i t h HIV/AIDS.

Network on several programs i n c l u d i n g volunteer t r a i n i n g s
on death and dying issues, c l i e n t support groups and
s p e c i a l events.
We also know the founder, Kimberly
P r i c e , t o be a dynamic, hard-working and committed
individual.
We believe a centralized data base for services would be
extremely helpful to our c l i e n t s with AIDS.
Alaskans
facing terminal i l l n e s s e s often feel isolated without
ready
access
to
"state-of-the-art"
bio-medical
technology, innovative research or progressive care

Making this service
available here in Alaska w i l l certainly benefit our

i s a worthy project indeed.
We wish I Care Patients' Network the best on securing a
successful grant a p p l i c a t i o n . Similar p r o j e c t s on the

Dr. John Sibert:
I am writing this letter in support of the I Care Patients Network, Inc., as the
organization is applying to the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation for a grant
(# 92-4-273) to ftmd its Medical Data Support Center. I Care provides specialized
information and referral services to seriously and terminally ill patients and their
families as well as health and social service providers. The development of a master
database in Anchorage to manage medical, social and logistical information would be
an invaluable tool for the seriously ill patient and health care provider alike.
As someone in the field of Information and Referral, I have found I Care to be very
helpful in locating health and medical resources in Anchorage. I am currently
involved in a project to expand First Call For Help in Anchorage which is a generic
information and referral service. I helped to start this service at the United Way of
Anchorage and with their support I have recently moved the program to Catholic
Social Services where we will be developing our own generic database. However, we
will continue to network with sped ah zed information and referral systems like the I
Care Patients Network, Inc., as they are able to provide specific and up to date
information in the area of health care.

�I sincerely hope that you will consider funding their proposed Medical Data Support
Center. It would be a highly valued service in Anchorage and beyond.

On behalf of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce, I am writing in support of I
Care Patients Network, Medical Data Support Center grant #92-4-273.
The chamber has encouraged I Care in developing its program. The chamber
Gold Pan judging committee (the 5 immediate past chairmen of the board)
selected Kimberly Price and the I Care Network as a recipient of the Gene Guess
Humanitarian A.ward in 1991.
The unique service I Care provides has assisted many thousands of seriously and
terminally ill patients and their famihes. The funding provided by Alaska
Science and Technology Foundation can open up a whole new avenue of
assistance that is not currently available by computer search.
We have had the opportunity to work with and see the growth of I Care and its
very dedicated volunteers and staff, especially Kimberly Price. We encourage
you to grant I Care funding for prototype research, development and market
feasibility of its Medical Data Support Center. Establishing this center will have
major ramifications going beyond the state of Alaska.

Dear Dr. Sibert,
During 1992, A C Management became aware of I Care Patient's Network, Inc.
endeavor to establish a regional prototype database for their Medical Data Support
Center.
A C Management was most impressed with the leadership and dedication by the small
staff at I Care. A well defined plan was established for implementation of a Medical
Data Support Center. Through the latest technology the ability to access information
from across the nation, and eventually the world, is a very desirable necessity in our
society today. From a patient's (and/or family members) standpoint, having access to
current information on medical, social and logistic data empowers that individual in
the decision making process as it relates to the quality of care to be received.
Responsible choices and accountability come through education; education for the
health care providers, patients and family members.
A C Management highly recommends that I Care Patient's Network, Inc. be granted
the necessary funding to implement a Medical Data Support Center. The support of
Alaska Science and Technology Foundation will allow this to become a reality.

Dear John,
I have known Kimberly Price, the founder of I Care Patients
Network,
for several years and have watched with admiration the remarkable
progress of her idea.
This lady knows of what she speaks--the fear, the loneliness of not
knowing where to turn when the local medical community has
insufficient or conflicting ideas on how to respond to life-threatening
illness.
I am writing this letter as a private citizen. I urge you and your board
to review her proposal to see if it fits your criteria and merits a grant.
In my view, if the network she is developing is successful, it will
eventually be utilized throughout the nation.
With best
regards.
Sincerely,
Malcolm B. Roberts

Dear Dr. Sibert,
I am writing in support of I-Care Patient's Network, Inc.'s grant request (#92-4-273) from
the Science and Technology Foundation.
I have known Kimberly Price both personally and professionally for almost 15 years and
have watched her dedication, determination and hard work bring I-Care Patient's
Network, Inc. from a concept to a reality. She started out with a dream and has built the
foundation to an invaluable resource for the healthcare community.
I-Care Patient's Network, Inc. is filling a huge void left by the rapid growth in technology
and the de-personalization of the medical field. By providing the type of service that I Care offers, it is meeting the needs of patients and their families, medical professionals,
and healthcare facilities. There is no other resource available that can provide the
comprehensive data that I-Care can.
I-Care has been able to help a client with finding the best route from the airport to the
hospital as well as find out there the latest research is being done on a specific disease. No
request is too big or too small. Once a request is made to I-Care, the comprehensive
search is done quickly, efficiently and professionally. I have been very impressed with the
depth and the quality of the information provided and the timeliness in which it has been
delivered. There is no other organization that is doing this.
I urge you to carefully consider I-Care Patient Network Inc.'s grant request. I-Care has
already made a difference and has the potential to make a vital impact in the healthcare
industry.

Re:
Grant No. 92-4-273, I Care Patients Network,
Medical Data Support Center
Dear Mr. Sibert:
I am writing to urge the directors of the Foundation to support the grant proposal for I Care
Patients Network to establish a Medical Data Support Center in Anchorage.
My wife Sally passed away in January after a lengthy battle with mesothelioma, a rare asbestos
related lung cancer. She was fortunate that the tumor grew very slowly, and she outlived her
doctors expectations by almost five years after her correct diagnosis. Prior to 1986 she had
been incorrectiy diagnosed as having lupus.
As a skilled medical technologist, Sally began researching medical data about her illness in the
mid-1980's, although information was very limited. We were amazed at the general lack of
treatment information available even at larger cancer centers. Most oncologists had no
experience with patients surviving more than six months past diagnosis with mesothelioma.
In 1991 a mutual friend introduced Sally to Kimberly Price. Eventually, Sally became a
Director of I Care. Her medical and computer background could have been a great assistance,
but she had very little energy and time to participate in the development of programs. During
the last year of Sally's illness, Kimberly, despite her own serious medical situation, visited our
home on a regular basis to discuss I Care programs and just to be a friend. Kimberly spoke
about their friendship and their hopes for I Care at Sally's funeral.
Serving Alaska Since 7969

It was always Sally's hope that the I Care medical data base and support center would be
completed so that others with similar medical situations would have ready access to health care
information.
I again urge you to support the I Care grant request. Not only will it be a great service to
individuals with terminal illnesses such as Sally's, it would provide an additional economic
base to the community.
Sincerely yours,

and o f f i c i a l s from across the country. Attendance at our
annual conferences average over 500 attendees every year.
I currently Chair NIMLO's L i t i g a t i o n and Risk Management "
Section. As part of each annual conference, the various
-section organizations have workshops on areas of p a r t i c u l a r
interest to c i t y attorneys. My plan i s for the L i t i g a t i o n and?
Risk Management Section workshop to be a discussion on health" *
care reform and i t s effect on l o c a l governments. That workshop
w i l l occur on Sunday. October 24.
While I am sure you are inundated with speaking engagement,
offers, I am extremely hopeful that your schedule could
accomodate t h i s particular request. (Coincidentally, during,
the 1992 campaign, my wife had the pleasure of acting as one of
your tour guides during your v i s i t to the I n t e r f a i t h Health

I f you are able to attend the conference, I would
anticipate our conference schedule could be arranged so thata l l the sections (and not just the L i t i g a t i o n Section) would

I look forward to hearing from

TEN PAGE FAX TO (202) 456-2461
To whom it may concern,
I am writing at the suggestion of Dr. Bernard Arons to invite Hillary Rodham Clinton
to give a keynote address at the 1994 Behavioral Healthcare Tomorrow National Dialogue
Conference. The conference will be held at the Washington, DC Hilton and Towers,
September 11-14, 1994. Approximately 2,000 to 2,500 leaders and decision-makers from all
sectors of the behavioral healthcare industry will attend this annual meeting for executives
and senior management team members from virtually the entire behavioral healthcare
industry.
Behavioral Healthcare Tomorrow is the national dialogue conference on mental health
benefits and services in the era of managed care. It is sponsored by the non-profit Institute
for Behavioral Healthcare, which serves senior leadership from all sectors of behavioral
healthcare. Managed care and insurance companies in our National Leadership Council
(NLC) provide mental health and addiction treatment benefits for over 86 million privately
insured Americans, and NLC provider organizations represent over 50% of all mental health
delivery system capacity in the United States. Our 37 Participating Professional Associations
represent almost every constituency that is involved with the purchasing, provision, and
management of behavioral healthcare services.
We are hopeful that Mrs. Clinton can give a keynote address on any of the following dates:
•
•
•
Sunday, September 11, 1994
Monday, September 12, 1994 - Preferred Date
Tuesday, September 13, 1994 - Preferred Date
We will do whatever we can to accommodate Mrs. Clinton's schedule, within the limits of
our overall conference agenda. This is a very large and complex conference, so advance
planning and early confirmation of Mrs. Clinton's availability would be very important for
us.

We understand that Mrs. Clinton's schedule is subject to unanticipated change, and that, at
this early date, only a tentative commitment to participate in our conference can be made.
Therefore, we will also make back-up plans in case she is unable to attend at the last minute.
However, if Mrs. Clinton is interested and tentatively available to deliver a keynote address
at the Behavioral Healthcare Tomorrow conference, we would like to be able to include her
name and photo in our conference brochure.
In the event that Mrs. Clinton is able to participate and is unable to accept an honorarium,
the Institute for Behavioral Healthcare would like to make a $1,500 donation to the charity of
her choice.
In addition to this keynote address, we would like to offer Mrs. Clinton whatever
opportunities we can make available to meet with the CEOs and other senior leaders of the
behavioral healthcare industry.
The 1994 Behavioral Healthcare Tomorrow conference is certain to be the most important
meeting for our industry, and the focus of national attention. We are grateful for your
interest in the national dialogue process that our Institute coordinates, and we are hopeful that
we can welcome Mrs. Clinton to the distinguished faculty of nationally prominent leaders
who will be present at this meeting in Washington, DC.
A hard copy of this FAX will follow, along with background information about the Institute
for Behavioral Healthcare. I look forward to talking with you at your early convenience.
Sincerely,

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Dr. Khatamee:
Thank you f o r the i n v i t a t i o n to Vice President Gore to take
part i n an October gala f o r the Society f o r the Prevention of
Human I n f e r t i l i t y .
I know he sincerely appreciates your i n t e r e s t i n h i s
p a r t i c i p a t i o n , but unfortunately,'other scheduling commitments
prevent the Vice President from accepting your i n v i t a t i o n to
serve as honorary chairperson. As I'm sure you can imagine, the
r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s and o b l i g a t i o n s of the White House do not allow
the Vice President t o honor as many requests as he would l i k e . I
hope the event i s a success.
Thank you again f o r your l e t t e r . Please f e e l free to
contact my o f f i c e again w i t h future requests or questions,
wishes.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Gore:
A l e t t e r was sent to you by my o f f i c e i n January of 1987 and
enclosed was information about the F e r t i l i t y Research Foundation
with regard to "Prevention of Human I n f e r t i l i t y . "
A'letter
received from you communicated great i n t e r e s t , and requested
information on my progress.
I am taking the l i b e r t y of updating
you as to my current e f f o r t s . With special regard to the
preventive aspect that you are pursuing under the health
care reform program i n conjunction w i t h Mrs. C l i n t o n , I would
l i k e to share useful information w i t h you on i n f e r t i l i t y
prevention.
For the past ten years, as both a physician and the founding
member of the Society f o r the Prevention of Human I n f e r t i l i t y ,
I have doggedly lobbied w i t h the help of my colleagues i n
support of i n f e r t i l i t y prevention. Our e f f o r t s and objectives
have been praised by the AMA, WHO, CDC, AC0G, and AFS. The
prevention of disease must i d e a l l y be the cornerstone of any
health care d e l i v e r y system, and f o r obvious reasons, most
physicians would rather prescribe than prevent. This occurrence
account f o r the reason that i n f e r t i l i t y practices are booming
and i s also the greatest obstacle to prevention.
The Society f o r the Prevention of Human I n f e r t i l i t y has
strongly lobbied the American F e r t i l i t y Society, which i s
the forum where such goals as ours should be most prominent.
While they applaud our e f f o r t s and o b j e c t i v e s , we were barred
By^them-from obtaining special i n t e r e s t group status under
t h e i r auspices.
I t i s our contention that the American
F e r t i l i t y Society, an organization w i t h over 15,000 members
nationwide that spends 80% of i t s e f f o r t s on Advanced
Reproductive Technology and nothing on prevention i s i n e f f e c t
acting c r u e l l y and i r r e s p o n s i b l y .
A f t e r the b i r t h of the world's f i r s t " t e s t tube baby", (the
b i r t h of Louise Brown, i n England by i n - v i t r o f e r t i l i z a t i o n )
worldwide membership i n the three organizations dealing w i t h
reproductive technology increased astronomically. The American

F e r t i l i t y Society, ACOG and the American Urological Association
acquired huge numbers of new members i n that time frame, but
no increase of i n f e r t i l e couples was shown proportionate to the
i n t e r e s t of the medical community. Even so, the i n f e r t i l i t y
business i s f l o u r i s h i n g , but can only o f f e r a dismal success
rate of 13%. I n other branches of medicine, such a low success
rate would be met w i t h outrage, why i s i n f e r t i l i t y viewed
differently?
Over the course of the past ten years, very prominent physicians
have been grouped from the United States and around the world
by our organization i n order to launch a nationwide e f f o r t
to curb i n f e r t i l i t y . Your help i s sorely needed.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mr. Vice-President:
We are planning the third annual "Update in Cardiovascular Disease" Course for primary care
physicians sponsored by the Chattanooga Unit of The University of Tennessee College of Medicine and
Erlanger Medical Center. Erlanger Medical Center is a 750 bed county hospital and tertiary referral
center. We anticipate approximately 250 primary care physicians from throughout the Southeast in
attendance at our course to be held in Chattanooga (Holiday Inn Convention Center) on September 8th
and 9th, 1994.
Appropriate for the changing health care climate, our course will include a portion devoted to health
care policies. With great pride and anticipation, we w o u l d invite y o u to participate in our
upcoming course. Possible formats would include; a presentation regarding the Clinton Health Care
Plan or preferably a protagonist-antagonist format involving yourself and perhaps Mr. Gingrich.
Protagonist-antagonist formats have become a common method at medical meetings for fast-paced and
exciting presentations of evolving topics. We are targeting the late afternoon of either September
8th or 9th (there will be a reception on the evening of the 8th).
�Page 2
A l t e r n a t i v e l y , we would be privileged to have Mrs. Clinton participate, possibly in a protagonistantagonist format perhaps with Dr. Bernadean Healey.
We are tremendously supportive and appreciative for your efforts, and are hopeful for your
consideration and course participation.
Best wishes for continued success and good health.
Respectfully,
Gregory W. Natello, D.O., F.A.C.C.

Sul^cct: HHS visit. Wednesday, Inly 6
Date: 7/1/94
As discussed on the phone. I'm offering a little background on our hospilal tor
your use. along with a map to our facility.
Carolinas Medical Center
Established in I'MO. Carolinas Medical Cenler is an 84.Mvd academic medical
center leaching hospital. Il is the second largest hospilal in North Carolina and iealurcs a
Level 1 Trauma Cemer, a Level III Neoruilal Intensive Care Unil, the area's only Heart,
kidney and liver transplantation cenler, the Carolinas Hear! Inslituie (the area's major
cardiac care center), a Comprehensive Cancer Center, seven intensive cure uniis with *<>
)•
beds, and much more.
It is imporlant lo note that the concept of universal access lo healthcare is not new
io us. Since our facility opened, we have always healed every patient who comes
ihrough our doors, regardless ofthe patient's ability to pay. We are the only local
hospilal lo adhere to this policy. While federal law requires all hospitals to offer lifesaving emergency care, we go far beyond lhat. Since our county docs not own or operate
its OV-TI hospital, Carolinas Medical Center created a series of clinics in wliich anyone
who docs not have access lo medical care can seek treatment. Patients can be seen on a
coriiuuing basis, if necessary. By use of I lie clinics, and the prac I ice of prevcnlive
medicine, we strive to keep patients from using tiic emergency dcpaitmcni for nonemergency care. This, in turn, holds down the cosi of healthcare. In addition, we own
.md operate a Neighborhood Health Center. This lacililv offers high i.|ualitv medical care
convcnien! to some of Charlolte's major public housing projects.
�Our plans arc to tour our Children's Hospital and our Emergency Departmenl.
Here is ihe timetable:
9:00 - 9:30-- Arrive ai CMC and tour faciliiy with Paul Fran/ and physician (Note: this
tour will be open to coverage by the media.)
9:30 • 9:45 — Proceed to auditorium, where Dr. Torres-Gil gives preseniation on ihe
need tor universal coverage.
9:45- 10:15 -- Dr. Torres-Gil takes questions from the audience
10:15 - 10:30 - Dr. Torres-Gil fields questions from Ihe media
10:30 - Dr. Torres-Gil and Rep. Watt depart from CMC.
Maps to our facility follow this memo. Please pull inlo the main circular
driveway (al the fountain). I'll be there, along with Paul Fran/, the administrator of
Carolinas Medical Center.
We look forward to (he visit. In the meantime, call if there arc any question^.

�THE FACTS ABOUT THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN
NEW YORK
WHAT IS THINK FIRST?
THINK FIRST of Northeastern New York is an injury prevention program of Sunnyview
Hospital that has been serving the Capital District region since 1987. Our purpose is to
decrease the occurrence of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. We work both
independently and collaboratively to educate all segments of the community. We provide
programs to elementary, middle and high school students, work with legislators to develop
and to pass injury prevention legislation {such as the recently passed bicycle helmet law],
serve as consultants to other professionals, work with all types of media, educate the public
at large through participation in wellness days, and health fairs and speak at PTA meetings
and conferences.
WHY IS THE PREVENTION OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD INJURY SO
IMPORTANT?
Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries kill more people under the age of 34 than all other
causes combined. Those that survive are left with physical and cognitive changes that alter
their lives forever. In New York State there are approximately 24,000 such injuries annually.
Most occur to males between the ages of 14-24. Each incident costs society an estimated
$1.5 million in direct care costs, with involved brain injuries costing as $4.5 million. These
injuries drive up the cost of health care. Much of the cost is passed on to the consumer
through higher taxes paid for publicly funded programs and through payment of higher
insurance premiums.
WHY DOES SUNNYVIEW SUPPORT THIS PREVENTION EFFORT?
Part of Sunnyview's mission is to support activities aimed at prevention. A hospital is a
community institution and should respond to identified needs in its service area. We are
granted tax-exempt status because we do this. Beginning in 1992, the New York State
Health Department and the local Health Systems Agency require the filing of an annual
Community Service Plan by every hospital in the state. Hospitals must document both
community service and the amount of uncompensated care they provide.
HOW IS THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK funded?
�lUpt.,1
V^f^
-»
Sunnyview runs this program as an unreimbursed part of the hospital budget. The hospital
attempts to offset expenses by seeking grants and sponsoring special events such as the Silent
Auction. It is difficult to secure grants for general operating expenses ot" the program.
DO OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE AREA FUND THINK FIRST?
No. THINK FIRST received a one time gift from Albany Medical Center in 1992 of $5000.
WHY SHOULD SUNNYVIEW SPONSOR A FUND RAISER WHICH SUPPORTS ONLY
ONE PROGRAM?
THINK FIRST is the only Sunnyview program that is offered free of charge to the entire
community with no possibility of reimbursement. This is in keeping with the policy of the
national program. All 200 programs nationwide affiliated with the NATIONAL HEAD AND
SPINAL CORD INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM operate the same way.
OTHER FACTS ABOUT THINK FIRST.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK is one of 7 programs
nationwide designated to function as a training center for the national program. This provides
national recognition for the hospital.
* The director of our program serves as co-chair of the national elementary education
task force. This group is developing a new curriculum for students in grades 1-3 that will be
used throughout the country.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK received one of two special
citations given by Governor Cuomo for outstanding work in health education.
* The director of our program serves as director of the state organization, THINK
FIRST of NEW YORK, INC.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK provides programs to 10,000
students annually and reaches another 40,000 through community events.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK manages the low income
helmet distribution program for Schenectady County and has conducted helmet sales on
several occasions for the community.

* Our program director was instrumental in the development of the EUis-Sunnyview

* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK is a chapter of the national

' You made me reaI i
costly public health' problems. According to the N w York State Department ot
e
Health. 24.000 N w Yorkers are either permanently disabled or killed from he
e
or spinal cord trauma each year. In this country. 2 million people sustain
brain injuries each year. These injuries account for 100,000 deaths, 500,00'
hospitalizations, and 50,000 permanent disabilities. 2.000 people remain in
comatose state. 10,000 persons sustain spinal cord injury in N w York
e
annually. The rate of spinal cord injuries is higher in N w York State than
e
is nationwide. Nationally, spinal cord injury accounts for 5,000 deaths and
10.000 permanently paralyzed individuals. Approximately 50£ of these injuri
are caused by motor vehicle crashes. Falls, assaults and other mishaps acco
for the remainder. The 15-24 year age group is at greatest risk. Trauma cos
society more than heart disease and cancer combined and is the leading caus
of death for persons under age 34 than all other causes combined. These
injuries are incurable and among the most serious and costly. Direct care
costs and the indirect cost of loss of productivity for each of these injur
averages 1 5 million dollars.
.
During the past four years, THINK FIRST of N w York, Inc. has provided more
e
than 1100 classroom presentations to over 28,000 students in the Capital
District. Thousands more have been reached with prevention messages through
wellness days, health fairs, mall exhibits, and special community events. A
quarterly newsletter, Prevention Update, is published as a resource for the
.
community and other projects.such as the Schenectady County Bicycle Safety
Coalition which runs a bicycle helmet distribution program for low income
families are undertaken. THINK FIRST of N w York. Inc. collaborates with ol
e
organizations such as the Boys' and Girls' Clubs and Traffic Safety Boards
operates one of the eight training centers nationwide that prepare
professionals to start local efforts. Last summer,, through the generosity
local neurosurgeon, THINK FIRST offered a $10.00 rebate for a limited peri
of time to any adult purchasing a bicycle helmet for a child under the agfj
18. Schenectady County has the third highest bicycle injury rate. 64.42 p
«
100.000 population, among the 62 counties in N w York State according to
e
accident data from the Department of Motor Vehicles. The state average is
46.33 per 100.000 population. Most bicycle accidents happen to children
between the ages of 10 and 14.
W y is bicycle helmet use so important?
h
A study published in the M y 25, 1989 N w England Journal of Medicir
a
e
reported that in 1985, bicycling caused 1300 deaths and 574.000 emergency
visits in the United States. 68£ of severe injuries occur in riders undet
70 - 8 % of the deaths and disabilities were caused by head injury. Ride

wore helmets had an 85% reduction of head injury and an 88% reduction in
injury. In other words, riders who don"t wear helmets have a 6.6 greater
of head injury and an 8.3 greater risk of brain injury.
Today,, only about A of riders wear helmets. A major campaign is nt

�TEAMWORK
Restoring each patient to the fullest
possible health and functional ability
is the goal ofthe rehabilitation team.
To do this effectively, the team works
closely with the patient's family. Family
support programs have been very
successful in helping the family to cope
and then providing them with the tools
to become active participants in achiev-
ing the patient's rehabilitation goals.
The team approach is used as an
ongoing collaboration between patient,
family and staff.
Every rehabilitation program is
designed to encourage our patients to
reach the greatest level'of self-sufficiency their condition allows and their
own personal motivation demands.
�H w Can I Pay for this Program?
o
Many insurances cuver all or a portion of the
program. Private pay arrangements are also
available for the patient whose insurnnce will not
cover the program.
What Happens Once I Complete
Program?
Upon completion of the Program, a clinical
summary with recomiiu-nilation.-. is torwarJeJ to
the patient's referring: physician. Patients .ire also
strongly encouraged to attend the Sunnyview
Fibrositis Support Group, which is a\ ailahle to
all alumni of the Sunnyview Fibrositis Treatment
Program. The group meets at Sunnw lew on a
weekly basis. Individual ami tamily therapy is also
available through the Social Work IVpartment
for any patient who reipiires additional education

Dear Vice-President Gore:
On behalf of the Conference Program Committee and Mayo Foundation, I invite you to be the
KEYNOTE SPEAKER at the conference Visualization in Biomedical Computing '94 (VBC '94) to be held
at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, October 4-7,1994 (see enclosed Advance Program). If you
are able and willing to accept this invitation, we would be most honored. This international conference is
one of the outstanding meetings in our field and will attract over 400 scientists, physicians, engineers and
students from around the world involved in scientific visualization and biomedical imaging. We are
delighted that Mayo has been selected as the site for this important event.
Your presentation would be at 8! r^a m 'in-PhilHp9^
.QctofaerS. 1994. I respectfully suggest that your remarks include commentary on the current important and
critical changes in the health care industry, with special focus on the impact that technological and scientific
advances have had, and will continue to play, in both the cost and quality of medicine and health care
delivery. Of particular relevance and interest is the "information super highway" for which your vision and
promotion play such a seminal and vital role. Youf extensive involvement in and national perspectives of
the current challenges and climate of technological advances, and their potential impact on national health
care, eminently qualifies you for such an address. This topic, including cost/benefit concerns, is of
considerable interest to researchers and practitioners in the biomedical visualization field, many of whom
will attend VBC '94 and who are at the cutting edge of developing and delivering new technology and
advanced approaches to improved health care. They are ambassadors for over 250 institutions, mostly in
the U.S., which are influential proponents of the "information super highway."
We will be pleased to provide an honorarium for your participation. We would be delighted to arrange
or facilitate any other experience you wish during your visit. I will be happy to provide more information
if you desire. I look forward to your response, hopeful that you can and will accept this invitation, so we can
list you as our Keynote Speaker in the Final Program for VBC '94.

Dear Vice-President and Mrs. Gore:
While Western New York i s perhaps not the best known region of the
United States of America, nevertheless through the combination of
natural resources provided by the mighty Niagara River and the
human ingenuity t h a t harnesses i t s energy and power, i t i s the
source of l i g h t t o m i l l i o n s of people i n the United States and
Canada.
Like a l l regions o f the United States however i t s u f f e r s the many
problems consequent t o Change and the absence of awareness of the
deeply s p i r i t u a l meaning of human l i f e and of our connectedness t o
the EARTH t h a t nurtures us. At the recent meeting of the Governors
of the United States, President C l i n t o n spoke eloquently t o t h i s
apparent absence o f committment t o b u i l d a n u r t u r i n g society as
evidenced by t h e ever present presence of dissension and one
upmanship, a t a l l l e v e l s of government and i n most areas of human
endeavor.
In Western New York we wish t o t u r n on the human power and
resources present i n our region t o f a c i l i t a t e understanding of what
i t means t o l i v e w i t h p r i v i l e g e i n the United States of America, t o
enlighten our communities about the p l i g h t of Mother Earth and t o
t u r n despair expressed as dysfunction w i t h i n i n d i v i d u a l s , f a m i l i e s
and society a t the loss of what have been the mainstays of economic
s e c u r i t y i n t o HOPE f o r what CHANGE can do t o r e d i r e c t our hearts
and souls and e f f o r t i n t o these new challenges. As you recently
pointed out i n your speech on r e - i n v e n t i n g government, CHANGE i s
the constant of l i f e . As h e a l t h care professionals and counselors
we see people i n increasing numbers and on a d a i l y basis who s u f f e r
from the p h y s i c a l , emotional and s p i r i t u a l consequences of FEAR of
the many changes c u r r e n t l y under way and who f e e l cheated by them.
W believe t h a t by informing people about the challenges of CHANGE
e
and i t s profound and b e n e f i c i e n t rewards we can enable them t o
embrace the f u t u r e w i t h HOPE thus releasing them i n t o new ways of
Thinking, Being, Doing and L i v i n g .

Vice-President and Mrs. Gore:
western New York i s perhaps not the best known region of the
•'••uted States of America, nevertheless through the combination of
..^tural resources provided by the mighty Niagara River and the
•luman ingenuity t h a t harnesses i t s energy and power, i t i s the
source of l i g h t t o m i l l i o n s of people i n the United States and
Canada.
Like a l l regions of the United States however i t s u f f e r s the many
problems consequent t o Change and the absence of awareness of the
deeply s p i r i t u a l meaning of human l i f e and of our connectedness t o
the EARTH t h a t nurtures us. At the recent meeting of the Governors
of the United States, President C l i n t o n spoke eloquently t o t h i s
apparent absence of committment t o b u i l d a n u r t u r i n g society as
evidenced by the ever present presence of dissension and one
upmanship, a t a l l l e v e l s of government and i n most areas of human
endeavor.
In Western New York we wish t o t u r n on the human power and
resources present i n our region t o f a c i l i t a t e understanding c f v:hat
i t means t o l i v e w i t h p r i v i l e g e i n the United States of America, t o
enlighten our communities about the p l i g h t of Mother Earth and t o
turn despair expressed as dysfunction w i t h i n i n d i v i d u a l s , f a m i l i e s
and society a t the loss of what have been the mainstays of economic
s e c u r i t y i n t o HOPE f o r what CHANGE can do t o r e d i r e c t our hearts
and souls and e f f o r t i n t o these new challenges. As you recently
pointed out i n your speech on r e - i n v e n t i n g government, CHANGE i s
the constant of l i f e . As h e a l t h care p r o f e s s i o n a l s and counselors
we see people i n increasing numbers and on a d a i l y basis who s u f f e r
from the p h y s i c a l , emotional and s p i r i t u a l consequences of FEAR of
the many changes c u r r e n t l y under way and who f e e l cheated by them.
W believe t h a t by informing people about the challenges of CHANGE
e
and i t s profound and b e n e f i c i e n t rewards we can enable them t o
embrace the f u t u r e w i t h HOPE thus releasing them i n t o new ways of
Thinking, Being, Doing and L i v i n g .

living, thus allowing the energy of divine guidance and love to liberate us to the fullness
of life and joy in its living.

()\er the hist two years, numerous people have requesled my assistance in getting you lo altend
their events, knowing lhat I ran your 10S8 Maryland campaign. Most of the time I refer them
lo ihe appropriate person and/or address. The most recent request however is very, very
different for two basic reasons.
First, the Hospice of the Chesapeake is a tremendous service organization playing an important
role in the lives of many individuals. Second, it is administered by a member of a family that
has played a large role, not only in my life and development, but in the lives of hundreds of
individuals in the greater Maryland area.
Your attention to the enclosed information and attendance al one of the events during the 15th
anniversary celebration is greatly appreciated. The events will take place October 14-16, 1094.
The enclosed letter and informaiion goes inlo greater detail.
If you have any questions, please feel free lo conlacl me al work or at home (301 -907-96X7).

H O S P I C E PREPARES FOR MAJOR EXPANSION
Hospice of the Chesapeake is a few
steps closer to a major expansion which
will enable its staff to meet the demands of unparalleled growth in patient census, according to Hospice
president Erwin E. Abrams.
By the end of March, renovations will
begin to expand Hospice of the
Chesapeake's existing facility into the
adjoining commercial suites seven and
eight,'a move which will add 2400
square feet of working space.
Abrams said although details are still
being worked out, the new space
should house bereavement services,
some clinical staff, community relations/ development, and some support
and administrative services. "We want
to keep departments together so we
can maintain functional autonomy
within each department. Right now we
are becoming vastly overcrowded and
have used virtually every available
square inch of space."
It has been just over a year since Hospice of the Chesapeake moved into its
current facility, which is just under
4800 square feet. " I remember when
we moved into this office," says Director of Clinical Services Eileen Lacijan.
"We all thought what are we going to
do with all of this space? And now
there's not enough."

Since last year Hospice's
patient census has nearly
tripled, growing from just
over 30 patients to almost
90 patients. The Bereavement Center has also
shown a significant increase in clients, with
nearly 1800 current clients
compared to 1500 clients
last year. The lack of comfortable working space
prompted the Hospice
Board of Directors to approve an expansion early
this year.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mr. Vice President:
We are proud of the job you are doing in helping provide direction for the next century as the
United States continues its role of world leadership.
As you may be aware, Life Care Centers of America, based in Cleveland, Tennessee, is a
national leader in the provision of long-term health care services. For the first time in its
history, our company will have its annual management meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, a suburb
of Washington, D.C. It would be a special privilege — in a year when we have a fellow
Tennessean sitting in the office of vice president ~ to host you as a keynote speaker. We would
prefer the date of Tuesday, October 18, beginning at 8:30 a.m., as our choice, but the morning
of either October 17 or October 19 would also be open.
Since this also will be a time of high interest in health care reform, your appearance would be
even more pertinent.
In the event your schedule does not permit, we are also extending an invitation to Tipper Gore
to address our associates.
Also, enclosed is a packet of material, including a videotape, which will give you some insights
into our company's mission and values.
Thank you very much for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Beecher Hunter

�A
commitment
to
caring
The Code A admissions policy of Life
Care Center of East Ridge is rooted in a
philosophy of operations-a mission
statement-developed by Joy
Hambleton, administrator.
Called "A Commitment to Caring," it
is reread to staff members, who are
asked to recommit to it, and residents
each year during the Christmas season.
Here it is:
" I feel this is an opportune time to
share with all of our residents, their
families and our fnends the goals and
objectives that we are committed to
here at Life Care Center of East Ridge.
"We live in an age where life is an
uncertainty and death a certainty. We
live in an era of growing tension and
the tempo of modem life is not
conducive to rest and peace of mind.
Wherever one turns, there are things
which cause distress of mind and heart.
"The issues of life are oftentimes
overwhelming. Nothing seems to be
stable-be it government, business,
labor, society, even religion. This is
particularly important to bear in mind
when developing a philosophy of
approach to the care of our residents.
"They have been entrusted to our
care. This is a solemn responsibility,
and one that we do not take lightly. We
are all dependent on the love, the
1
thoughtfulness, the consideration and
the understanding of others. Therefore,
we all reach our greatest satisfaction
when we are a part of a group where
there is mutual love, trust and
sympathy. Here is where the scope of
one's relationships is enlarged and
raised to a higher spiritual plane.
"We are fortunate to have an
exceptionally well-trained staff here at
Life Care Center of East Ridge. Almost
all of our nursing assistants have been
through an extensive training course
and have received certificates.
"Over half of our entire staff,
including dietary, have certificates for
completion of the cardio-pulmonary
resuscitation course. These are high
qualifications and we are very proud of
these accomplishments, because they
ensure a higher level of medical care for
our residents.
"However, no matter how excellent . /
the medical care, if it is done in a spirit
of carelessness or indifference, it is
incomplete. Again, we are veryfortunate to have a staff who not only
are medically qualified, but who also
treat our residents with kindness, >
tenderness and genuine concent
"It takes a very special person to care
for the elderly. I speak for myself, and
our entire staff, when I say that we are
totally and unconditionally conunitted
to dedicating ourselves to
uncompromising service and care.
>•
-•
>
"If, in our simple daily duties, we can
go about our work 'esteeming others =
greater than ourselves,' keeping humble
when others are proud, patient when
others provoke, hopeful when others
doubt, cheerful when others are
spreading gloom, helpful to those who are hurting... then we will have begun
to fulfill the role of our high calling."

Dear Mr. Vice President:
The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA)
w i l l be holding i t s National Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada from
October 23-28, 1994. On behalf of AHIMA's 35,000 members
nationwide and the 3200 members who w i l l attend the National
Convention in Las Vegas, I would l i k e to i n v i t e you to address
the convention on Monday, October 24 from 8:45 a.m. to 10:00
a.m.
Our members are responsible for managing the health care
information that i s an increasingly important component of our
nation's health care delivery system. As advocates of patient
rights, managers pf data, and champions of new technology, our
members bring t h e i r expertise to the healthcare team in many
ways. AHIMA strongly supports your efforts to move our nation
forward in developing a national information infrastructure.
AHIMA continues to share the Administration's commitment to
health care reform. Last year, our members received a review of
the President's health care reform efforts from U.S. Surgeon
General Joycelyn Elders, M.D. who delivered the keynote address
at our very successful 1993 meeting. Her remarks were one of the
highlights of that meeting and once again we are looking forward
to hearing the Administration's perspective on important health
care issues.
We have been pleased to work with the Administration since the
early days of the reform effort and we take pride i n the
constructive contributions we have made in such areas as
confidentiality of health information, standardized b i l l i n g
systems, smart cards and development of computer-based patient
records. You have our continued support and we look forward to
working with you and Administration o f f i c i a l s in reforming our
health care delivery system and developing a national information
infrastructure.
The national leadership and membership of AHIMA f u l l y understand
and respect the enormous demands on your time and would be deeply
honored i f you could schedule an opportunity to address our 1994
National Convention in Las Vegas.

Dear Vice President Gore:
In September 1993, when the Report of the National Performance
Review was issued, a report issued by the Bureau of Labor
S t a t i s t i c s indicated that the third lowest increase i n
productivity i n federal programs was i n the medical services
area. Between 1967 and 1991, output per employee i n medical
services increased less than 1/2 percent. Only printing and
e l e c t r i c power production realized lower productivity change.
The Federal Physicians Association, established i n 1979 to
improve the practice of medicine i n the federal government, i s
interested i n your views of t h i s poor productivity and how we can
work with the National Performance Review to improve federal
medical services productivity.
To begin t h i s effort, the Federal Physicians Association would
l i k e you to be the keynote speaker at our annual meeting at the
Bethesda Marriott hotel.
The meeting w i l l be held October 26 and 27, 1994. • Your keynote
address can be scheduled at any time these two days.
The Association represents both c i v i l service and commissioned
corps physicians i n the federal government. Our members include
medical researchers working to find a cure for cancer and AIDS,
doctors safeguarding the nation's food and drugs, and physicians
caring for native Americans. In addition, our members include
physicians responsible for the health of p i l o t s and astronauts,
and c l i n i c a l physicians caring for inmates at federal prisons and
the dependents of Defense and State department personnel.
Please have your s t a f f c a l l our Executive Director, Dennis Boyd,
at 703-455-5947, as soon as possible to begin planning for our
annual meeting.

breakout sessions to focus on issues of special concern, including the
current dimensions of national and state reform, as well as
cooperative community and workplace efforts.
You are invited to speak at any time during the conference on the
work you and the Clinton administration have been doing on health
reform. The conference is also being co-sponsored by the National
Health Policy Council. Dr. Steve Gleason of the Council led one of
the task forces that helped developed the Clinton plan.
At this time, we can accommodate you as a luncheon speaker on any

�BIOGRAPHY
William E. Hembree
William E . Hembree is the Director of Health Research Institute in Walnut Creek, California. He has
held this position since founding HRI in 1978.
HRI is a non-profit, independent and objective, research-based organization providing health care
cost containment and health improvement policy planning and implementation assistance, research,
health education, data collection and analysis, ana communications services to major private and
public employers, unions, and coalitions.
Mr. Hembree received his BA and MBA from California State University at Long Beach. Since his
graduation, he has held management positions with a major group insurance company, the nations's
oldest Health Maintenance Organization, and Hewitt Associates, a compensation and benefits
consulting firm.
As Director of HRI, Mr. Hembree is responsible for overall direction, development, and management
of Health Research Institute's activities. He was instrumental in developing the nation's only 1,500
largest U.S. employers biennial survey of health care cost containment actions. Also, under his
guidance HRI has developed an analytic process used to help focus employers' scarce resources on
their specific cost and utilization proolems, health education newsletters, and employers' NEWS service, various workshops on cost containment, and a cost-benefit approach to health promotion,
prevention, and wellness.
His work includes assessments of alternative delivery systems, evaluation of results of specific cost
containment/health improvement actions, innovations in the use of health care anti-economics to control costs, and the development of coalitions and other joint employer- and community-based
efforts to halt spiraling medical care costs.
During Mr. Hembree's nearly 30 years of experience in the health and employee benefits field, he has
advised major employers and coalitions across the U.S., served as a director for public service and
private industry organizations, and has conducted legislative review and extensive research into the
most cost-effective ways to contain costs and improve employee health.
As evidence of HRI's neutrality and ability to work with parties from all sectors, Mr. Hembree has
assisted Hillary Clinton, President Bush's Office of Long-Term Policy and Planning, and has
provided technical and research assistance to the AFL-CIO in preparation of the book entitled:
Controlling Public Employee Health Care Costs through Labor-Management Committees.
In recognition of his accomplishments. Business Insurance magazine named Mr. Hembree as one of
twenty individuals who have had the most significant influence on employee benefits in the U.S. over
the past twenty years (1968-1988):
Mr. Hembree is an active writer and frequent speaker on innovative, and cost-effective health care
cost containment and health improvement techniques. His most recent book is entitled
Breakthroughs in Health Care Management: Employer and Union Initiatives.

Coalition
Membership in the Tri-State Health C.A.R.E. Coalition is open to any employer, labor
u n i o n , c o m m u n i t y group or other organization w i t h a consumer interest in health care.
The mission o f the Coalition is to:
• Understand h o w the health care system in the tri-state area operates;
• Determine h o w and where costs are incurred;
• Engage providers i n dialogue;
• Develop joint strategies to address health care costs.
Origins
Getting involved
The Coalition was started In response to feedback from a 1991
conference sponsored by the Dubuque Area Labor-Management
Council, "Can the Health Care Crisis be Cured?" Many of the 125
attendees wanted an on-going forum to address health care
quality, refonn and cost containment on the community level.
Diverse interests have organized around several principles: 1)
Employers and organized labor, as well as many other organizations, all represent "consumers" of health care; 2) Controlling
health care costs while maintaining Important health care benefits
Is a high priority for these groups: 3) These problems are not
susceptible to mutually-satisfactory resolution at the bargaining
table or by individual employers or groups acting alone: and 4)
Consumers from across the community can have an impact on
health care concerns by actively and responsibly working together.
Employers, labor organizations and
: other consumer-oriented groups from
Pubuque County. Iowa; JoPavicss
County. IlUor Grant County. Wis, can
affiliate with the Coalition according
• to this very low fee structune:;
• 1-100 employees/members: $25;
• 101-250 employees/members: $50;
• 251+ employees/members: $100.
Member organizations qet regular
corrinuffiications, attend semnars and
conferences at reduced rates, elect
; board members, and particulate in the
Coalition's various projects. Current
projects biclude:
• Healthy Pubuque 2000;
• Greater Pubuque Health and
Wellness Challenge;
• Small Woricplaces Committee.
The Small Woricplaces Committee is
currently identifying the needs of
small employers and exploring options
to address them, including a health
care purchasing alliance.

The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society and the Healthcare Strategy
Institute are pleased to invite the Honorable Albert Gore, Jr. to deliver the keynote address on
October 3,1994 to a joint conference of approximately 750 hospital chief executive officers, chief
information officers, information systems speciahsts and telecommunications professionals. The
location of the conference is Crystal City, Virginia at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel. Vice
President Gore's address will initiate two simultaneous professional events related to
telecommunications
and healthcare: Ihe First National Congress on Transitioning to Capitation
and The 1994 Annual HIMSS Health Care Communications Conference and Exhibition "Taking the
On-Ramp to the Information Superhighway: Communications Strategies for Healthcare Reform."
Clearly, the distinguished audience of opinion leaders will benefit from Mr. Gore's broad
perspective as the preeminent public advocate of a new era in telecommunications and as an
invested partner in healthcare reform.
On behalf of HIMSS and the Healthcare Strategy Institute, thank you for considering our request.
If possible, we would appreciate confirmation by July 21 of Vice President Gore's availability to
speak. In Jhe^interim, please do not hesitate to call if you require additional information.

Thank you for speaking with me earlier today. The information you requested follows.

y/ U
In late June, I invited Vice President Gore to deliver the keynote address to a group of
Dnl^- l/li
approximately 500 health care CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, information systems specialists and
^
telecommunications professionals. The address was to be part of the 1994 Annual HIMSS Health A
Care Communications Conference and Exhibition entitled taking the On-Ramp to the Information
Superhighioay: Communications Strategies for Healthcare Reform, October 3-4, 1994 in Crystal
City, VA. We received correspondence from Mr. Anthony Wilson indicating that Vice President
Gore would be unable to deliver the address in person.
In lieu of a personal appearance, we propose a video link with the conference attendees emanating
from the Vice President's office (or other location of his choice). The link would include a two-way
audio connection so that the Vice President could hear and respond as desired to the questions and
comments of the audience members. We think this type of sophisticated electronic town hall
meeting is most appropriate considering the Vice President's commitment to information
technology, and the conference attendees' expertise in telecommunications.
We would be most willing to accommodate Vice President Gore's schedule. A brief welcoming
address of less than 30 minutes including questions and answers would be ideal. If acceptable, the
welcome would take place at approximately 7:30 am EDT on October 3.
We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible- If you have any questions, or if I can
provide further information regarding HIMSS, please do not hesitate to call me.

Dear Mr. President
Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton
Can we help each other?
You are looking to develop a health care refonn bill. We are looking to share regional data
that will impact the success of reform upon voters in our state.
As the Director of Maternal-Fetal medicine at our institution, my "constituency" of high
risk pregnancies commands a powerful lobby involving moral, fiscal, and medical
challenges that constantly capture the attention of the nation. Our department provides
regional services in the southern portion of the State of Oregon, represented by The
Honorable Mark O. Hatfield, Bob Packwood, Peter DeFazio, and ultimately The President.
What is unique about the needs of our patients is the rural distribution of population,
which has a distinctfiscalresource profile. We are hoping to share information with you
(or your liaison) that will allow for the greatest success of the upcoming bill in overcoming
the diversity of care in our nation as represented by rural and metropolitan areas. The
success of the bill for access, quality, and efficiency of patient care depends upon
understanding these regional differences.

�Health Care Refonn
-2-
February 28, 1994
Our Senators should be proud and vocal regarding the high level of altruistic care in our
area of Oregon. Issues of refonn that people wish would happen are happening. For
example, we have a highly developed system of certified and noncertified midwife care with
4 of all births occurring out of hospital. Generalists in family medicine (including a high
%
number of osteopathic physicians), provide care in a population that is geographically
sparse and spread out over great distances. This geographic barrier to care makes tertiary
referral difficult, and the needs of these Americans differs significantly from those of inner
city, metropolitan patients. We have defined these differences and initiated solutions. Our
Senators should champion the success of extensive programs to make prenatal care
available in our region. Currently over 99.4% of all births in our Center have adequate
prenatal care. I proudly believe this is one of the highest rates of adequate care in the
nation, yet we continue to have medical hardship with fiscal and human concerns such as:
1) 1/4 pregnancies is exposed to smoking with negative effects on fetal growth and
increased prematurity (preventable).
2) 1/8 pregnancies is effected by illicit substance abuse (preventable).
3) 1/10 births is premature (possibly preventable).
4) 1/13 births has a coded congenital anomaly (possibly preventable for specific
syndromes).
5)
1/40 births has a major chromosomal, central nervous system, or cardiac
anomaly which will require extensive surgical care, have prolonged handicap, and
lifelong loss of productivity (selectively preventable for diabetics and neural tube
defects).
6) 1/80 births is stillborn (selectively preventable).
�Health Care Refonn
- 3-
February 28, 1994
It should be clear from the above that universal access to prenatal care alone will not be
the answer to fiscal needs in any health care refonn.
We have collected careful
epidemiological data regarding the potential expenses to reimbursement pools regarding the
above diagnosis codes. Lessons learned in our Center can avoid wastage in the future bill.
For example, for every 100 maternal-fetal admissions in our Center, there are over
$6,000,000 of hospital bills generated. The subtraction of costs and deduction leaves a
revenue for the institution of approximately $200,000. This represents a positive $800,000
private pay and negative $600,000 welfare pay (assisted). The impact of increasing state
assisted or federally assisted patient care will produce a reimbursement dilemma that
creates an unrealistic burden upon institutions. The fiscal impact of prematurity is one the
greatest expenditures of any prepaid organization, and costs must be accounted for in any
reform bill.
The ultimate success or failure of any health care system (both medically and fiscally) will
be determined by the preventative and therapeutic services provided to women of
reproductive years and to the unborn child. You should be aware that six of the first ten
most common institutional procedures involves exclusively women's services. Seven of the
first ten and eleven of thefirstthirty DRG (hospital diagnosis and discharge codes) involves
exclusively women's services. In our state, 31% of coded hospital discharges falls in the
category of women's services (pregnancy and childbirth (14%), newborns and neonates
(13%), or female reproductive system (4%)). Included in these diagnoses are dramatic
human miseries mentioned above, some of which are totally avoidable with a focus on
preventative care. Those diagnoses that are not preventable will continue as long as
Americans procreate, and I submit that public opinion will politically drive continued access
for pregnancy related services.
The greatest reward of the new health care refonn would be to focus on prepregnancy care
and prevention rather than just pregnancy therapeutics. Preconceptual programs that
�Health Care Refonn
-4-
February 28, 1994
allow for parenting skills, prevention of diabetes, prevention of congenital anomalies (such
as neural tube defect by supplying folic acid in the diet), are currently nonreimbursable and
difficult to implement. However, we have worked through private donations to make these
programs available on a larger basis. Your health care reform task team needs to be aware
that the incidence of congenital anomalies may be as high as 7-9 percent depending upon
the severity of the definition of anomaly.
To not include an epidemiologic impact
assessment of congenital anomalies into any prepaid program will lead to an extreme,
unanticipated drain on reimbursement pools.
I am interested in being a resource to your representatives for any that would be helpful
in understanding the needs in our region. I will be in Washington, D.C. as a representative
to the American College of OB/GYN legislative workshop on March 21st through 23rd,
1994. I would be extremely humbled and privileged to meet with yourself or any liaison,
aide, or representative of the health plan team that may have an interest in the above items
or an interest in understanding the needs of rural Oregon pregnancies.
As I have read the health plan proposal, I also see that there will be a mechanism of local
systems to submit for Federal grants that provide preventative services, increased access,
and improved quality and efficiency of health care in rural markets. The needs of my
patients are great; the structure and intent of our programs are pure. I would deeply
appreciate the opportunity to talk with (or review literature regarding) the structure and
intent of these grant programs, or at least make an impassioned plea to look at equal
funding of programs distant from metropolitan areas.
I appreciate your time in reading this letter. We have worked hard to create programs that
enhance medical healing, family healing, and social healing. Our programs help avoid
spousal abuse, child abuse, congenital anomalies, high risk pregnancies, and adverse
outcomes. I would like our senators and representatives to get credit for the trend setting
work occurring in our State. I would be happy to be an advocate in the future direction
�Health Care Reform
of epidemiologic based health care.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
Last week you were kind enough to schedule a photo opportunity with my
husband, Alan Siger, and others from United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Association while celebrating June as Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month.
At this meeting, my husband shared with you my business card and explained
to you the mission of Family House, a home awayfromhome for people who
must travel to Pittsburgh for treatment of life-threatening or serious illness.
For the last 11 years, Family House has been an agency dedicated to the
care and nurturing ofpatients and families in an out-of-hospital setting, with
a significant emphasis on reduced cost and increased quality of life.
I've enclosed detailed information about our current programs and draft
copies of a new and innovative model of care called "hospitel," which is a
collaborative effort between Family House, the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center (UPMC), and Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania.
It would be our pleasure to welcome you or someonefromyour staff to
Family House in the near future. I'm sure you wouldfindus an exciting
example of an alternative health care model.
Sincerely,

Dear P r e s i d e n t C l i n t o n ,
My wife and I have been following with great i n t e r e s t your
proposed h e a l t h plan. I agree we need something for those not
fortunate enough to have coverage, and applaud your e f f o r t s , but
we f e e l those of us who do should be l e f t alone. My reasons for
t h i s statement are many and center around our Grandson, for whom
we are l e g a l guardians.
Sean, our grandson., has Spinal, H»s"JU.3jaj^,Atrophy, and has been in
a whee^c_hair_the past s i x y e a r s . I t appears tfi"a£~"y6ur proposed
plan f a i l s to cover p h y s i c a l therapy, occupational therapy,
speech and language therapy, counseling, psychotherapy and
r e s p i r a t o r y therapy for "chronic" i l l n e s s e s .
The plan a l s o doesn't cover "durable medical equipment."
S p e c i f i c equipment ( w h e e l c h a i r s , s e a t i n g systems, other m o b i l i t y
a i d s ) w i l l be covered only when such equipment i s deemed
"medically necessary." T h i s may exclude equipment that helps
those persons become more independent— i . e . , equipment that
helps them use technology, attend school, or get to work. I t
a l s o appears that s o - c a l l e d "customized equipment," designed to
meet s p e c i f i c needs, may not be covered.
Mr. P r e s i d e n t I'd ask you to spend one week in a wheelchair, and
not use your legs and arms. Evaluate for y o u r s e l f j u s t how i t i s
for those l e s s fortunate, those who are "chronic" simply because
DNA d e a l t them a bad hand. There are many things a person in a
wheelchair needs that i s n ' t covered by any medical plan. We even
have Medicaid for Sean, and there are many items they f a i l to
cover, you have to beg for those things they do "give" you.
The other good thing about being d i s a b l e d , P h y s i c a l l y Challenged,
i s how the p r i c e of an item can quadruple.
What have, or what
do, you intend to do in t h i s area of near c r i m i n a l a c t i v i t y .
Giving everyone insurance w i l l not address outrageous equipment
p r i c e s for the P h y s i c a l l y Challenged person.
I f you'd l i k e examples, you and Mrs. C l i n t o n have an i n v i t a t i o n
to our home anytime.
We'll be happy to d i s c u s s these and other
i s s u e s with you. We a l s o i n v i t e you to the 1994 New Hampshire
Conference on D i s a b i l i t i e s t h i s May 23 and 24. Spend some time
with us and see f i r s t hand what a DNA mistake can do to a person.
�Fortunately Sean i s a w e l l - a d j u s t e d 11 year old. He has been an
MDA Ambassador (Poster c h i l d ) f o r the past two years. He's also
an honor student, s i x t h gjjade - i member of the chess club, p l a y s
drum i n the band. Sounds p r e t t y much l i k e a normal k i d doesn't
he? The requirements, non-medical, to keep him going are many,
and r e q u i r e much expense to keep up. We're t a l k i n g $1000 and up
for most anything he r e q u i r e s .
r
Sean f e l l out of h i s wheelchair May of 1992 and required massive
surgery, and there was no way they could r e p a i r h i s hip, not
enough bone. So they removed the top of the femur at the break
point and l e f t him with a permanent broken hip. T h i s past
February he had surgery to fuse h i s lower spine i n s e r t e d rods i n
the upper spine. He no longer can bend over i n a normal fashion.
The only way to t r a n s f e r him from bed to c h a i r , or anywhere from
the c h a i r i s with the a i d of a hoyer l i f t , another multi-thousand
d o l l a r item. He can never f l y i n an a i r p l a n e again due to the
r e s t r i c t i o n s on l i f t i n g .
His f i r s t and only f l i g h t was to
Orlando and Disney World compliments of the "Make a Wish
Foundation" and "Give Kids the World" l a s t J u l y .
I've s a i d a l l t h i s to say to you, please include in your medical
b i l l those things that P h y s i c a l l y Challenged people need to make
l i f e e a s i e r and bearable. L e t them l i v e with d i g n i t y and honor,
not shame, i t ' s t h e i r inherent r i g h t , and we don't need the ADA
to t e l l us that.

at Eastern Kentucky Univeraity in Richmond, Kentucky, open to the general
puMirAa fh© l e g i s l a t i v e dli-aetor for tha nursing atudenta at Eastern
Kentucky Umveruity, I have talked with many people, both students and the
pub Lie
regarding the universal health care system that President Clinton le
prcpofli^g in tho Health seeurity Plan. I have noticed that a majority of the
responn** fall into three distinct groups, two Opposing and one supporting.
Thf> f i r m yiL-up opposes th© plan because they feel thie w i l l give •more" to
the people on welfare. The opposition of the second group i s based on the
t iv*t »hi« wHl "r»L«« taxes and lower the Quality of health care"
currently in place now. The third group, which 1 f a l l in, favors a change
becnusH we b*'. i < v in the Intrinsic need for a universal health care system,
.»e
mrJ fltnnrf i « i < the idea. Nobody in any of these groups seems to completely
.hn5
understand what le being proposed. They a l l have unanswered questions.
roiieqe of Allied Health and Nursing, which has both a two and a
foni- y^Ar
tntored nursing prngrAm, i s the largest provider of registered
nur:ies tr. ths state of Kentucky and offers the only occupational therapy
prn<;r»r .nth* Htate. Tn order for health care students to prepare for our
futureu we need to know how this ia going to affect us. In order for future
health rare providers to fully support and implement your plan, we need to
Lhuruucihly understand i t . in order for the general public and current health

Dear Peter:
Thanks uery much for including m in that uery interesting
e
group of people uho gathered at the Asia Society on the Eue of
the Memorial Day Holiday.
I can imagine that at this late date the last thing you must
uant to hear is another uonk's point of uieu on health care; but,
as an enthusiastic supporters of the President's proposal, I haue
tried the follouing adjustments out on quite a number of
knouledgeable folks and I think they grab the initiatiue in
appealing to employment and the anti-bureaucracy biases uhich are
abroad in the land. So, uith your indulgence, I uenture forth:
. fHPSE O T U R E S C M E S T O Basically, I think you
U QKR OPMAIH
u i l l be able to phase out Uorker's Compensation, an annoying
payroll tax, as you phase in employer mandates. If the employer
has a high quality medical insurance program, i t should not haue
to insure uorker's compensation, as uell. I t is true that lost
uages are also couered by the existing tax, but they pale in
comparison to medical care. Lost uages could be transferred to
Unemp1oyment Insurance.
. R D C B R A C A Y In order to reduce the ire of the
EUE UEURC
bureaucrats and others uho depend on Uorkers Compensation for a
liuing, the neu health care bureaucrats could be recruited from
their ranks. They are organized in euery State, paid relatiuely
l i t t l e and the best of them are sophisticated in looking
skeptically at medical b i l l s uith broad expertise in most medical
problems and cures. If this uere done, the neu program uould be
a reduction, not an increase in gouernmental bureaucracy.
. P E I M R D C I M You could greatly reduce the cost of
RMU EUTOS
insurance by remouing a non-insurance aspect of the program —
Page 1 of 2
�Afiy HERZ JUUILER 36 Leroy Street Neu Vork, M 100HM
V
Thu Jun 30 1994
mandated couerage for a general checkup euery 24 months. Since
euery Insured person uill receiue such a checkup, the premiums
for each u i l l include at least that much, so there is no reason
to be insured for the ineuitable. But the elimination of that
item should reduce each family's premiums by seueral hundred
dollars.
. EMPLOVEE MflMDflTES I knou that preuentatiue medicine is a
major objectiue of the program, but concomitant uith employer
mandates, the employee should be required to pay for a checkup
for each member of the family euery tuo years. If greater
periodicity is required because of age or illness, that uould be
couered by insurance. The uay to enforce the prouision is for
the insurance company to add an employee premium for any employee
uho fails to haue a biannual checkup or uho fails to giue the
name of the primary health prouider for each member of the
insured's family. The retention of a primary prouider
automatically prouides a check on unnecessary procedures,
irrespectiue of the organizational status of the prouider, since
the specialists uill knou that another professional is uatching.
. SPOUSAL COUERflGE If the expense is s t i l l too great, the
employee could be required to pay a higher percentage for a
spouse. Most spouses could be independently couered artyuay and
this uill encourage each spouse to be couered by his or her oun
employer, reducing the premiums for family policies.
. CHILD COUERflGE The Gouernment could pay a percentage for
each child couered by the employer's plan. This is far cheaper .
than the kind of payments uhich Senator Moynihan has archly
suggested. It uould directly reflect gouernment concern for good
medical care in early life. Since at least half of American
children are eligible for Medicaid and the large majority for
Gouernment subsidy in the non-employer-mandate plans, this uould
be administratiuely simple and a relief for employers,
particularly those uho employ parents of dependent children.
. ESCHEU PAVROLL TAXES I haue neuer liked a payroll tax as
an alternatiue to employer plans, because it discourages job
creation. I think the tax should be on profits or gross
receipts.
If any of these thoughts are useful, I uould be glad to do
some additional research. Thanks for listening. I look forward
to seeing you in the f a l l . Go Vanks?
Sincerely,
AMY HER2 JUUILER

Awareness Week, September 18-25, 1994.
All three—Melissa, Marisa, and Larry—suffer from dystonia, the
neurological movement disorder which, unfortunately, is estimated to
be six times more prevalent than the better known disorder of muscular
dystrophy.
Melissa Centrella is the first dystonia patient to have a pump implanted
in her abdomen so that the medication of baclofen is regulated (shown
here at a fund-raising event in New Jersey); we almost "lost" Marisa
DeGray this past year, just after she served as a poster child; and Larry
Bienstock, also affected with generalized dystonia—now in his
thirties—had worked tirelessly toward the passage of the Americans
with Disabilities Act and is now one of our Awareness leaders.
These three are representative of the estimated 250,000 dystonia
persons in this country, with over 90 percent misdiagnosed. Mike
Connors, former star of Mannix, heads "Operation Missing Persons" to
find those persons not diagnosed or misdiagnosed; and we would want
Mike Connors, as our 1994 spokesperson, to be present for the photo
session.
Thank you for your leadership and commitment to improving the
health conditions of all Americans, including those affected by a
chronic illness such as dystonia. We are extremely grateful.
Sincerely,
Dennis Kessler, President

President & Mrs. William Clinton
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President & Mrs. Clintonj
I am a photo journalist in the city of St. Louis and have a press pass to
photograph the White House the last week of June.
1 would like very much to meec with both of you in regard to your Health
Care Plan.
Dr. Paul Packman, 1034 South Brentwood Blvd., St. Louis, M 63117, and I
O
are both very Interested and supportive of your Health Care Plan. He suggested
to me that I present information regarding the health care I received to
you. I vas in a tragic car accident in 1975 when I was eleven years old
and vas in intensive care for several weeks due to a massive head injury.
There are several metal plates and pins in my head. I received excellent
health care and am now involved with speaking at seminars to children who
have also suffered from tragic head injuries.
The information that I would like to present to you i s my medical records
showing in detail the excellent health care that I received. I support your
plan and feel that I have information that would be beneficial to you, and
would be. more Chan happy to provide you with this information.
I will be in Washington from 26 June through 1 July. I would appreciate
i t i f you could find time in your busy schedules to meet with me. I believe
your new Health Care Plan is excellent and would like to share some information
with you. The children of Sc. Louis who have suffered massive head injuries,
along with their parents, are most grateful to you for your concern dealing
with the most crucial issue of Health Care.
Please let me know i f a meeting would be possible.
772-7071. Thank you for your concern.
I can be reached at (314)

Ronald Helms Benefit Fund Golf Tournament
July 8, 1994
Twin Shields Golf Course, Dunkirk, Md.
1200 Tee Off Time
Biography: Ronald Helms, a former member of the 756th Airlift Squadron, is diagnosed with
Follicular Lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph system. In Oct. 93, Ron left our unit to care for his
father, who was recovering after a lengthy hospital stay. He sold his home, moved his wife and 2
daughters, and was forced to close his private investigator business. He was diagnosed with this
type of cancer 4 days prior to their families health insurance taking effect. Ronald Helms, a friend
to all who have met him, is in need of up to $100,000 to get the treatment he needs to live.
The members of the 459th Airlift Wing and the 756th Airlift Squadron at Andrews AFB,
Md. and the members of the 700th Airlift Squadron at Dobbins AFB, Ga. (his present AF Reserve
unit are trying desperately to raise money to help Ron and his family meet the colossal medical
bills he has incurred to date. The medication he must take costs approximately $4,500 per week
alone Since 15 Mar 94, we have raised approximately $8,000. This is just a small dent in the
total bills Ron has incinred to date. The proceeds of this tournament will go directly to Ron and
his family to pay his medical expenses.
We are presently seeking hole sponsors at $50 each, and any contributions we can get for
items that can be raffled, etc., will be greatly appreciated.
For more information, please contact Maj Dave Garofalo or Maj Maryann Miller at 301-981-5596.
A fund is presently set up at the Andrews Federal Credit Union.

War II, its B-24 bombers flew from Giulia Field, Cerignola, Italy and earned a Distinguished Unit
Citation for the near perfect bombing and destruction of an aircraft factory located near Bad Voslau.
Austria on April 23,1944. The 756th Bombardment Squadron was inactivated on August 28,1945.
On June i , 1954, the squadron was activated in the Air Force Reserve and designated as the 756th
Troop Carrier Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. The first aircraft assigned to the
squadron was the C-46 "Commando", followed by the C-l 19 "Flying Boxcar". On July 1,1966 the
squadron converted to the C-l24 "Globemaster." In 1971, the 756th converted to the C-130 "Hercules"
and was redesignated as the 756th Tactical Airlift Squadron. The 756th converted to its present
aircraft, the C-l 41B "Starlifter", in July 1986 and assumed the role of the strategic airlift mission as the
756th Military Airlift Squadron. On February 1,1992, the 756th once again was redesignated to the
756th Airlift Squadron.
When called upon, the 756th has responded to a variety of the military's worldwide humanitarian
missions. In March 1988, a 756th aircraft, carrying personnel of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division
from Fort Bragg, N.C., was the first into Honduras during Operation Golden Pheasant. Later that year,
the squadron flew relief missions into Armenia, Soviet Union following the devastating earthquake. In
1989,756th crews provided assistance to the Virgin Islands and South Carolina after Hurricane Hugo.
In late 1989, the squadron flew 11 missions in Panama during Operation Just Cause. On August 24,
1990, the 756th was called to active duty to support Operation Desert Shield/Storm. The 756th flew
2,605 sorties, 13,153 flight hours, 22,597 tons of cargo, and airlifted 16,531 troops in support of the
hostilities in the Gulf. More recently, the squadron flew supplies to the victims of Hurricane Andrew in
Florida. In support of Project Hope, the 756th airlifted medical equipment and supplies to Minsk,
Belarus, in the former Soviet Union, To date, the 756th Airlift Squadron is continuing to fly numerous
missions in support of Operation Restore Hope, Mogadishu. Somalia and the Southwest Asia Area of
Responsibility (AOR).

Dear President and Mre. Clinton,
Ronald Helms is in the fight of his life. He is critically ill with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. As you
read this. Ron is in a Boston hospital undergoing a bone marrow harvest. Tragically, he's not only
fighting cancer, but also a badly broken health insurance system that places business interests above
patient care. Ron's situation is a perfect example of why you are deeply committed to reforming the
nation's health care system.
Ron is 38 years old, married to Karen, and they have two children, Paula, 4, and Laura, 21 months.
He is presently a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force Reserve and a former aircrew
member of the 756th Airlift Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base. He transferred to Dobbins Air
Force Base, GA in 1993 in order to care for an ill parent.
Ron visited a doctor on December 23, 1993 for a bad cold and a lump under his left arm. On a follow
up visit on December 28, the doctor thought he had a chronic infection. Unfortunately, on January
12, 1994, Ron was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. As a reservist, Ron's limited medical
benefits will not cover the chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant that is necessary for his
survival. Ron's wife, Karen, has medical insurance that became effective on January 1, 1994 just
eight days after his first visit to the doctor. The insurance company classified his cancer as a
pre-existing condition and will not cover hie medical costs.
The Helms family has done their best to finance the high cost of treatment. Unfortunately, Ron has
had to quit his civilian and reserve jobs due to the illness. By selling off their assets, the family has
only raised $36,000. This will not be enough. The medical bills will be well in excess of $100,000 and
the Helms family still desperately needs financial support. To make matters worse, Laura, their 21
month old daughter, has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Again, their health insurance has done
little to offset the avalanche of medical bills.
The 756th Airlift Squadron, the 700th Airlift Squadron at Dobbins Air Force Base, and local church
organizations have raised over $40,000 in Ron's behalf. We have more fund raising activities
planned; a golf tournament is scheduled for July 8 at Twin Shields Golf Course, Dunkirk MD, and
we have a larger tournament scheduled for October 3 at the Andrews Air Force Base Golf Course.
We are aware that you are leading the nation to effective health care reform and would be honored if
you could attend one of our golf tournaments. We intend to help a comrade-in-arms and believe this
is an excellent way to highlight the urgent need for health care reform. Ron Helms is an outstanding
American caught up in a health insurance nightmare. We want to ensure that no other family has to
endure the tragedy that has become the Helms family's reality.
I am a Major in the United States Air Force Reserve, a member ofthe 756th Airlift Squadron and the
chairman of fund raising for Ron Helms. I sincerely hope that you will be able to assist us in our
efforts to help the Helms family. Please call me at (301)-981-5596/5582 if I can be of any service to
you.
Sincerely,
David A. Garofalo

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I had the pleasure of meeting Chairman David Wilhelm at Jackson Day "94 in
Springfield, Mo. this April. He suggested I send you this letter. 1 have sent him a letter
and spoken to his office several times.
As a founding member of the 'Hillary Clinton Women's Democratic Club", I have
worked hard for the past several years to stimulate Democratic activity and
involvement in Southwest Missouri. As I understand we are the only Women's
Democratic ciub to bear your name. Everyone involved and many community leaders
are very proud of that fact. Our club would like to sponsor and host a visit to Joplin for
you.
A visit couid be organized as a health-care forum, this would be appropriate as our city
is the referral medical center for the four state corners of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas
and Oklahoma, serving approximately one hundred thousand people. The proximity of
Joplin would be convenient for all types of travel plans. Joplin is easily accessible
whether going cross country or from a passing visit to Arkansas.
The visit could be planned to celebrate the founding of the Club, or the Second annual
Hillary Clinton Birthday Party planned for October 22, or purely a political stop.
It would be a high honor to have the country's only Hillary Clinton Women's
Democratic Club host the First Lady of the United States. Please contact me regarding
this matter as soon as possible. I am submitting a copy of this letter to David Wilhelm,
Chairman Democratic National Committee, who has been very supportive of our
efforts.

�FACT SHEET
Background:
At Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, we care for kids—more than 170,000 kids every year! We see kids
from birth to age 18—including babies who are born weighing only two or three pounds, children with cancer,
teenagers critically injured in accidents, children who need heart or liver or kidney transplants, plus kids with
broken arms or pneumonia and many more.
The hospital is a 190-bed pediatric facility which treats children who come from throughout Missouri and
southern Illinois. Annually, there are more than 8,000 inpatient admissions and 135,000 outpatient visits (including 57,000 emergency room visits).
To meet the special needs of children, Cardinal Glennon:
• pioneered the use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) tor neonates and older
children, and has cared for more than 400 children utilizing this life-saving procedure;
• established the Regional Poison Center to serve Missouri as well as portions of Arkansas,
Illinois and Kansas. More than 84,000 telephone calls for information about poisons or involving
suspected accidental poisonings were received at the Center last year;
• was designated as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center with ground and helicopter transport
services and pediatric subspecialists who are immediately available to ensure Glennon's trauma
center a survival rate higher than the national average;
• staffs the Pediatric Research Institute to engage in biomedical research;
• provides the only pediatric inpatient rehabilitation facility located within an acute care hospital
anywhere in the Midwest;
• serves as a teaching hospital affiliated with Saint Louis University School of Medicine, plus
nine other educational institutions, to provide training for the physicians and nurses who will
care for children in the future;
• delivers state-of-the-art care for pediatric patients requiring transplants including heart,
liver, kidney, and bone marrow transplants and, beginning in the fall, lung and heart-lung
transplants;
• offers one of the few exclusively pediatric sleep disorders programs in the nation, where
neurologists diagnose and treat infants and children with problems such as infant apnea,
near-miss Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, night terrors, narcolepsy and more;
• develops partnerships in the community to better meet the needs of its children through
advocacy and safety programs.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

in Spain appalled him,
"Tn Spain on die Costa Brava the
people really were like Martians in die
extremes of their vulgarity," he recalls. "And these very people were so
very self-confidcntly looking down at
Americans as far beneath them. There
would be amazing caricatures of Reagan with bombs and who knows w hat
on the nighdy news. I was worked up
almost all the time,"
In making liis first film, Mctmpditan, wliich was released in 1990, Stillman had to scrape hard to find the
money. He made the fdm on an absolute shoestring; $225,000, some of ir
coming from the sale of a modest
New York apartment, some in $5,000
and S10,000 increments from his
Harvard roommate, his mother and

Dear Mr. Ickes:
On behalf of the National Employee Benefits Institute
(NEBI), I invite you to address our members and guests at NEBI's
upcoming legislative conference, "Reacting to Reform," to be held
September 29-30, 1994. The meeting will take place in Washington,
D.C, at the ANA Hotel located at 2401 M Street, N.W. As a member of
the Clinton Administration, we would be interested to hear your
comments on the negotiations over health care reform legislation and an
analysis of what provisions may pass.
NEBI is a non-profit organization which represents
Fortune 1,000-size companies on key legislative and regulatory issues
which impact employee benefit plans. NEBI promotes the interests of
its members by analyzing and developing positions on legislative and
regulatory developments related to health plans, pension plans, and
other benefit issues. A NEBI brochure is enclosed for your reference.
NEBI members sponsor employee benefit plans for
employees located throughout the entire nation, in some cases, in all
fifty states. These plans represent uniform benefits coverage for
millions of American workers. NEBI members are committed to
providing quality health and pension benefits for the employees of
America's largest corporations.
NEBI holds legislative meetings to provide a forum for
members and guests to hear and participate in discussions on the most
important issues of the day. You will be speaking to a group of CEOs,
CFOs, benefits managers, plan sponsors, corporate policy makers, and
�others interested in legislative and regulatory developments. By meeting with our
members, you will have the opportunity to help the group understand the problems
and alternatives we face in solving challenges to the employee benefits system.
NEBI has an excellent reputation in holding outstanding meetings.
Recent speakers include: Senators Dave Durenberger, James Jeffords and Don
Nickles and Representatives Dan Rostenkowski, Bill Archer, Marge Roukema,
Nancy Johnson, Jim Cooper, and Jim McDermott. Other recent speakers include
Olena Berg, Assistant Secretary for Labor, Pension and Welfare Benefits
Administration; J. Carter Beese, Commissioner, SEC; Linda Bergthold, White
House Task Force on Health Care Reform; and Ken Thorpe, Deputy Assistant
Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.
I hope that you will be able to join us on September 29 or 30. I
would be glad to adjust the meeting agenda to fit your schedule and will work with
you to develop a specific topic. I will contact you in the next week to check on
your availability. In the meantime, feel free to contact me at (202) 737-9656.
Sincerely,
Laura L. Tomarchio,
Director of Legislation

Dear v!; jry:
It wa:; 'Hfitfi :.jirej.;:;iit surprise iKjt I lea. mid this morning that we had been "bumped"
from Hi'-! East Ream at the Msiyfiover for the Tuesday, September 13 segment
of our Fiimiiiry Care Confomnoe. I was even more surprised to learn that
Presiililint Clinton was the Eaiu Ho« irr speaker who did the bumping.
First !iii! nr>{5 say t':ai: Physician Strat^^ies is pleased to relinquish the room to the
President Peihaps, Mr ( .'li lion * ;jcfisence across the hall will even represent
an opportunity for him to tot ch basii with 300-400 ofthe nation's healthcare
lead'cm who will
attending ihe symposium. The audience will include
phy&ioii-ins -and hospital adriHtistra-.ers who carry a good deal of weight in their
local oomfnunities. I'm certain Mr. Ol iton's charisma would favorably influence
their faalincs tc^a/d the prcp<:'sed healthcare legislation.
As you know, tho audience tot the program has also expanded well beyond the
antk:ip;!i1ed 400 £ ittendees. Just a ter my original request was sent to you,
Physb an StorQijies 200C
app cached by Lambert Communications, a
major rational provider of iredical education, with the request that they be
permilled "c: tokvise portions of tho cinference live via satellite to their more
than ?{)0 sJiilitite hospitals. Accorc.ing to Lambert, this network represents 20%
of the natlon's. non-govenur ent lio ?pitals, with locations in 48 states.
Cles.r'>, Mr, Clinton's pres ei tcu (to • id dress the group or to simply greet them)
wou d .::on-ie at a i importenl time ir the course of rallying support in the battle to
pas® rii!«ali;hcare egislatiori dLiingihe next session. Because we share the
'interest of l i e administrat on in heathcare reform which will produce increaped
aces!:;:; and redused cost fo all sej.jrr ents of the public, we are offering this very
select ri run to Mr. Clinton.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
As the nation's leading advocate for health care reform, I would like to
invite you to attend a special health care forum I will be hosting during the first
week of the August Recess in my 17th Congressional District of Ohio.
The forum wili be held on THURSDAY, AUGUST 18TH A T 1 0 : 0 0 A . M . AT
THE PARK HOTEL, 136 NORTH PARK AVENUE IN WARREN. The forum will be
broadcast live by WRRO Radio.
Should your schedule not allow for your personal attendance, a staffer or
official well-versed in health care reform legislation would be an acceptable and
appreciated alternative.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I would deeply appreciate your
contacting Kimberly Harris of my Washington office with your reply no later than
August 1 1 , 1994. I look forward to your response.
Respec/ully,
Jafhes A. Traficaht, Jr.

Dear Pat
As the health fight continues, I'd like to ask your help for a Health Refonn
Conference in Alameda County.
Enclosed is a proposal from the largest newspaper chain in Alameda County,
which promises a special 200,000 copy edition on health care and the
sponsorship, along with various business groups, of a televised forum on
health reform.
I think this would be an excellent chance to spread the message for strong
reform during what is likely to be the Conference Committee period. If the
President or First Lady or Secretary Shalala are planning any September trips
to the West Coast, would it be possible to include ttiis in their schedule.
We are still completely flexible on dates, and so it could fit into whatever trip
they may have under consideration.
Thank you for your help in seeing what is possible.

Dear Mr. President:
On Monday, September 12, 1994, the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions will break ground for a new
cancer center. This new $130 million state-of-the-art facility will make advanced cancer care available
to more people in the region and help accelerate the developmem of new treatments. Johns Hopkins
is one of 27 centers in the country and the only center in Maryland designated by the National Cancer
Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. And, as you know, Johns Hopkins Hospital was recently
ranked once again as the best hospital in the country by U.S. News <& World Report.
We would be honored if you would serve as the keynote speaker for our groundbreaking ceremony.
You recently have experienced the pain of losing your mother to cancer and understand the challenges
of coping with cancer as well as the importance of continued medical research. We also recognize that
you and Mrs. Clinton arc addressing the high cost of cancer treatment in your current health care
reform effort. The Hopkins community would welcome your personal message as we break new
ground in thefightagainst cancer.
The groundbreaking ceremony will take place at 3:00 pjn. and last approximately 45 minutes. A
reception in the new Johns Hopkins Subway Station will immediatelyfollowthe ceremony. The event
is open to the public, although we expect primarily Hopkins staff and trustees to attend. We also
anticipate Maryland's elected officials will attend because September 12 is the day before our primary
elections.
Mr. President, we hope your schedule permits you and Mrs. CUnton to join us for this important
ceremony.
Sincerely,
Michael M.E. Johns, M.D.

reform during what is likely to be the Conference Committee period. If the
President or First Lady or Secretary Shalala are planning any September trips
to the West Coast, would it be possible to include this in their schedule.
We are still completely flexible on dates, and so it could fit into whatever trip
they may have under consideration.
Thank you for your help in seeing what is possible.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On behalf of the National Association of Community Health Centers, I am pleased
to extend you a cordial invitation to address our 25th Annual Community Health Institute,
September 25 - 28, 1994 at the Fontainebleau Hilton in Miami Beach, Florida.
With heath care in transition, this Institute promises one of the largest gatherings
of our NACHC family. It will assemble over 2000 frontline community health providers.
They are the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, dentists, and many other health
professionals who are part of America's proud health center network.
Today, community, migrant and homeless health centers provide basic health
services to eight million of America's poor and medically underserved. Our health centers
are located in all fifty states, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and
the Virgin Islands. Their innovative and cost-effective programs in primary care,
prevention and outreach stand as models - challenging this nation to do more to improve
public health and give all Americans a fighting chance for health and productive lives.
In the battle for health reform, NACHC and its membership have stood solidly
behind the President. Together and in coalition with others, we have worked to build and
sustain a groundswell of public support for universal coverage and comprehensive health
reform. Serving in the nation's most devastated and poverty-stricken communities, we see
daily the enormity of unmet health needs and their costs to this nation. And - better than
most -- we know that these compelling needs demand more than piecemeal solutions to meet
the crisis in health care.

We hope that you will be able to join us in September. Here at NACHC, all of us
have valued the positive impact of your strong voice in the health care debate. Your
impassioned plea urging this nation to do "what is right" in heath care - has resonated
throughout our community health center network.
Particularly, now when powerful interests are waging an unrelenting campaign to
undercut universal coverage in the public mind, we believe NACHC's Institute provides an
opportune time for you to publicly recognize the men and women - who have devoted their
careers to responding to that plea. It is the tremendous work and pioneering programs of
these committed providers that continue to show this nation that investment in prevention
and wellness works that high-risk and vulnerable populations can be served that
breaking the barriers to health care can reap savings and build stronger and healthier
communities. We would like to think that by putting a "face" on these providers and
focusing attention on health centers and their many accomplishments serving communities
in need -• which only yon can do - more Americans will heed the message that health care
is a "shared responsibility" of all citi2ens.
We look forward to hearing from you. I know that NACHC's membership especially
would welcome this occasion to express our gratitude to you for your strong efforts in
moving this country toward health reform.
Needless to say, we would be willing to make all necessary arrangements and
adjustments in our agenda to accommodate your appearance, at any point, during the four
full working days of our Institute, which begins Sunday, September 25, and ends
Wednesday, September 28. However, your appearance at the opening of our general
session on Monday, September 26th, between 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m., would have significant
impact. We, obviously, would highlight your presentation as the major keynote address.
We await your response. Please feel free to have your staff contact me directly with
any questions.
Sincerely,
fbhn M. Silva

Dear Marilyn:
The attached is a letter of invitation to Mrs. Clinton inviting her to be the keynote
speaker at NACHC's 25th Annual Community Health Institute, September 25 - 28,1994 in
Miami, Florida.
This promises to be one of the largest gatherings in NACHC history - which will
assemble 2000 and more of our frontline community health providers from across the
nation.
This forum provides an opportune time for Mrs. Clinton to address these committed
health care providers who have decades have been doing "what'srigid"in hcalih caie. Tlie
First Lady could focus national attention on health center programs and federal
investments that work - that accomplishment enormous good in communities in need
that prove this nation can do more to achieve health care for all Americans. Much of this
has been lost in the debate on health reform - and I would like to think that raising it now
could serve to undercut much of the false information generated by entrenched interests,
who are feeding fears that overwhelming health needs of the poor defy solution - and that
universal converge would bankrupt the nation.
Your help in getting this invitation to Mrs. Clinton for consideration would be very
much appreciated. It's time we let Americans know that in moving toward change we are
also building on programs that work - and that encourage public/private partnerships for
stronger and healthier communities.

I might mention that we have invited Mrs. Clinton to address our conferences several
times in the past. We value her role in the health care debate - and NACHC's
membership would very much like to take this occasion to express our personal gratitude
for her outstanding contributions.

�I r e a l l y do question] Gary, what we c-re dcing w i t h this:! Columbia
I n s t i t u t e a t t h i s time i n the debate. Do members r e i l l y want
these type o f meetincfs or i s CI goiiuc a f t e r them?
I d i d not r e a l i s e th^se forums were funded by the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation.
The various o r g a n i z a t i o n t h a t sponsored thi!?: event, i f they had
people there they d i d not speak up. Congressman Cl'SPirjnt and I
found ourselves defending the c o n s t i t u t i o n with t h i handpicked
o p p o s i t i o n crowd who«« only goal i s co tfiiar down govfSrnmer.it and
r i d i c u l e the President.
The segment of audience who came t o hear about health care reform
l e g i s l a t i o n go home comparing apples and ort-.nges w i t h a healthy
dose o f u n t r u t h s repeated over and over u n t i l , t.&:dug Senator
M i t c h e l l ' s example , the desk almost liecoir.es t h a t ho:t:s;e
Like the bus t r i p s , tphe game i s a f:::ct: with those we:.'l organized

Ms. Patti Solis
Special Assistant to the President

Washington, D C.
Dear Ms. Solis:
Thank you so much for your letter of July 28, 1994 regarding the possibility of the First Lady
addiEssing-a^pxip-o£abou^50©-<x>mmum
Luncheon on Thursday, October 20, 1994. I wanted to let you know we are certainly flexible
on the date and could~adjust it to fit her schedule. It would be an honor for us to welcome her,
whatever the day.
Just to jog your memory, Ceniknr is nne nf \\\e. country's largest, non-profit, .drug treatmenteducation and prevention organizations. There are currently about 400 indigent men and women
in long-term residential treatment tor substance abuse at Cenikor. The clients come from all over
the country and are all races, creeds and socio-economic backgrounds. Cenikor takes no
government money so it doesn't add to the deficit. We are self supporting through the generosity
of the community and the work of the clients.
The approximately 500 community, business and media leaders who will be attending the
luncheon have been supporters of Cenikor, some for the entire 27 years we have been in
existence. We think it would be an excellent forum for you to talk on health care or any other
topic you might wish to address.
We appreciate your considering this luncheon as a possibility for the First Lady. Once again, if
another date is possible, please let us know and we will happily adjust our plans.
Thank you for your assistance.
Cordially,

Dear Mrs Clinton
Today in the OmAfra World Herald I again read the plea from yourself to notify Congress
and the Senate of ouriineed for your package on health care reform. This article left me
feeling compelled to write your office again. I wrote on May 15, 1994 with a two-fold
request for information and a speaker on health care reform for our next Sidney..lowaChamber of Commerce meeting. It was our hope you could be our speaker, however, we
acknowledged in our letter bur realization of this being highly unlikely. What bothers me
is that in this request for your office to get your message out I instead received a polite but
rather non informative letter Thanking our organization for this request. No one was
suggested as an alternative speaker, no additional information was senLnor-..was.an.addr.essorjaffice suggested to contact in q^der to receive more information on the issue to share
with oux Chamber members I'm ^bot necessarily writing this letter to express anger,
however, I feel we gave your offi^e a direct opportunity to push your agenda and no effort
to do so was taken. I would ask that if such information is available please inform me of
such to share with our members. Thank You and Your staff for consideration of my
letter

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Health industry lobbyists are spending tern of millions of dollars to delay health reform. By speaking
out, you can put consumers back in the driver's seat of the health reform debate. Reform will become a
reality if people like you let Congress know: You'U stand behind them if they stand up to the health
industry lobbyists—and stand up for health nsform.
Personal letters are mijch more effective than postcards because they take more time to compose. You
should write 3 letters: one to your Representative, and one to each of your two Senators. If possible, put
your letter on Health Security Ejipress letterhead, because letters carry even more weight when they're

Here is the current schedule for Bob Van Hook's route. I included Saturday evening so he
could see the hotel arrangements (however, you or he need to make a reservation).
On Sunday morning, the bus departs out of Boise, Idaho at 8:00 am. There will not be an
event in Boise. This route has three buses filled with supportive group representatives, labor
folks, ordinary individuals who have been hurt by the current system, providers, etc. At
10:30 am, the bus will pick up local media from Twin Falls and then ride into Twin Falls.
At the 11:00 am arrival in Twin Falls, there will be supporters to greet the bus. Bob Van
Hook will be speaking at the Lunch Twin Falls Event. The buses will depart Twin Falls at
1:00 pm and do a media pick up of local Salt Lake City media at 6:00 pm. The Health
Security Express rolls into Salt Lake City at 6:30 pm and will be greeted by supporters.
There is a dinner that night at the hotel where Bob Van Hook will have the opportunity to
speak. The dinner should conclude at approximately 7:30 pm or 8:00 pm.
The desk contact is Nicole Vanderberg at 206-625-6939 ~ unfortunately she can not be
reached today due to the Portland event. However, I had a long conversation with her
deputy, Monica Nicholas who was very helpful. She can be reached at the same number.
You should give her a call and work out the details for Bob Van Hook.
O.K. Cool.

PROJECT S P O N S O R S H I P
I
N LATE JULY and early August, Congress will
weigh one of the most important legislative decisions
of our time: whether to guarantee comprehensive private health insurance to all Americans- insurance that
can never be taken away.
Millions of Americans will follow the debate
closely. Thousands of citizens will do more than
listen and watch. They "will ride into history-on
caravans of buses from every region of the coun^
PORTVANP
try, arriving on Capitol Hill at the beginning of
August. They will be nurses, doctors, working
people and retirees, celebrities, and political leaders. The "reform riders" will be carrying handwritten messages from their neighbors back home,
addressed to elected representatives, demanding
that Congress respond to President Clinton's leadership for universal coverage and guarantee thai no
American ever loses their health insurance.
The Health Security Express is supported by a
diverse group of organizations, corporations, and
unions. National sponsors, include: the American
Federation of State, Count}' and Municipal
Employees; Health RIGHT; Families USA; Hospital
Employees Local 1199; the United Auto Workers;
Communications Workers of America; Alzheimer's
Association; Waste Management, Inc.; Laborers
International Union of North America; Sen-ice
Employees International Union; and United Food and
Commercial Workers. Organizations or individuals
may sponsor a bus or donate supplies and services.

ON THE WAY, they will attend electrifying events in
cities around the country with big name entertainers,
state and community leaders and, we expect, the
President, the First Lady, Vice President and Mrs. Gore,
i::d Cabinet members. The reform riders "will be treated
as honored guests along the routes, where they will be
greeted by local officials and enjoy meals cooked by religious and community organizations.
Reaching Washington, they'll be greeted on Capitol
Hill by leaders of the House and Senate. The reform
riders will deliver thousands of personal messages to
each member of Congress. Other events in Washington
that week may feature the First Lady and Cabinet
members, as well as entertainment celebrities.
Bus routes are planned to maximize media coverage
in the districts of targeted lawmakers. Starting in the
West, Midwest, South, and Northeast, routes will run
from one to eight days.
The caravans will pass through many towns without long stops. Nonetheless, photo and interview
opportunities will be arranged for local media.
Reporters will be invited to ride with the Health
Security Express through their communities and supporters will be encouraged to cheer the reform riders
as they pass through town.
PURPOSE
Demonstrate an outpouring of support for passage of
health reform.
Influence swing members of Congress by holding
high-profile community events in their backyards.
Enable supportive groups, businesses, and community
leaders to join the groundswell of public support for
health reform.
HOW Y O U

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Dear Ms. Hays:
We are rapidly finalizing plans for the 1994 conference of the Minnesota Perinatal Organization (MPO). In two previous
letters to you we have requested Hilary Rodham Clinton to address the conference regarding the presidential health care
reform initiative. We know that Hilary Rodham Clinton has many requests for presentations and want to assure you that
PO organizes a strong group of providers and leaders to care for women and children in the state of Minnesota. The
st Lady's message would be well received by this group of highly motivated men and women.
m
At this time it is most important that we complete our conference planning. We would appreciate hearing from you by
April 21, 1994 regarding this request. Our conference is:
Minnesota Perinatal Organization
"Celebrating 20 Years of Collaborating for Excellence"
November 3 & 4, 1994
Minneapolis Airport Marriott, Bloomington, Minnesota
There is more detailed information regarding MPO and this conference in a letter sent to you, dated February 11, 1994.
If I can provide you with anything else you may need, please contact me at the number or address below.
Again we would be most pleased if Hilary Rodham Clinton would be able to address our conference. Thank you for your
attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from you.

April 11, 1994
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
Office of the first Lady
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I had the great pleasure of meeting you during the physician's breakfast briefing on health
care reform which you and the President so graciously hosted at the White House on
September 20, 1993. Because I am a physician, I am an intimate and daily witness to the
myriad faces of health care in America, and I am even more impressed with the immediacy
with which you and the President have embraced national health care reform.
Likewise, the 35,000 physicians represented by the American Osteopathic Association
(AOA) have watched with great interest and support your commitment to the public health
of this nation. The osteopathic medical profession wishes to continue in partnership with
you as you continue this commitment through legislative efforts on Capitol Hill. To that
end, I write to invite you to offer the keynote address at the 1994 Annual Convention and
Scientific Seminar of the American Osteopathic Association. The convention will take place
November 13-18, 1994 in San Francisco, California, and will be attended by approximately
5,000 osteopathic physicians. The AOA would be honored if you would offer the keynote
address to its members on Monday, November 14, at 8:00 AM and discuss "The Future of
Primary Care in America Under Health Care Reform."
Mrs. Clinton, as you know, the unique focus of osteopathic medicine, with its guiding
principle of treating the whole person has rooted the profession in a philosophy which
emphasizes primary care and prevention. These elements, as your dedication to them
proves, are vital to the health security of the nation.
One point on which virtually all experts on health system reform agree is that the
disproportionately high percentage of recent medical school graduates choosing to specialize
in areas other than primary care, and their distribution nationally is a significant contributor
to the American health care crisis. Because of this fact, a significant and critical demand
for primary care physicians has developed - a trend which will not easily be reversed. Over
fifty percent of osteopathic physicians practice in primary care areas, such as pediatrics,
general practice obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN) and internal medicine. Obviously, the
osteopathic profession provides a priceless resource in our nation's struggle against this
�trend. While osteopathic physicians may choose to specialize, the osteopathic internship
requires a unique rotation in internal medicine, OB/GYN, family practice and surgery,
ensuring that osteopathic physicians are first trained as primary care physicians.
Mrs. Clinton, the AOA's 1994 Annual Convention promises to be an exciting and groundbreaking celebration and exploration of the new world evolving under national health system
reform. Your presence would serve as a strong reminder that physicians trained in primary
care areas are a vital and valued link to successful and meaningful health system reform.
I hope that you are able to join the AOA during their 1994 Annual Convention and
Scientific Seminar. Because we are in the midst of finalizing and printing the convention
programs, I respectfully request that, if at all possible, a representative of your office contact
me with a reply by May 10, 1994. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On behalf of the Massachusetts Hospice Federation I would like to invite you to consider
participating as Keynote ^eakeF'a.Four annual Hospice Legislative meeting at the State
House in November (preferably November 15, 16, or 17). This annual meeting is our
opportunity to educate our legislature to the needs of individuals with a terminal illness.
If allowed to receive appropriate and adequate resources, those facing their final days can
do so in their own homes, surrounded by those that love them thus allowing them to die
with peace and dignity.
i
As our country's number one advocate for health care, we hope you will consider our
request for your much valued enthusiasm and support. Any and all arrangements could be
made to accommodate your schedule.
Thank you for your consideration. Keep up the great work!

Dear Ms. Wellford:
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this morning concerning our
upcoming luncheon during the Tennessee Hospital Assodation annual convention on
Thursday, Nov. 17. 1994.
We would like to invite a representative from the Clinton Administration to speak to
our group, the Tennessee Society for Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations. The
theme for this year's annual meeting focuses on the patient in a managed care
environment. This is a very hot topic for healthcare professionals in Tennessee. Not
only are we on the verge of some type of federal healthcare reform, but the State of
Tennessee implemented TennCare, a new reimbursement program which replaced the
state's Medicaid program on Jan, 1, 1994.
The Tennessee Hospital Association is an organization comprised of 165 hospitals, 20
skilled mir&ing homes. 3,000 personal members, and 30 allied affiliate organizations
of various health care professionals like TSHMPR. Over 800 THA representatives
attended the convention last year.
As I mentioned. Congressman Jim Cooper spoke to our group last year and the local
print and television media covered the event There will be approximately 50-75
persons in attendance during our luncheon. The TSHMPR luncheon is scheduled to
begin at 11:00 a.m. and we have a meeting room available until 4:00 p.m. The
designated speaker could speak during or immediately following the luncheon.
Schedule permitting, we could possibly arrange for the speaker to visit educational
sessions of other allied groups during the afternoon.
We would be very pleased to have a representative from the President's
Administration speak at our annual meeting. Please let me know if you need any
further information. If at all possible, would you let mc know if our function will be
considered? My daytime phone number is 615/451-5531.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The California Pharmacists Association is the largest state pharmacy association in the United States, and
is affihated with the American Pharmaceutical Association, the National Association of Retail Druggists,
and the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists. The Gallup Poll has ranked pharmacists the most
trusted and respected professionals for each of the last five years.
The Cahfomia Pharmacists Association Educational Foundation is holding its 1994 Western Pharmacy
Education Faire from September 30 through October 2. We invite you to address our meeting
participants with an update on the National Healthcare Reform package. Our members are very
interested the impact healthcare reform will have on their practice activities. Specifically, how will
pharmacists be impacted by the proposals under consideration; will patients be allowed open access to
pharmacies, and what pharmacy benefits will be included? We believe you can address these issues and
offer these dedicated professionals the information needed to better serve their communities.
The Western Pharmacy Education Faire is the largest and most comprehensive regional pharmacy
exhibition and continuing education in the country drawing over 1000 participants. This year's program
will be held at the Convention Center in Palm Springs. California. The general session is on Friday
morning from 9-11 a.m., and the Keynote address is the last 45 minutes of the session.
Mr. Magaziner, it is with great anticipation that we hope you respond favorably to this invitation. We
believe that your presentation would be immensely important to pharmacists and the opportunity will
provide you with valuable insight into the pharmacy community. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Robert P. Marshall, Pharm.D.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
The prehospital community is usually the public's first contact with the health care system in an emergency.
It is also quite often used as the primary care provider by a population with no where else to turn for care.
These systems are provided under a number of administrative models ranging from purely volunteer agencies
to private (for profit) services to governmental agencies. As you are very much aware, the health care
community has a great many questions and fears regarding the President's health care initiative. Prehospital
care providers are no exception. We are very much concerned about how the plan will impact our profession,
our ability to do our jobs, and our patients' well being. Much of the apprehension is probably due a lack of
knowledge concerning the particulars of the plan.
Therefore, we would like to extend an invitation to you to deliver the Keynote Address of the educational
component of the Emergency Besponse & Management Conference and Exposition to be held at the New
Jersey MeadowrandsConvenfaon Center O c t o b e r ^ - 2 9 . 1994. The Keynote will be held the morning of
QctobenZZ. It is^i«nT6penhat you could explain the impact of the President's Health Care Plan on the
prehospital community, and possibly hold a brief question and answer session following any prepared
statement.
This is a regional conference that is being nationally advertised. The audience will be composed primarily of
Emergency'Medical Technicians, Paramedics, EMS Medical Directors, EMS Educators, and EMS
Administrators. These individuals will be both career and volunteer providers from NY, NJ, PA, CT, MA, and
DE with several others from around the country. The Keynote session has been allotted 150 minutes. You may
use any or all of this time for your address should you chose to participate.
I am aware that other commitments may prevent your participation in this conference. As President of our
State Association and Vice Chair of the National Paramedic Society, I attend many of the regional and national
conferences held each year and have been in a position to note the absolute lack of information being
disseminated in this area. Therefor, we would ask that before making the decision, you consider that EMS has
been mostly overlooked in the statements issued by the administration to date and there has been no local
or national forum that has addressed this issue in detail. It is our wish to provide exactly that. However, should
circumstances prevent your attendance, we would appreciate your advising us as soon as possible.
Thank you for considering our invitation.
Respectfully yours,

Aroemsi mil be held in Las Vegas, August 30 through September 1, 1994.
Apprimrnjiitely 3,Cfl0 delegates will intend.
It is our earnesit hope th at you would accept an invitation to speak on the
issue of hejaJth caic reform - a topic with which you are not unfamiliar. As a
matter of fact, yomr role in the naiicnal debate has been indispensable and has
contributed enormously to the public undersuinding of the issues involved.
This invitation is serit to you st a time of uncertainty as to the
Congressional resironse. But it does seem certain that the final decision on the
debate,, which will define our health «:are system for the next fifty years, will go all
the way to the Senate and House conferees. Our Convention will occur, perhaps,
after the initial enactment in both houses of Congress, but prior to the
momentous deliberations of tie conlerees. The Administration's steadfastness
and the Congressional Democratic Leadership's determination will be the
definingfedon in whether the couniy will have health care that can never be
lost.
Again, we seek your acojptanct! of our invitation to speak on this pivotal
issue of ouc time smd at the turning period in the debate.
Sincerely,
;3>

Dear Ms. Wellford:
I would l i k e t o request a speaker from President Clinton's
Healthcare Task Force t o speak a t the Edison Electric I n s t i t u t e s '
National Accounts Workshop on either August 29, 1994 or August 30,
1994 i n Salt Lake City, Utah.
I am a National Accounts Executive i n the National Accounts
department of Edison Electric I n s t i t u t e , EEI, here i n Washington.
We work with seven major commercial segments: r e t a i l , restaurant,
lodging, supermarkets, convenience stores, the Federal government,
and healthcare, we focus on the unique and growing needs of those
commercial customers with multiple sites including "chains" and
franchise operations, EEI has met the needs of these customers by
organizing regional and national networks of e l e c t r i c u t i l i t y
marketing representatives. These networks have assisted National
Accounts customers i n a variety of ways: expediting new service
connections, providing information about rates, discounts and
incentives, and providing assistance with end-use energy technology
design and specification.
We hold two National Accounts Workshops a year: one i n February and
one i n August. Our February workshop i s February 6-9, 1994 i n
Atlanta, Georgia; with the focus being on restaurants and r e t a i l .
Our August workshop w i l l be August 28-31, 1994, i n Salt Lake City,
Utah, with the primary focus on the healthcare industry. The
healthcare industry i s one of the fastest-growing sectors of the U.
6. Economy, and as you are aware, a focus of the Administration's
cost-reduction e f f o r t s . Although the healthcare sector i s laborintensive with high administration costs, there are s i g n i f i c a n t
opportunities t o reduce costs through
efficient
electric
technologies i n l i g h t i n g , HVAC (heating, v e n t i l a t i o n , and a i r
conditioning), water heating, food service and waste management.
Also, the resurgence of Tuberculosis, as an epidemic threat, has
caused the medical f i e l d to c a l l upon u l t r a v i o l e t l i g h t s as a form
of treatment.

With t h i s information i n mind, I want the primary focus of the
August National Accounts Workshop to be the Healthcare industry.
Therefore, I am requesting a speaker from the Clinton
Administration t o discuss the Healthcare plan, the importance of
energy efficiency and environmentally-correct structures. Also,

year, for you to present your thoughts on universal and
affordable health care and i t s implications on the nation's
emergency medical services. Additionally, t h e i r network offers
you an opportunity to reach the grassroots with l o c a l leaders
from every community in America with one appearance.
Needless to say, I hope you can do t h i s and w i l l be happy to
provide you with a f u l l briefing before-hand and to accompany you
to the event.
Keep up the great work and l e t me know when I can help. My

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I am writing on behalf of the nation's fire and emergency services community
To i n v i t e yOU tO address the 121st a n n u a l COnfernnrp o f t h p T n f p m a H n n a l
Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) on thytopl^ of universal health care and its
Implications on the nation's emergency medical services.
Fire departments across America - both large and small, paid and volunteer have been providing high quality and high access emergency medical care for
a number of years. In most areas there is no charge for services provided, and
in all cases our patients receive the same high level of care regardless of their
economic status or ability to pay. In many ways the contemporary fire
department EMS system embodies the spirit of the national health care plan
envisioned by the Clinton administration.
Despite this, the fire service is at a critical junction. Fire-related losses
continue to diminish each year, while the demand for emergency medical
services continues to soar. More than sixty percent of the nation's fire
departments provide emergency medical services (EMS), and medical
emergencies now constitute (on average) more than eighty percent of the
total emergency call volume. We are quickly becoming a public service whose
primary function is medical care.
There are other noteworthy trends adding to the challenges of providing EMS
service. The alarming rate of violence-related trauma is placing a significant
strain on the trauma care system. These services are among the most
expensive to perform, and the patients often lack any medical insurance. Yet
in the face of rising need, hospital trauma centers across the country are
closing down because of record financial loses. Among the relatively few
remaining trauma centers, the high costs of service are usually passed on to
other system components, further escalating the cost of basic medical care.

�For the same reasons that many hospitals are moving away from trauma care,
our EMS systems are also becoming strained nearly to the point exhaustion.
Due to the emergency nature of our business, and in consideration of the
expensive nature of emergency trauma care, our EMS systems are quickly
reaching financial crisis. To make matters worse, we are experiencing an
unprecedented rise in the demand for services, while simultaneously being
forced to operate with significantly reduced budgets.
For these reasons, the IAFC has significant interest in supporting a
nationalized system of health care that encompasses all the contemporary
components of the emergency health care system, including EMS.

Dear Steve:
I recently telephoned your office to extend an invitation for
you to participate as a keynote speaker at our annual Hospital
Chief Executive Officers (CEO) Conference scheduled for Friday,
August 26 at Nemacolin Woodlands, Parmington, Pennsylvania.
I t i s my understanding that Brian Tiboni made reference to my
c a l l on the occasion of his recent v i s i t with you.
The Hospital CEO Conference i s an annual program sponsored by
Veritus/Blue Cross of Western Pennsylvania (BCWP) dedicated to
furthering our cooperative working relationships with nearly 100
hospitals throughout western Pennsylvania. Attendance i s open to
CEOs, COOs, and CPOs, with nearly 400 usually accepting our
invitation.
The Conference w i l l be convened on August 25-26, and a f u l l
range of business topics and a focus on health care reform are
primary agenda items.
Should your schedule permit you to accept, we w i l l make
arrangements for your travel and accommodations. While we can
appreciate the demands on your limited a v a i l a b i l i t y in the midst of
congressional negotiations on health care reform, your acceptance
of this invitation to address the Conference would be most welcome.
Please l e t me know of your decision so we may proceed i n
developing our Conference materials. You may contact me at (412)
255-7855 at your convenience.

Dear Ira:
I've been meaning to write for months, and was f i n a l l y galvanized to
i t by talking with Charles Ray at a conference last month and watching you
on TV this morning as the health care proposal was going to Congress. I t
has been a great pleasure for me to watch you at the hearings and read
about your work. I've especially enjoyed seeing you use your
intelligence, receptiveness, concern and a b i l i t y to find common ground so
creatively and productively now, as you did when we were both at Brown.
My l i f e has changed considerably since then. In the late 70's and
early to mid 80's I l e f t academia and trained as a psychotherapist and
psychologist, and eventually moved back to the West. I am directing a
community mental health center i n southwest Wyoming - very non-urban.
I'm also active i n the state and regional mental health organizations,
which i s how I've met Charles Ray.
I'm writing with two invitations. One i s to invite you, or others
you're working with, to be i n touch with me i f I can be of any help i n
providing information or i n advocating f o r mental health services under
health care reform. That may be superfluous, given our national
organization's a c t i v i t y , but I thought I would offer.
The other invitation i s more specific. The Rocky Mountain Council of
Community Mental Health Centers i s holding i t s regional conference August
25 - 27, 199<t, i n Sheridan, Wyoming. Since we are the host state, I am
helping organize the conference. W would l i k e to i n v i t e you to the
e
conference as keynote speaker and participant. I realize that your
schedule i s packed and you may well be committed for that time already,
and we would have to see i f i t would work out financially. But we would
l i k e very much to have you come i f we can work i t out. This year's
conference focused on mental health services i n health care reform, and i t
would be exciting to continue that theme. And I would very much enjoy the
chance to get together with you again.
�In any case, I w i l l continue t o follow your progress and hope f o r
your success.
I w i l l look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The National Treatment Consortium would like to invite you to join us as a faculty
member of the Fifth Annual Natlonai Conference on Treatment Initiatives. The
Conference is scheduled for August 21-23.1994 at the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza in
Rockville, Maryland:
The NTC Conference Planning Committee recommended that you address the topic of
The National Drug Control Strategy and Health Care Reform Initiatives. Your
presentation would be part of a larger panel presentation, designed to include the
interests and concerns of payors, purchasers and providers. Enclosed is a copy of
the Proposed Conference Program with the date, time and co-presenters. So that we
may promote your participation and encourage attendance at the Conference, please
review this information and return the enclosed Acceptance Form with your 1 paragraph biography and curriculum vitae to NTC before March 22, 1994.
The Conference theme "CREATING THE FUTURE" is designed to proactively shape
the future of purchasing and providing addiction treatment. It will introduce new ideas
and concepts in structuring benefits, creating practice guidelines, and operationalizing
medical necessity. It is also designed to address viable approaches to work together
by identifying the elements of successful relationships and by increasing the
understanding of "quality treatment," from the perspective of the payor, purchaser,
provider and patient.
The objective of the Conference is to bring together the viewpoints of all the major
groups (employers, insurance, managed care, and providers), involved in defining
issues in alcohol and other drug treatment. The intent is to provide a greater understanding of how all parties can work together to provide effective and efficient care.
The quality of treatment will be examined by exploring issues that have an impact on
the healthcare delivery system, such as the costs, liabilities, ethics, clinical skills,
outcomes, and future directions of paying for, purchasing, and providing treatment.

Dear Mr. President:
Presbyterian Medical Center of Philadelphia invites you to be guest of honor at a
Community Partnership Day that we are sponsoring within the next three weeks with our
representative, The Honorable Lucien Blackwell.
We endorse health care reform and believe that this event would provide two excellent
opportunities for you to address health reform in urban America.
The program would include a tour of Presbyterian's Community Education Initiative,
which is helping welfare recipients and the working poor prepare for meaningful careers. The
second event is the Community Healthcare Forum, a meeting about health reform for the
leaders of our West Philadelphia community. This is a summary of the events.
Ladder of Opportunity
A Community Education Initiative
—In-Augustr-52-Students will graduate from Presbyterian's School of Practical Nursing.
After one year of full-time study they can earn starting salaries of up to $25,000 a year. What
makes this graduation unusual? The students themselves.
Nearly half are, or have been, on welfare and one-third never finished high school. The
"typical" student is a 30-year- old, African-American, single mother with an annual income
below $10,000. Yet in one year, this unique program prepares these students for meaningful,
professional careers with almost unlimited upward mobility.
Five years ago, seeking a way to control the high cost of recruiting and retaining
qualified nurses, Presbyterian decided to look in its own backyard. It began an educational
initiative to recruit non-traditional students from its own community, give them the help they
needed to succeed in the Medical Center's nursing school and hire them upon graduation.

By all measures the plan has exceeded expectations. More than 150 students have
graduated and are working as nurses, many at the Medical Center and at Presbyterian's nursing
homes. Many are enrolled in college and are working toward nursing degrees.
On Community Partnership Day, we will ask some of the graduates back to the school to
address the current class. One of them will be Mary Ann Couch, who five years ago lived in
poverty with three children and a drug-addicted husband. She now is studying for a
baccalaureate in nursing at the University of Pennsylvania and has plans for graduate school.
Hers may be the most remarkable story but there are many others who have overcome great
adversity to succeed once they were given the opportunity.
Some critics of healthcare reform have claimed that it could mean economic disaster for
hospitals. We believe that finding new ways to do things is a great opportunity and that with
creativity, health care reforni can help the community.
Community Partnerships
How Healthcare Reform Can Benefit the Urban Community
Presbyterian is uniquely qualified to sponsor a debate on healthcare reform in the urban
community. It has been an anchor in West Philadelphia since 1871. It now serves a
neighborhood of more than 227, 000 people, more than half of whom have incomes below
$15,000.
For more than five years, Presbyterian has been part of a model program to bring
managed care to Medical Assistance recipients. It has developed more than a dozen programs
aimed at the under-served elderly, mentally ill and addicted. The Medical Center has a vital
community relations program and is involved in many civic issues -- crime, addiction, economic
development, education - as well as medical ones.
In partnership with our congressman, The Hon. Lucien Blackwell, we would like to hold
a Community Forum on Healthcare Reform that is aimed at this economically disadvantaged
urban population. The audience would be local community leaders in business and education ~
people who are our partners in many medical and civic programs. Presbyterian works closely
with the African-American clergy who play such vital leadership roles in urban America. The
clergy would be well-represented in the diverse, representative audience.
The Medical Center's president, I . Donald Snook, Jr., is a man of vision who welcomes
change and reform. He publicly has supported an end to the two-tier system of health care
delivery. Mr. Snook would be an appropriate person to co-host such a program with our
respected congressman, Mr. Blackwell.

Hospital Helps Itself by Helping Poor
By MICHAEL deCOURCY HINDS
Special to The New York Times
PHILADELPHIA,
Dec. 11 — Four
years ago, when
the national shortage of nurses was
nearly at its low point, the Presbyterian Medical Center of Philadelphia
closed its School of Nursing.
The school that had trained registered nurses for a century no longer
attracted enough qualified applicants, in part because nursing students, mostly from middle-class families, did not want to study or work at
an inner city hospital.
Pondering the shortage, the hospital's chief operating officer, I . Donald
Snook Jr., looked out his office window one day and believed he saw the
nurses of the future: the working
poor of West Philadelphia.
Since then the hospital has spent $1
million to expand its training program for licensed practical nurses
into a full-fledged School of Practical
Nursing, tailoring admissions and
other programs to their needs. Applicants need only have a high school
education; the hospital helps with the
rest, including jobs, tutors and scholarships.
Low-income people have been eager for training to become $25,000-ayear licensed practical nurses. After
they achieve that goal the hospital
gives them flexible work schedules
and money to continue their education to become registered nurses,
earning $40,000 a year.
The hospital now receives 10 applications for every opening in its practical nursing program.
"There is no better example of people maturing, growing and making it,
right out of abject poverty," Mr.
Snook said m an interview this week.
'' But I don't want to become the king
of practical nursing schools. My goal
is to show other hospitals in inner cities, where the nursing shortage is
acute, that they can open up these 12-
month programs for the local people.
This program has a future, and it can
be applied nationwide."
Presbyterian Hospital, founded in
1871 by Presbyterian ministers, is
now independent. The practical nursing program has 100 students, a fivefold increase over its 1989 enrollment.

child support. Ms. McHugh knows her
way around the courthouse: she is a
former assistant district attorney in
Philadelphia.
In a half-dozen interviews, students
told personal stories of hardship and
poverty, then brightened to speak
with amazement and joy over the
way their lives had turned around in
the last year or two.
Mary Ann Couch, who is 30 and
lives with her mother and three
young children, said she quit school in
the 10th grade but finished her course
work for a high school diploma in
1986. For seven years she worked as a
nurse's aide, earning $6,000 a year. In
1990 she worked seven days a week to
save her house from foreclosure. To
make ends meet while in the nursing
program, she had to go on welfare.

More than a third of this year's
graduates are coming off the welfare
rolls. Most are over 35, have families,
work full time and earn less than
$20,000 a year. Most live in West Philadelphia or in other low-income
neighborhoods. All had high school diplomas, but most needed remedial
education in math and English.
Social workers on the hospital's
staff have helped students deal with a
wide variety of problems. Marilyn
McHugh, director of the night school
section, said she had given free legal
help to nearly every student for problems that included settling a rent dis-

Solution to the nurse shortage:
Train them in the neighborhood
CLAUDE LEWIS
Many American hospitals suffer
from a critical shortage of nurses
despite the fact that salaries and
working conditions for those in white
have been upgraded.
It's not unusual for registered nurses to earn in excess for $40,000 a year
and for licensed practical nurses routinely to be receive $25,000. A program at Presbyterian Medical Center
in West Philadelphia is demonstrating
that the critical shortage of nurses in
America may well be a problem of
faulty recruiting rather than a genuine
lack of qualified potential nursing
students.
Five years ago, after a century of
training nurses, Presbyterian closed
its nursing school because of difficulty in attracting middle class students
to study and work in a inner city hospital.
Hospital president 1. Donald
Snook, Jr., made a business decision
that had vast social implications as
well. If Presbyterian couldn't bring
outsiders into the inner city, he reasoned, the hospital would recruit
nursing students from the inner city
itself.
Snook believes that special efforts
at neighborhood recruiting - accompanied by effective support mechanisms ranging from remedial courses
in math, English, science and life
skills - provides an adequate base
upon which to create effective nursing students.
To accomplish this, Presbyterian
offers day and evening courses in
order to accommodate students who
may be working or caring for children. The program contracts with
Community College of Philadelphia.
Students receive college credits in
addition to their nursing degrees.
With only an additional 30 credits,
they can become registered nurses
after r just 12 months of study.
During the last four years. Snook's
programs have helped to improve the
operation of Presbyterian Hospital by
beefing up its nursing staff. The program has also improved the lives of
many people who have often worked
at low-paying dead-end jobs.
Twenty-two percent of the last graduating class were receiving public
assistance.
"We have a commitment to the
people because of our mission, and
what better way to demonstrate that
commitment than with the employees
and the community who are our
resource and who help us meet our
needs," Snook said.
Some Presbyterian staffers donate
their expertise to assist students with
a variety of legal problems such as
obtaining child support. Once such
problems are resolved, students perform surprisingly well.
Hospital recruiters often overlook a
rich reservoir of potential nurses who
live or work in the neighborhood. In
an effort to find new nurses, some
institutions have recruited overseas,
offering students costly incentives,
such as free room and board, instead
of helping local people begin nursing
careers, many recruiters routinely
allow people with potential talent to
languish on welfare or unemployment
without help or hope.
One very successful local student
in Presbyterian's "Ladder out of
Poverty," program is Mary Ann
Couch, who worked for six years as a
nursing assistant. In August, Couch
became a graduate licensed practical
nurse and is now on staff at
Presbyterian. Her salary went from
$5.25 to $12 an hour. She is working
to become an RN despite her recent
separation from her husband and the
demands involved in raising three
young children.
"It's not easy," Couch, who lives
with her mother, said in a interview.
"But the effort has changed me and
my children. As they see me study,
they are more involved in their own
school work. Everybody competes
for good grades now," she says.
Couch hopes eventually to earn a
master's degree in nursing and help
nurses achieve greater independence
from doctors.
"It makes you feel proud of what you
can do," Couch said. "Sometimes,
when you're a member of a minority
group, you give up all hope. You
don't think you have a chance. But
this program has taught me that if I
work hard, I can make it. I'm proud
that I no longer stand on welfare lines
for a handout."
Since 1990, more than 200
Presbyterian employees have signed
up for career-development programs.
People in the neighborhood whose
dreams appeared to have died long
ago are taking advantage o f the
opportunity at Presbyterian. Many
are exchanging welfare checks for
paychecks. Instead of being drains
on society, they are now taxpayers.
Many hospital administrators have
been reluctant to depend on the local
as a reliable resource for hospital personnel.
Sometimes people in positions of
authority make harmful assumptions
about those they are not familiar with.
Such assumptions often keep others
from reaching their potential.
However, Snook's clear-headed
solution to Presbyterian's needs may
well induce hospital administrators
nationwide to reduce recruiting
efforts overseas and concentrate their
efforts right in their own backyards.
It's entirely possible that healthy attitudes about America's poor, on the
part of nursing and other recruiters,
could end the persistent critical shortage of skilled workers in hospitals
and other industries.
Presbyterian's nursing program is
proving that sometimes all that is
needed to change the lives is new
opportunities along with imaginative,
creative and innovative recruiting
efforts among America's disenfranchised.

To Whom it May Concern:
Millard Fillmore Health System, a multi-siti-, university affiliated, health care system with more
than 600 acute-care beds, recently completed one of the largest expansion and modernization
projects in its modern history. Millard Fillmore takes great pride in meeting the health care needs
of Western New Yorkers, which is why this, tirpansion project is so important to our hospitals and
communities.
On August 19, 1994, Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital in Williamsville, New York, will celebrate
its 20th Anniversary and the completion of its $40 million renovation and expansion project with a
ribbon cutting ceremony. There will be a reception immediately following the brief ceremony,
tentatively scheduled for 3pm. We would like to request that President Clinton attend the
ceremony and address the participants and guests.
If n morning event could be more easily arranged, the ceremony can be rescheduled accordingly. If
that is still not compatible with the President's schedule, we would ask for assistance in arranging
for Mrs. Clinton or Vice President Gore to attend instead.
The expansion project has added more than 75,000 square feet of space to the hospital, and the new
North building will be dedicated at the ceremony to a loca! individual who took the leadership role
in obtaining the financial, governmental and community support resulting in the establishment of
the Suburban hospital in 1974. Thanks to his exhaustive efforts, the Millard Fillmore Health
System is strategically positioned to continue providing quality health care to the residents of
Buffalo's northern and eastern suburbs via the Suburban hospital. Not only is the Millard Fillmore
Health System expanding its physical boundaries during this era of health care reform, but we're
also increasing our outreach and previ-ntive rare programs to more fully serve the residents of
Western New York.
Thank you for your attention and assistance i n this matter. A member of our Communications staff
will follow up with you shortly.

Dear Ms. Seidman:
I am pleased to once again request the honor of having Mrs.jCHnton as
our keynote speaker at our yearlyj;Family Phy_sician?lAppj^adiio..Clinical Problems"
Conference.
Last year Mrs. Clinton was unable to attend, and with the assistance of
your office and the office of Mr. Magaziner a speaker was recommended. Mr.
McLaughlin, a member of the Health Care Task Force, spoke in vague terms about a
health care plan not yet released.
This year we would like to have the opportunity to have Mrs. Clinton
address this group of family physicians as a keynote luncheon or dinner speaker on
August 18 CK August 19, 1994.
Please notify me as soon as possible if there is any likelihood of success
in our endeavor this year to recruit Mrs. Clinton as a speaker.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Dear Al:
I invite you to join us in the Beehive State for the third Utah International Medical
Device Congress and National Policy Summit, which will be held in Park City, Utah, on
August 18-20, 1994. These events, hosted by Senator Orrin G. Hatch, will precede the 4th
Annual Utah Congressional Golf Challenge in Park City. If you are planning to participate in
the Golf Challenge, you need only arrange your flight schedule with Delta Air Lines (please
reference the Congressional Golf Challenge when making flight arrangements) so that you can
attend the congress on August 18 and 19 and\or the summit on August 20.
Complimentary meals and lodging will be provided by the Utah Biomedical Industry
Council from Wednesday afternoon, August 17, through Saturday night, August 20.
Accommodations for the Golf Challenge will begin Sunday, August 21. Please RSVP to
Myrna Hill concerning your attendance at the Utah International Medical Device Congress
and\or National Policy Summit by calling 801-538-8775.
In the clamor of debate surrounding health care reform, the plight of the medical device
industry begs attention. The quality of our health care is inseparably linked to this nation's
continued leadership in medical device technology.
However, the Food and Drug
Administration is having a difficult time in meeting the challenge of approving in a timely
manner medical device technologies that can save or improve lives. The device clearance
"logjam" and related regulatory issues have created a critical problem in our health care system.
America is facing the prospect of losing her medical device industry.
The domestic medical device industry consists of highly diverse, predominantly small
manufacturers who produce a vast array of life-saving and life-enhancing equipment and
supplies that benefit millions. Indeed, this industry is not only an important resource
promoting the public health, but is also an economic resource that contributed $4 billion to the
U.S. trade surplus in 1991 and has created more than 30,000 jobs since 1988.
The third Utah International Medical Device Congress will advance the cause of safe,
affordable health care by focusing on the issues confronting the medical device industry and
the FDA. In its short history, this congress has become a nationally-recognized forum for
discussion of these issues. Indeed, the "official proceedings" of the congress have become a
standard reference for the industry.
�On the third day of meetings, top leaders from the U.S. Congress, FDA, and industry
will meet. This "National Policy Summit" will consider the findings and recommendations of
the first two days' meetings, debate the issues, and seek solutions that will determine the future
of the American medical device industry.
Your attention and participation are critical to a full discussion of these issues. We
would be most pleased if you would join us in Utah this August.

An economic forecast will be presented with emphasis
placed upon die present and future condition of consumer
spending, business investment and governmental spending. This discussion will emphasize trends shaping the US
economy for the rest of .1994, as well as implications for
the remainder of the decade. The analysis will set the stage
to forecast the direction of short and long-term interest
rates as well as stock market trends. Given the uncertainty
inherent in any forecast, we will present a discussion on
the importance of asset allocation. This investment solution further reduces exposure to the risks associated with
forecasting interest rates and future stock prices.

Dear Bill:
I invite you to join us in the Beehive State for the third Utah International Medical
Device Congress and National Policy Summit, which will be held in Park City, Utah, on
August 18-20, 1994. These events, hosted by Senator Orrin G. Hatch, will precede the 4th
Annual Utah Congressional Golf Challenge in Park City. If you are planning to participate in
the Golf Challenge, you need only arrange your flight schedule with Delta Air Lines (please
reference the Congressional Golf Challenge when making flight arrangements) so that you can
attend the congress on August 18 and 19 and\or the summit on August 20.
Complimentary meals and lodging will be provided by the Utah Biomedical Industry
Council from Wednesday afternoon, August 17, through Saturday night, August 20.
Accommodations for the Golf Challenge will begin Sunday, August 21. Please RSVP to
Myrna Hill concerning your attendance at the Utah International Medical Device Congress
and\or National Policy Summit by calling 801-538-8775.
In the clamor of debate surrounding health care reform, the plight of the medical device
industry begs attention. The quality of our health care is inseparably linked to this nation's
continued leadership in medical device technology.
However, the Food and Drug
Administration is having a difficult time in meeting the challenge of approving in a timely
manner medical device technologies that can save or improve lives. The device clearance
"logjam" and related r-gulatory issues have created a critical problem in our hea h care system.
America is facing the prospect of losing her medical device industry.
!i
The domestic medical device industry consists of highly diverse, predominantly small
manufacturers who produce a vast array of life-saving and life-enhancing equipment and
supplies that benefit millions. Indeed, this industry is not only an important resource
promoting the public health, but is also an economic resource that contributed $4 billion to the
U.S. trade surplus in 1991 and has created more than 30,000 jobs since 1988.
The third Utah International Medical Device Congress will advance the cause of safe,
affordable health care by focusing on the issues confronting the medical device industry and
the FDA. In its short history, this congress has become a nationally-recognized forum for
discussion of these issues. Indeed, the "official proceedings" of the congress have become a
standard reference for the industry.
�On the third day of meetings, top leaders from the U.S. Congress, FDA, and industry
will meet. This "National Policy Summit" will consider the findings and recommendations of
the first two days' meetings, debate the issues, and seek solutions that will determine the future
of the Amencan medical device industry.
Your attention and participation are critical to a full discussion of these issues, We
wou.d be most pleased if you would join us in Utah this August.

RE:
HEALTH CARE REFORM '94: Update & Understanding
PAGE 1 OF 5
I know you normally work with Preston here at the Columbia Institute, but as she is out of town
this week, I thought I would go ahead and contact you myself. We are putting together a health
care reform conference for Congressmen Clement, Gordon, and Tanner in Nashville on the
afternoon of August 16th and would like to have a representative from the White House there.
The congressmen wanted to invite Mrs. Clinton, so I have included their invitation to her along
with a copy of the agenda. If she were able to speak, she would be scheduled to deliver the
keynote address at 7:15 p.m. (This could be changed depending on her schedule.) In the event
that she is unable to participate, Uwe Reinhardt would deliver the keynote address and the
T representative from the White House would participate in the Point/Counterpoint session with
Dr. Paul Ellwood, Jr., president of the InterStudy/Jackson Hole Group.
x
The event will take place at the Stouffer Hotel with approximately 300 people attending. There
will be a heavy emphasis placed on reaching out to the general public. About 10,000 personal
invitations will be mailed across Tennessee and posters will be hung in churches,
hospital/doctors offices' waiting rooms, rotary clubs, meeting halls, etc. The program will be
similar in content to the other programs we have put together.
Please give me a call at (202) 547-2470 when you can. I look forward to talking with you soon.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
As the health care reform debate enters a critical phase
in Congress, it is imperative that the people of Tennessee
receive the most current information about the decisions their
leaders are facing in Washington. To be sustained, any health
care reform that ultimately passes must have the support of an
informed public.
It is for this reason that we are chairing "HLALTH
CARE REFORM '94: Update & Understanding" on the
afternoon of Tuesday, August 16, 1994 in Nashville. We would
like to invite you to speak at the forum and share your insights
with the participants.
The event, coordinated by the Columbia Institute, will be
open to the public and will seek to involve people from across
Tennessee in an informal, bipartisan forum on hwlih care
reform. Your participation will ensure the success of this event,
and we hope you will be able to join us.

HEALTH REFORM: WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR
INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, AND THE U.S. ECONOMY?
Mary people ihlnk thai the U.S. health cijre syjteia Is In dlsarray-cosis
are extraordinarily high, yet 35 million people sire without health insurance.
Moreover, control of health care costs is necensaiy if we are to control the
federal budget deficit and enhance the economy's performance. Dramatically
different proposals have been advanced to deal with these praWeras, ranging
from incremental changes that would enable small businesses to purchase
inaunmuc at affunlable premiums, tu "maiitiged competition" in which
goveramem would regulate a restructured matket for health insurance, to a
"single payer" system where the federal govemnient would be the only inaurer.
Although there has been much debate, deep clivisiom remain over how the
country should respond. The panelists in this session will analyze the lileely
Impacts of the leading proposals for feforzning the health tare system on
individuals, businesses, and the overall economy.

As the health care reform debate enters a critif^ phase
in Congress, it is imperative that the people of Tennessee

care reform that ultimately passes must have the support of an
informed public.
It is for this reason thut we are chairing "HEALTH

�P R E A M B L E - L i f e , liberty and the
pursuit of happiness together with
the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill
of Rights of the United States of
America are somewhat empty phrases
to thqusands of physically handicapped citizens who, by reason of their
disability, do not enjoy opportunity
equally with their fellow citizens.
In any attempt to evaluate the position of the physically handicapped
adult, it is necessary to state that while
his physical limitations impose some
restrictions on his activities in varying
degrees, he is and will remain a human being living in a free society.
He is created^with and endowed
with certain rights and privileges, and
must also assume, insofar as possible,
certain responsibilities and obligations. Life is worthwhile only when
we learn to give and to r e c e i v e when we make full use of our rights
and also fulfill our duties.
Therefore, be it resolved that the
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THE
PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED, Inc.
do adopt and implement this BILL
OF RIGHTS. 1. The right to the eariT
est possible diagnosis of and treatment for our disability or Injury to
aid in achieving a maximum recovery.
2. The right to an adequate public
education commensurate with the
Jndividual's physical capacity to attend schools or to accept teaching
in any of the mediums. 3. The right
to an adequate training or retraining
for a vocation where the individual's
physical capacities and his aptitudes
can be most productive and where
the individual finds satisfaction. 4.
The. right to seek employment in
fields of our own choosing on an
equal basis with those similarly
qualified. 5. The right to equal pay
for equal work. 6. The right to seek
the elimination of architectural barriers to provide an accessible entrance
to public buildings and to spiritual,
cultural and recreational building
so that the physically handicappe
may discharge their duties as citizen9
and fulfill their desires socially. 7. The
right to accessible facilities in the
area of Civil Defense.

One way we cc :h;jt i> by convening the National Alliance to End Homelessness Leadership
:
Rji iKitabJe. The Roundtable is an occasional meeting of over eighty national organizations concerned about
honidessnes.'. and povery. These include civil rights, anti-poverty, education and advocacy groups such as
tie U.S. Co/rference of Mayors, tie National Mental Health Association, the Children's Defense Fund,
National League of Cities, Nitional Neighborhood Coalition, and ACORN.
I an i writing to invite a ref rrtentative of your Administration, such as Ira Magaziner or Secretary
Donna Sbala a,toaddress the Roundtable members. We would like your representative to discuss the impact
of vbs health care reform plaoii proposed by the House and Senate Majority Leaders, on vulnerable
populations, particularly homeless individuals and families. Features of the plans that would be of interest
are u e benef its package, specifically (tie coverage of substance abuse treatment, mental health seivices, and
b
preventative care; accessibility of services and outreach; and the amount of co-payments for each service. In
addition, tbe Roundtable would be ar excellent opportunity to ask these national organizations to activate their
gmsu-oots networks to ensure the p; s: age of these proposals. Also, we would send out a press release and
conduct follow-up phone Ciilli; to assure media coverage. The Roundtable is an informal discussion and your
j imiuks should last appKudinately twenty minutes. At the conclusion of thoseremarksthere will be a
question and answer session and difcussion.
We would like to suggest any day during the week of August 8, 1994 for tbe meeting. Tbe
RouQ'Jtable will take place at a site in downtown D.C. Traditionally, tbe meeting runs from 12:30 to
2:00 p.ni., with lunch served at 12:.W' p.m. and comments beginning at 12:45 p.m. However, this is very
flexible.

Dear Dr. Feder:
The American Psychological Association i s holding i t s 102nd annual
convention in Los Angeles this year, and I am writing to invite you
to participate in a significant discussion of health care reform.
This gathering brings together over ^OQO psychologists from
around the nation for five days of symposia, seminars and
discussions of issues affecting every facet of psychology. As
health care reform i s of v i t a l concern to the practice of
psychology, a panel discussion t i t l e d "Future ot Federal and State
Health Care Reform" has been planned for Friday, August 12, 1394
from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Los Angelcss Convention Center.
W would be most honored i f you would agree to speak on that panel
e
from your perspective as a leader on federal reform efforts. W
e
w i l l have panelists speaking from the state and business
perspective as well. The discussion v i l l be moderated by Dr.
Bryant Welch, APA's Senior Policy Advisor for Health Care Reform.
We realize that there are many requests for your time, but your
participation in this event would certainly provide a prominent
forum for you to give the Admini st: ration' s views on the
Congressional session that w i l l just have recessed. Certainly, we
at APA, which i s an active member of the Health Care Reform
Project, hope that a comprehensive refonr b i l l w i l l have passed by
that time.
I would welcome the opportunity to talk with you further about our
convention. Please contact me or Peter Nawbould of our Government
Relations staff at 202-336-5800 i f you heive any questions.

Dear Vice President Gore:
We are delighted to learn from The Honorable John Bryant and Honorable Martin Frost
that you and Mrs. Gore have graciously held the dates of August 11-14, 1994 on your
calendar for the Tenth Year Anniversary Meeting of the National Association of
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Physicians. The Tenth Year Anniversary Meeting will
be held at the Marriott, Portland, Oregon and promises to be a very celebrated and
special affair.
The National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP) represents medical directors
responsible for EMS programs throughout the United States, and also represents other
physicians and non-physicians dedicated to out-of-hospital emergency medical care.
Most of the physicians within this organization are medically-legally responsible for the
provision of out-of-hospital emergency care in their communities.
As a leading organization within the emergency medical services community, the National
Association of EMS Physicians works hand in hand with the Congressional Fire Services
Institute, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, the Office of Rural Health and Policy, the Emergency Medical
Services for Children Program through the Maternal and Child Health Office, the Office
of Trauma Recovery and Response and many other leading governmental agencies.
We are privileged and honored that you might consider addressing our membership and
can only hope that your schedule will permit you to do so. I am enclosing information
detailing our conference. Please feel free to contact me directly should you have any
questions and/or concerns.
Sincerely,
_y

With a distinguished panel and an electrifying topic, 1 envision this program will
be an important event at the Annual Meeting. It will serve as a springboard for an
evaluation of the future of the APA. After all, in this "cutting edge" legislation,
the use of an alternative to a state or federal APA protected hearing speaks to not
only the pcicciveu efficiency of tile APA but also to its very efficacy , in an\
event this subject will ensure a lively discussion concerning the procedural
innovations of the HSA and the basic underpinning of the Administrative
Procedure Act.
Please advise me of your decision at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours,
Parlen L. McKenna

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Clinton :
I pray this letter will reach you. I plead with you to give it some serious
thought.
The only true miracle in this world happens every day and that is the birth of
a HEALTHY baby. Eyes that see, ears that hear, voices that speak, minds
that function and learn, legs that walk, arms that hug...this is a TRUE
MIRACLE. One that is often taken for granted.
I am writing to you as a representative of a group of families who have one
thing in common...our children are dying.
Our "miracle" children were bom healthy and grew healthy, then suddenly at
the age of six months, two years, five or seven years they developed health
problems. The medical search begins for a name and a cause and in some
cases it has taken years to reach a diagnosis. But when that diagnosis was
confirmed, our "babies" received a death sentence. And worse yet, a longdrawn out death sentence that over a period of years robs them of their
precious sight. Their learning minds suddenly can't remember, seizures
become daily occurrences. Their muscles start to atrophy. Soon there is no
conversation. They cannot run, skip or jump anymore. They cannot
swallow. They cannot say "I love you, mom". They don't have the strength
to return a hug. (The most painliil part is "these kids KNOW what is
happening to them".)
4,
We are the Batten"s Disease Support and Research Association and our
Midwest chapter will be hosting the 6th annual conference for BDSRA in
i
�Chicago (Downer's Grove) on Friday, August 5, Saturday, August 6 and
Sunday, August 7 of this year. We are extending this invitation
internationally and are anticipating approximately 150 families and at least
ten doctors to attend representing the USA, Finland, Denmark, England,
Australia and maybe others.
Our goal in this group is to find the genetic defect isolate it and develop a
test for carriers and ultimately, find a cure. This process takes a lot of time,
dedication, research, money and the lives of our children... literally.
We have not reached our goal yet, but we arefightingand we are getting
closer.
On our conference agenda we will have a doctor's symposium and research
update, along with various speakers on a multitude of topics including
adaptations, educational rights, resources available, physical and speech
therapy, seizures, bereavement, stress management and special sibling
sessions for our unaffected children. As a group we will share methods of
Cdti$ Cdpimg a n d crthor a r o a » o f family intoroot as w e l l as present a united
effort to promote and support Batten's Disease research worldwide.
However, we are in need of a speaker on Health Care and that is where you,
Mr. President, enter the picture. One of the most overwhelming aspects of
Batten's Disease is the total destruction of our "miracle" babies and
witnessing their slow but imminent death. Medical tests, adaptations, heallh
care, home health services and medications have taken their toll on all of us
financially We are overwhelmed with medical bills. Several of our families
have lost health insurance coverage. Most parents are strapped to their
present job because if one left for a promotion or different position the price
would be too high to pay...health coverage for their Batten's children. Onr
pleas forfinancialassistance are tossed around amongst so many different
agencies often with no end result. Thefrustrationsare insurmountable.
For this reason, I am writing to you. I realize that you are a very busy
individual but I'm asking you to please consider attending our conference
for any amount of time you could spare. Will you, Mr. Clinton? Would
you address our conference as a guest speaker on how the health care reform
program will affect us? We would be most honored.
�We, asfloundering,desperate parents need to know and be assured of
receiving health care at a rate we can afford. We need more research, not
cutbacks. We would like to knowfirst-handhow the rare diseases are going
to be affected by your Health Care Reform plans. Won't you please consider
our request?
Please read the enclosed brochure on Batten's Disease. We as a group
would be very flexible and accommodating to you. We are grasping at
straws, our children are dying. We are desperate, yet determined, to tight
this cause.
Please say you will come, even if it would only be brief amount of time.
Thank vou.
Sincerely,
Barbara J Bonnell

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) is holding its Tenth National
Membership Meeting^j^gust^-M^^at the Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, California.
LCLAA is the Hispanic support group of the AFL-CIO and speaks on behalf of 1.2 million
Hispanic working men and women who are members of AFL-CIO unions.
One of the most critical issues facing Hispanics in the United States, and indeed all Americans,
is the lack of universal health care. We have been impressed and profoundly moved by your
extraordinary efforts on behalf of health care reform which we strongly support.
Accordingly, we would be greatly honored if you could find time from your extremely busy
schedule to address our convention. We are prepared to accommodate your appearance subject to
your schedule. Your speaking at our convention would give greatly needed recognition to the
nation's Hispanic community.
We are expecting over a thousand Hispanic trade unionists from all over the United States.
We hope and pray that you will join us in San Jose.
Sincerely,
Ralph F. Jimenez
National President

Dear Ms. Clinton;
It is with great pleasure that I extend to you an invitation to address the 1994
Convention of the Texas Women's Political Caucus (TWPC) on the issue "The Health
Care Debate: Where Do Women Stand?" The TWPC is a non-partisan, grassroots
organization dedicated to electing and appointing more women to public office and
increasing women's participation in the political process. You are an inspiration to the
women of Texas; and it would be a great honor to hear you speak as hundreds of Texas
women gather to celebrate our accomplishments and work to make the future a better
place for women.
The theme of this year's convention is "The Pipeline to Power" in recognition of
the women who have worked through the system from local government to national
government. We will honor those women who have forged the path, and prepare those
women who will follow.
The convention will be held August 5-7,1994 in Dallas, Texas. The address is
tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 6, at 3:30 PM. We expect 300 of Texas' most
politically active women to attend. Although the dates of the convention cannot be
changed, our schedule is still flexible, and we would be happy to discuss alternate
times if your schedule will not permit you to attend Saturday.
If you have any questions or need further information, please call Jenn Hoff,
TWPC Executive Director at 512/326-2282. Thank you for your consideration. We
look forward to hearingfromyou soon.
Very truly yours,
Emestine Glossbrenner
President, TWPC

Joe Trahem, Political Affairs
RE:
Texas Women's Political Caucus Convention (August 5-7)
The Texas Women's Political Caucus (TWPC) will be holding its annual convention in
Dallas, TX August 5-7, 1994. The TWPC is a non-partisan, grassroots organization
dedicated to electing and appointing more women to public office and increasing women's
participation in the political process. The group expects approximately 300 politically active
women to attend.
The group invited the First Lady to address the convention on the topic "The Health Care
Debate: Where Do Women Stand?" The First Lady will be unable to attend but we think
this looks like a meritorious event that might be worth a sending a surrogate. That address
is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 6 at 3:30 p.m. but the timetable can be altered
within the three-day convention schedule as necessary.
Do you have any thoughts on Administration speakers we might be able to get for this
event? Please give me a call on this when you have a moment. I can be reached at ext. 65237.
If you would like to discuss this event with a contact at the TWPC, you can call Jenn Hoff,
the group's executive director, at 512/326-2282.

The Honorable William Jefferson Clinton
President of the United States
White House
Washington, D. C.
Dear President Clinton:
The National Black Nurses' Association, Inc. has been involved in several briefings
on Health Care Reform at the White House and the Old Executive Office Building over the
past year. We have supported your plan in meetings throughout the United States with
consumers and professional nurses. We are concerned about the health care needs of
African Americans and how the restuctured Health Care program will affect AfricanAmerican nurses, and consumers. Because of this concern, we have dedicated our Annual
National Conference to this subject.
The theme of our 22nd National Institute and Conference is "National Black Nurses
Association, Inc.: Preparing for the Restructured Health Care Delivery System". This
year's Conference will be held July 31-August 3, 1994 at the Mirage in Las Vegas. We
would be delighted to have you, the President of the United States, deliver remarks on this
subject at our Conference at 10:00 a.m., August 3, 1994. Or, we could arrange our
program to accommodate you at any time on July 31, August 1, 2, or 3. Realizing that
your calendar may not allow for your attendance, we would welcome your designate.
Should your staff require further information, please contact our Executive Director,
Sadako S. Holmes at (202) 393-6870. Thank you for considering this engagement.

Also, we plan to visit organizations and speakers in an attempt to understand the
issues of discussions more deeply. In D.C. region, we decided that the ongoing
issue of national health care reform is the most relevant theme, and all of the
members enthusiastically agreed that your presence will encourage our learning
experience most. As such, knowing how engaged you are, I would like to ask for
your participation in our discussion of health care reform as a speaker in the
afternoon of August 3. Beyond the issue of health care, you will inspire future
leaders both in Japan and the United States, those who have always admired your
determination, energy, and strength for change.

I am a member of the American Executive Committee and the coordinator of the
Health and Society Table for the JASC. Among a number of programs that we
have planned, table discussions are the most significant in the conference. All
members are required to prepare two hour presentations, and we have chosen
topics such as health care system, birth control, aging, and preventive medicine.
Through these discussions, we intend to understand shared problems between
Japan and the United States, while seeking alternatives to our own problems.

On behalf of the 46th Japan-America Student Conference(JASC), I take the
liberty of writing you, a successful First Lady and Chair of President's Task
Force on National Health Care Reform. To briefly describe the conference, it is a
sixty-year-old annual forum for some 80 Japanese and American university
students to exchange ideas and become better informed about each other. Meeting
alternately in Japan and the U.S., this year, the venues are university campuses
in the U.S., including The American University here in Washington, Wake Forest
University in North Carolina, Columbia University in New York City, and the
University of Washington in Seattle.

Dear Ms. Clinton:
Throughout the Administration's pursuit of healthcare reform speakers such as yourself and Ira Magaziner
have endorsed the appropriate use of medical technology as a cost effective solution to healthcare
problems. As a trade association for the healthcare industry. Medical Alley holds the same opinion.
Our purpose in writing is to strongly encourage yourself, or some other member of the
Administration, to speak at our conference on technology assessment on Tuesday,
August 2, 1994, as a show of support for both medical technology and the small
entrepreneurial start-up companies that contribute so much to technology innovation. The
conference is being held from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (a copy of the conference brochure is enclosed). Of
course, should you decide to attend, the agenda would be modified to accommodate whatever time you
might be available that day to address our members.
Medical Alley is a trade association with more than 250 membersfromall aspects of the healthcare
industry. Its driving force is Minnesota's medical device and healthcare product manufacturers. Our
members from this particular sector of the industry rangefromlarge companies to the small entrepreneurial
start-ups that some critics feel could be damaged under healthcare reform. Our membership also includes
those who deliver healthcare, research facilities, biotechnology organizations, Integrated Service Networks
(ISNs), and other companies and organizations sharing an interest in a strong and growing healthcare
industry.
Attached is a copy of Medical Alley's Technology Task Force Report that was developed by senior
healthcare professionals from all sectors of the industry for your use.
Thank you in advance for your consideration of our request. Should you decide that this is an invitation
that you are able to accept we would need to know the degree to which you would want media coverage.
Sincerely,
nm Stice
Chairman of the Board
Medical Alley

Dear Ms. Clinton:
At the urging of Sara Ehrman and Governor Richard Celeste, we are forwarding you
a copy of the most recent edition of The American Scene, the main publication of
Hadassah's domestic advocacy department.
On behalf of Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America, we recently
attended a DNC-sponsored seminar for Jewish leaders on the Health Security Act.
During the course of this meeting both Sara Ehrman and Governor Celeste viewed the
publication and thereafter urged us to forward you a copy. We certainly hope you find
the publication of interest.
On quite a different note, we would like to take this opportunity to once again extend
an invitation to you to address the 2,500 delegates who will be attending Hadassah's
80th Annual National Convention in New York City. Specifically we would be honored
to have you address our delegates on the issue of health care reform at the Gala
Banquet Session scheduled for Tuesday evening, August 2, 1994.
We look forward to receiving your acceptance of our invitation.
With all good wishes.

Dear Mrs. Rodham Clinton,
as the daughter of Albert Schweitzer, I am happy that you have accepted
the Albert Schweitzer Leadership Award of the Hugh O'Brian Youth
Foundation.
My father would have been proud of you for your concern and your
efforts to make health care accessible to everybody in the USA.
The Albert Schweitzer Institute for the Humanities, an organization
dedicated to advancing the philosophy, ideals and humanitarianism of Albert
Schweitzer, shares these concerns, and with the co-sponsorship of Yale
University is preparing an international symposium dealing with those
problems of health care which face us today and which in his time faced my
father in Africa. There, the hospital he founded in Lambarlne, Gabon has
served the population of the province of Moyen Ogooue for the past 80 years
and continues to do so. In light of this, we have entitled the Symposium,
"Reverence for Life: Albert Schweitzer and Global Health from Lambar£ne to
the 21st Century."
We would consider it a great honor and would be deeply grateful if you
could find the time in your very demanding schedule to join us for a short
opening address on Wednesday, August 3rd, 1994 in New Haven, Connecticut.
I am enclosing information about the Albert Schweitzer Institute for the
Humanities and the Symposium, both of which will show you how much we
share your concerns.
Thanking you for your consideration and hoping that you will be able to
join us,
sincerely,

Dear Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Enclosed is the video taping of the Western Summit on Indian Health
Care Reform held in Salt Lake City last November. Each tape is two hours long
and covers the majority of the two and a half day Summit. An index for the
tapes is included.
I feel the comments from the open microphone session were
enlightening and truly showed the wide array of challenges we will be facing as
we move forward with health care reform. The recommendations from the small
work groups are contained in the final report of the Western Summit. If you
have not received a copy of the report and would like one, please contact me.
We are in the planning stages of the 2nd Annual Western Summit on
Indian Health Care Reform to be held in August in Salt Lake City. We will be
sending you an announcement in the near future. It is our hope that you will be
able to join us this year.
I hope you find the tapes helpful as another resource for hearing from
people in Indian Country discussing and sharing concerns about health care
reform.
Sincerely,
Judy Edwards

The President

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
As the debate about health care reform intensifies, Baptist Health System of
Birmingham is pleased to extend to you an invitation to visit our facilities and observe
our efforts at health care reform on the local level. Could we suggest a July or August
visit to coincide with the health care reform floor debate?
To eliminate duplication of services, Baptist Health System has consolidated several
departments at our two tertiary care medical centers in Birmingham, and we have
earmarked increased resources to our system of primary care clinics. We have teamed
with the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital to offer primary care and
OB/GYN services to a coalition of the city's major employers and we expect additional
contracts.
To quality for tax exemption, your Health Security Act would require not-for-profit
health care organizations to assess the needs of their communities and adopt a plan to
meet those needs. We support such accountability and believe that it defines a principle
to which all not-for-profit health care providers should be held.
As a not-for-profit organization, we believe very strongly that we should return as
much as possible to the community. For example, for the past 18 months, we have
operated Tot Shots, a childhood immunization program that pre-dates your
administration's Childhood Immunization Initiative. Thus far, we have provided free
immunizations to more than 500 Jefferson County children. And we plan to team with
Girls, Inc., a local United Way agency, to provide free, community-based health care
to a group of young women aged 10-14 in a low-income neighborhood. We feel that
by combining free health care with classes in nutrition, sex education and other areas,
we can have a positive impact on these young women in later life. That, in turn, will
lead to healthier lifestyles for their spouses and children. We also have an aggressive
community outreach program that arranges homeowners workshops for those who live
near our facilities and helps them obtain home loans and with credit counseling.
�The President
June 10, 1994
Page Two
Baptist Health System offers a full, integrated continuum of health services to the
people of Birmingham and Northern Alabama. The system includes nine hospitals
(both urban and rural) with 2,003 beds and 1,418 physicians; seven skilled nursing
facilities with 353 beds; eight senior housing facilities with 547 units; three home care
and two hospice programs; more than 30 medical clinics with 104 physicians, and 13
pastoral counseling locations.
Our Mission Statement says: "As a witness to the love of God, revealed through Jesus
Christ, the Baptist Health System is committed to enhance the health, dignity and
wholeness of those we serve through compassionate care, innovation and performance,
education and research."
Medicine is the leading employer in Birmingham and we would welcome an opportunity
to showcase our health care system, the only one in the state and one of the largest in
the Southeast. We think government, business and health care leaders from the entire
area would welcome the chance to meet with you and express their views on health care
reform, and the Baptist Health System would be pleased to host such a forum. And we
think the rest of the country would be interested in what is happening in health care in
Birmingham.
We would like to invite you to Legion Field for a Tide/Razorbacks football game, but
unfortunately, this year's game is in Fayetteville.
Respectfully,
Dennis A. Hall, F.A.C.H.E.

Dave Hunter from Vice President Gore's office gave me your name and said you
may be able to help us secure a guest speaker for our upcoming event. When we
spoke a few weeks ago about the event, you requested that I put the details in
writing and fax them to you. So here they are... I have put them in an outline
format so it is easier to read and understand.
Who Are We:
We are a multi-specialty group practice of over 30 physicians and specialists in
Southern Maryland, We have been successful in merging rural country doctors
with foreign physicians and specialists who work hand in hand with our local
hospitals and community to provide the best medical care possible. The once small
practice has grown tremendously in preparation for upcoming changes in Health
Care. We are celebrating our 20th annivereary this year and instead of having a
celebration to honor our success, we want to put the focus of our event on the
community, its' needs and ways to upgrade its' resources. We also feel that because
we are the largest medical care provider in the tri-counly arca(with 9 medical
facilities) it is ourresponsibilityto educate the community on Health Care i&sues.
Wc would Hke to use this event to educate the community on all the aspects of
Health Care Reform and how it will affect them as rural Americans. So,
What is the Purpose of Our Event:
The event will be a medical/charity balsas formal as you can be at the Hollywood
Fire House) with the theme • " Meeting the needs of die Community for over 20
Years". At this event we will have cocktail hour allowing time for mingling and
dmnerfby the Lady's Auxiliary)with the guest lecturer speaking at this time. Prior to
the event, we will challenge each charitable organization to raise up to Fifty
Thousand Dollar*. We win match their e£fOft» with equal monetary gifts. We hope
with our combined efforts, we will be able to raise overffffif,flundr&d Thousand
Dollars for our community. During dessert each charitable organization win be
recognized with these monetary awards and additional gifts for those groups with
the most creative and innovative means of providing community service. These
extra effort awards will be sponsored by die pharmaceutical companies wc work
�Pg.2
Shah Aasociatea, MD., P.A.
Medical Charity Ball
What is the Purpose of Our Event: cntd.
with. We will also applaud the efforts of local heroes whose efforts often go
unnoticed. After the community tribute, dancing will begin.
Who Will Attend:
We estimate over 500 guests will attend. The guest hX will include. C.E.O.'s of
s
local Businesses and their Benefits Managers, Physicians, Surgeons and Specialists,
Afficd Health Care Staff, Representatives from the Health Insurance and
Pharmaceutical Industries, Hospital Board Memben, State & County Officials,
RepresentativesfromLocal Charitable Organizations, Foreign Dignitaries, Patuxent
River Naval Air Station Representatives, Involved Community Leaders, Local
Heroes, Shah Associates and Employees, Family and Friends. This group will be a
cross-section of rural Americans both Mue collar and white collar workers who will
be very interested in how upcoming Health Care Reform will benefit or hurt them.
What an ideal forum for the President to clarify misconceptions and promote his
plan. We are right in the White House Backyard but worlds away in terms of our
understanding of Health Care Reform. This event is diefirstof its kind in our area
and by having a successful event thisfirstyear we can guarantee a means of
annually getting together to learn andreplenishour communities resources.
What do We Want and Why is This Request so Important:
Our are*(Charles, St Mary's and Calvert Counties) has had such tremendous
growth over the past few yean. Unfortunately, donations from the business
community have not kept pace. We feel it is a lack of community awareness not a
lack offinancialresources. We hope to entice other businesses who gain financially
from the area to become more accountable and encourage them to start giving
something back. The bigger the crowd the better the charities will fait. That is
why the magnitude of (he speaker is so important. In fact, the more visible the
speaker the higher attendance expected. We would Hke to formatty request either
President or Mrs. Clinton. I am afraid that the others directly involved with Health
Care Reform like...Ira Magaziner or Harold Ickes would not be widely recognizable
names to a large percentage of our populous.
I am sure you are bombarded everyday with a million requests for appearances and
I am sure each and everyone is important to the person who submits h. But I feel
like we are so close to the issues, but still so far removedfromanyone's concerns or
care*. We would enjoy the opportunity to share our ideas and Hst«n to
Washington's plans for us in a warm and welcoming setting with good causes
benefitingfromthe entire event. I hope you can help us. As far as a date, we
have left this open in order to ensure better ci ces of getting a more visible
speaker. PI
can if you r

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage.

Administration Speaker
On Monday, June 13, 1994, Congressman Dennis Hasten will be chairing a health care
conference entitled "HEALTH CARE REFORM '94: The Emerging Bipartisan Consensus"
which will be held at the Pheasant Run Convention Center & Resort in St. Charles, Illinois. We
would be honored to have a speaker from the administration participate in this event.
The conference will bring together a diverse group of state and federal leaders in health
care, business, and government to analyze the major proposals before the Congress in light of
Illinois' health care needs. The goal is to outline the President's and other national proposals
in detail, so that the citizens of Illinois have a complete understanding of future legislation. The
forum will also give a status report on current understanding of the debate and the successes and
frustrations of the current health care system.
We hope that a member of the administration will partake in this debate and offer his
insights on national health reform and the development and proposed implementation of the
Clinton Health Security Act. The audience will be interested in understanding the President's
plan and how it will affect their quality of care. The presentation is scheduled to begin at 11:00
a.m. and will allow 20-30 minutes to address the nuts and bolts of the President's plan. Time
for questions from the audience will be also be available. The speaker may take questions at
his/her discretion. Please see the agenda for further information.
As always, the involvement of the administration helps to ensure the success of the

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The Columbia Institute is the principal sponsor of a conference in St. Charles, Illinois on
Monday, May 23, 1994 entitled "HEALTH CARE REFORM '94: The Emerging Bipanisan Consensus."
The event will be chaired by Congressman Dennis Hastert. Your presentations at our recent events with
Senator Boren and Congressman Bacchus were extremely well received. We would be pleased and
honored to have you participate as one of the principal speakers at Congressman Hastert's event as well.
As you know, health care reform is the most important domestic issue to face the country and
the Congress in this decade. To be successful, efforts to reform the health care system must gain the
support of an Informed public and a bipartisan coalition in Congress.
Therefore, the Congressman is chairing the forum in order to give the people of Illinois an
opportunity to examine the issues and participate in the process. Your insight as a key spokesperson on
the health care debate would prove invaluable to the business leaders, policy makers, educators, health
care professionals and consumers expected to attend the forum. We hope the conference will promote
a better understanding of health care issues and address the variety of policy options facing Congress and
our states.
The conference will be held at the Pheasant Run Convention & Resort Hotel in St. Charles,
Illinois. The program will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude by 2:30 p.m. Please see the attached draft
agenda for further information. We are expecting an audience of approximately 250 people.
Your participation will ensure the success of this project, and we sincerely hope that you will be
able to join us. If you have any further questions regarding the program, please don't hesitate to call me
at 202-547-2470. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

RE:
Health Care Reform Speaker for Public Voice June 13-14 Conference
Public Voice, one of the more influential consumer health advocacy organizations,
both on Capitol Hill and with the media, holds an annual conference on child health
and nutrition. This year, as the attached program indicates, they arefocusingon the
potential benefits to children of health care refomv
Based on what I have seen at the previous conferences in this series, the audience
will be 350-400 people, including representatives of national and grassroots
consumer and environmental organizations, public health officials and academics,
preschool and school administrators and educators, Hill staffers, food industry
specialists, and media reporters.
Originally they invited Mrs. Clinton to keynote the conference and, while that inviiation
was pending, Secretary Shalala to keynote the second day. By the time Mrs.
Clinton's office declined, Secretary Shalala, who had accepted the invitation for the
14th, was locked into a commitment for the 13th and could not switch.
Public Voice now is looking for a White House person, knowledgeable about the
Administration's proposal and its potential impact on child health, to keynote the
conference. In view of the audience, the conference'sfocus,and the significance of
the organization, this appears to be a good opportunity to promote the President's
initiative.

Re: ^-National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAlC)
SummhiMeeting June 12-15
you were not aware of this, the NAIC will be holding its summer meeting
June 12-15.
The meeting is expected to draw approximately one thousand participants. The participants
will include State Insurance Commissioners and staff, State Legislators who are active on
insurance related matters. Foreign Insurance Regulatory Officials, Insurance Company
Officers, Trade Association Representatives, and members of the Insurance Press.
Since these participants are actively interested in Health Care issues, I wondered whether
someone representing the Administration might want to make a presentation aTthis
megtingL If so, I would be happy to assist you. If you would like, 1 could suggest to you
officials at the NAIC, as well as Insurance Commissioners who are known to the
Administration, who may be interested in participating in such an event
Please let me know if this is something which you would like to pursue.
Hope that all is well with you, and that you found some time to enjoy the Cherry Blossoms
and Spring activities.
Best regards.

a variety of programs and services that are available to assist Arkansas' rural communities and
their leaders with development, planning, and revitalization efforts.

If at all possible, we would appreciate your commitment to speak at the Opening Plenary Session

Thank you for your consideration with this important matter. If the above time slot does not

Member Services
The activities of the Association in the previous year have focused on providing enhanced
benefits to members, and on increasing the effectiveness of communications between the Regions, Chapters and Sections.
Through the efforts of many volunteers at the local and national levels, the Association has
seen revitalization of many previously inactive chapters. The Association's four Regions have
each held successful training programs, and the two sections (the Federal Section and the Assessment Council) have conducted annual conferences with "best-ever" attendance.
Also in 1993, the Association began providing "Special Bulletins" as appropriate, with select
issues of IPMA NEWS. These special reports, on a single "hot" and/or complex topic are included with the monthly newsletter to encourage information sharing among members and
member agencies. In addition, the Association has recently undertaken a Compensation &
Benefits survey project which will report data on 30 job titles, in various formats.
Government Affairs
The Association continued its active involvement in the legislative and regulatory process by
providing comments and testimony on pending legislation and regulations. The Association
also monitored judicial decisions that would have an impact on human resource management
The Association endorsed legislation that would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
to provide that an employer could deduct from the salary of an exempt employee for an absence of less than one day without losing the exemption. The Association also sent statements to Congress expressing support for legislation to: make permanent the exemption in
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act that allows jurisdictions to set maximum hiring
and mandatory retirement ages for public safety officers; extend Section 127 of the Internal
Revenue Code which allows employers to provide their employees with educational assistance
that does not have to be considered as income; amend Section 415 of the Internal Revenue
Code; index Section 457 deferred compensation plans; and reinstate bonuses and performance awards for federal employees.
The Association participated in the Employee Educational Assistance Coalition (which was
successful in obtaining an extension of Section 127), the Police Officers' Bill of Rights Coalition, the Section 415 Coalition, and the ADEA Coalition.
The Association monitored a number of important judicial decisions including United States
Supreme Court decisions on sexual harassment, intentional discrimination, age discrimination, and FLSA compensatory time.
�Assessment Services
In 1993, the Association continued the revision of two entry-level firefighter examinations
and one correctional officer examination, began development of a new radio dispatcher examination, and began production of audio versions of all IPMA's entry-level examinations. The
new and revised tests will be added to the current inventory of over 25 public sector examinations.
in
For 1994, in addition to continued exam development, the Assessment Services Department
will begin expanding and enhancing the technical information that accompanies each entrylevel and promotional test-making the Association's public testing services among the most
varied and comprehensive in the country.
Publications
The Association has recently expanded the scope of titles carried in the "IPMA Bookstore" to
include such new works as "The Handbook of Training & Development in the Public Sector"
and "The Performance Edge: New Strategies to Maximize Your Work Effectiveness." In addition, the Association continues to provide expanded coverage of legislative affairs, and personal, regional, sectional and chapter news in the monthly IPMA NEWS. Recent efforts with
regard to Public Personnel Management have included the solicitation of additional practitioner-related and "how-to" articles for the journal.
The success of these programs and projects is due to the support, involvement and dedication
of many Association members. The continuing commitment of the Association's members and
leadership is an excellent example of the successes that can be accomplished through teamwork.

I Case Study: The Portland Clinic's
Physician Performance Guidelines
Meryl D. Luallin, Sullivan/Luallin
J . Michael S c h w a b , MBA, The Portland
Clinic
In 1992, The Portland Clinic developed and
implemented physician performance guidelines
in non-clinical areas. This session will describe
why the guidelines were developed, the steps
taken to generate the system, how the guidelines are used to evaluate physician performance, and the lessons learned throughout the
project.
II Chaos, Crisis And Opportunity In The
Health Care Marketplace: Where Is The
Public Interest?
Molly Joel C o y e , MD, MPH, Health Dimensions Health System
As payors and providers consolidate in the
crucible of market-driven reform, competition
and the capital requirements for reform of the
delivery system are producing new healthcare
organizations not contemplated by Ira
Magaziner. In this tumultuous marketplace, can
we discern types of organizations and incentives which will serve—or threaten—the
public's health?
IIIDesfgn/ng Strategic Partnerships
Thomas L. Kelly, Westport Healthcare
Management Inc.
This presentation will focus on the opportunities
available to groups to develop strategic partnerships with hospitals, health systems or payors,
both as a source of significant capital and the
basis for a long-term cooperative relationship
that yields improved quality and efficiency.
Recent transactions will be examined and
discussed, including health system and equity
models, as well as insurance product and
business joint ventures, with the strategic and
operating advantages and disadvantages of
each model evaluated.
IV
Health System Reform: Organized
Systems of Care
Mary Jane England, MD, Washington
Business Group On Health
The purpose of this session is to produce an
understanding of health system reform through
an assessment of organized systems of care
(OSC) and accountable health plans (AHP) and
their relationship to "managed competition."
This insight will allow participants to evaluate
their reaction to managed competition as the
basis for health system reform legislation.
V Integrating Behavioral a n d Medical Care
John R. Sherman, PhD, Behavioral
Health Medical Corporation
The UMGA medical groups have a unique
opportunity to set "the standard" for healthcare
integration. The integrated model being developed by Behavioral Health Medical Corporation
has generated national interest. Through integration of medical and behavioral healthcare the
quality of care improves and costs are reduced.

revenue enhancement and medical management concerns), selection of an appropriate
health plan financial partner (financial, premium,
product development, market-share, contract
and medical/loss ratio evaluation), selection of
an appropriate health plan administrative partner
(experience of personnel, marketing capability,
administrative capacity), and an identification of
alternative health plan partners currently available.
XII Improving Quality To Reduce Costs
Susan D. Horn, PhD, Intermountain
Health Care
How can we significantly reduce the cost of
health care? Many ideas, including rationing,
have been suggested. But enormous savings
can be achieved if we determine the optimal
processes of care for each condition over the
continuum of care, i.e., those processes that
achieve optimal outcomes for the least necessary cost. This session will describe clinical
practice improvement (CPI) studies for determining optimal processes of care. The essential
features of CPI studies include measuring
patient factors using physiologic severity of
illness criteria for each disease, process factors,
and outcomes. Examples from inpatient and
ambulatory settings and a study on restrictive
HMO pharmacy formularies and their relation to
healthcare outcomes will be presented.
XIII Maximizing Physician/Patient
Communication
Dennis W. Cope, MD, University of
California, Los Angeles Medical School
Sponsored by Farmers Group of
Insurance Companies
This presentation will address the importance of
effective and efficient physician/patient communication. It will focus on developing skills to
maximize communication, thereby improving
the accuracy of physician diagnosis, patient and
physician satisfaction with care, and patient
outcomes.
XIV Medical Policy Advisory
Committee
Panel
Margaret D. Bischel, MD, Buenaventura
Medical Clinic
Stephen C . Deutsch. MD, Medical Group
of Beverly Hills
G . Michael Riewe, MD, MHA, Riverside
Medical Clinic
Richard D. Wesley, MD, Mullikin
Medical Center
The UMGA Medical Policy Advisory Committee
was formed in 1993 to address issues that
affect the practice of medicine, to develop
written clinical guidelines on clinical issues, to
influence the development of benefits and to
develop clarifications and definitions of benefit
questions. Committee members will discuss
the process for creating the guidelines, and
several of the guidelines, recently developed or
currently under development, will be presented.
The session will conclude with an open discussion.
XV Purchasers' Requirements From
Health Plans
William J . G o s s , Value Health
Management
Increasingly, major purchasers of healthcare
services are looking to determine and derive
enhanced value from their healthcare programs.
Employers, business coalitions and purchasing
alliances increasingly require that health plans
demonstrate "accountability." This presentation
will focus on clarifying purchasers' needs for
health plan accountability in several areas:
information, quality management, customization/flexibility, proprietary/public disclosure,
and partnership and supplier relationships.

Dear Ms. Wellford:
I just spoke with Walter Zelman about our invitation to address UMGA's Annual
Membership Meeting in San Diego. (Please see attached letter to you, dated February 15,
1994.)
Three members of the Jackson Hole Group (Paul Ellwood, Alain Enthoven, and Terry
Hartshorn) will speak to over 1,200 managed care physicians and executives. This
meeting will afford Mr. Zelman the opportunity to articulate The President's health care
proposal to an influential group of health care professionals who are pioneering managed
care and caring for over 3,000,000 Americans.
If sufficient funding for this trip is not available, Mr. Zelman indicated that he would be
willing to speak to our group via satellite hook-up, if his schedule permits. (He would,
however, prefer to enjoy the sunny, dry Southern California climate while visiting with
his daughter.)
Mr. Zelman is an excellent speaker. (I heard him at Faulkner & Gray's conference last
week at the Mayflower Hotel.) Give him a break...please let him come!
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Alan R. Zwemer, M.D., J.D.

Dear Ms. Wellford:
We are most interested at the prospect of retaining Mr. Walter Zelman to speak at
Unified Medical Group Association's Nineteenth Annual Membership Meeting.
Mr. Zelman's presentation time would be scheduled for Sunday, June 12, 1994
from 8:35 a.m. to 9:20 a.m. at the Hyatt Regency in San Diego, California.
This year's theme is "Quest for Quality" and we feel the distinctive audience has
much to gain from Mr. Zelman's insight and vast experience in the healthcare field
- especially from his position as Senior Advisor to the Presidential Task force on
Health Reform. Mr. Zelman's educational and professional background in
California lends a particular understanding to the audience consisting of
approximately 1,200 progressive medical directors and administrators dedicated to
excellence in prepaid healthcare services delivery. 60% of the audience will be
physicians with the majority practicing in California.
If he agrees to speak, Mr. Zelman would be included in the agenda boasting Mr.
Paul Ellwood, Mr. Alain Enthoven and Terry Hartshorn of the Jackson Hole
Group as well as Mr. Gary Mendoza, Commissioner of the Department of
Corporations. Mr. James Reinertsen will also be presenting.

Dear Mr Thornton:
The Baltimore Times is a community newspaper working to bring positive change to the black
communities of Maryland. Its motto, "positive stories about positive people," captures its ethos.
The Times has identified "health issues" for concentrated attention. To that end, our second
annual Health Expo/Quality of Life Festival is planned for June 11, 1994.
The Expo will be directed at black Americans and the focus will be on Black Wellness. The
basic idea of the Expo is to make "good health" popular and attractive by providing information
in a non-threatening setting.
Mondawmin Mall is a hub for the black community. It is considered a high fashion mall and lots
of young African Americans shop there. The importance of health information getting to trie
people who really need it cannot be overemphasized. We must take the message to the peopile,
where they are. We are attempting to reach this group in particular as they are often very cavalier
about their health.
We have had tremendous response from the community. All the local hospitals and relevant
government agencies are involved. Our health insen is being written by a team fromfivelocal
hospitals. It will address African American health problems from a prevention and health
promotion angle. We know that the insert will become a keepsake as it is going to be a
comprehensive guide to all the available health resources in the Baltimore Metro area. It will l>e
saved and used as a reference for the future.
The success of last year's Expo proved to us that the time is right for such an Expo and everyone
who seeks to promote health services to the community should take part Efforts like these ctn
encourage better health habits among minority populations while increasing exposure to your
products and services.
We will appreciate your participation. We are excited about the opportunity to promote services

The Baltimore Times
The Baltimore Times Health Expo
"The Quality of Life Family Fun Festival""
we observe and listen to the facts and opinions about the frightening state of
health of Black Americans today, we are moved to ask why? And then after finding no clear rationale for the current state of affairs, we ask how we can help to
alleviate this fundamental gap in health care, the rising incidence of illnesses
and the deficit in personal awareness of the consequences of poor health among
African Americans.
A
Blacks suffer in disproportionate numbers from a variety of diseases and illnesses whidt less
significantly affect the general population. For example, high blood pressure and cancel aire
endemic health concerns of Blacks. Even more alan^iing is the fact that this disquieting trend
seems to be moving in a negative spiral. These factors dearly indicate that a crisis exists in
health care for the minority community in general and blacks in particular. While there
needs to be specific and short term solutions there also must be long-term education and
more attention focused on preventative and alternative healing.
Community focus must be on Black Wellness. We must demonstrate to black people that
wellness is vital to their future and continued survival.
It is well established that African Americans continue to suffer and die from diseases that
have been eradicated or controlled in other populations. In The Baltimore Times publications our health stories often evoke phone calls and letters thanking us for information and
seeking to find further contacts and treatments. Somewhere down the line the Health
Revolution passed blacks by. Blacks continue the same negative health habits. We have to
find a way to make health attractive and popular to the African American community.
Advertisements showing people exercising, jogging, eating healthy foods, diet plans all have
white models. The silent message being sent to blacks is that they should not be interesttid or
concerned about their health.
A Health Expo directed at blacks and providing information in a fun and non threatening
way is a start. We have to try a variety of means to make blacks take notice of all the heaIth
information and services that are available.
The Baltimore Times publications have been able to reach people whom many have said £ire
unreachable. We preach a concept of "the positive" in the community and people trust tliai:
what we promote is good for them. Last year's successful Expo proved us right and anyone
who seeks to promote health services to this community must take part. This opportunity is
too good to be missed!

Special Health Insert
The Baltimore Times will publish a Special Health Insert on August 2, 1993 to coincide with its
Health Expo at Mondawmin Mall.
Focusing on Health Promotion and Prevention, we will discuss the diseases that most alfect
African Americans offering suggestions and solutions to the varying problems. We will stress
how to avoid getting these diseases as well as how to get well.
With contributions from the varying hospitals and medical facilities in the Baltimore Metro Area,
this special issue will be unique. It will be a comprehensive guide to the services and resources
that are available and as a "pull-out" it will most likely be kept by readers to serve as an instant
reference. Written by experts in layman's language, our readers will find answers to health
questions and more importantly will discover where they can receive the medical services (hey
need.
As a health service provider in Baltimore, you cannot afford to miss this opportunity to be
included in this one-of-a-kind Health Issue. Our readers expect valuable information from the
Baltimore Times Publications. They respond positively to the good information we make
available to them, and we will certainly like to offer you this opportunity to participate.

Health Expo '93 A Smashing Success:
"Over two thousand people attend the Quality of Life Family Festiival!"
Our first Health Expo: "Quality of Life Family Festival" was a great success. Over two thousand people turned up to getfreescreenings. The lines began to form an hour before the event
and we had to tum away many people at the end of the day. This more or less puts to rest the
idea that African Americans are not interested
in their health. At The Baltimore Times we
have always felt that with the right promotions,
blacks would respond to ideas on healthy
lifestyles and healthy habits.
Six local hospitals were sponsors: University
of Maryland Medical Systems, Maryland
General Hospital, Bon Secours Hospital, Liberty
Medical Center, Harbor Hospital and Johns
Hopkins Hospital, offering thirteen different
screenings, many of which have never been
offered at one place or at a health fair before.
We received quite a bit of press coverage.
WBAL -TV, Channel 11, the local CBS affiliate fed us into their Saturday morning news cast. In
addition, they interviewed Tonya Lee Williams our Soap Opera celebrity on their mcniing
show. WJZ -TV Channel 13, the local ABC affiliate covered the event in their afternoon newscast
Radio Station WWIN1400AM and Majic 95.6 had a live feed from the Mall. Their pmmotions
director was our M.C.forthe raffles. We had many on -air updates during the entire event.
We also had print coverage in The Baltimore Sun - the local daily, and The Baltibnoi-e Times,
The Shore Times and the Annapolis Times and a UMMS quarterly health magazine.
THE SPECIAL HEALTH INSERT published in The Baltimore Times was written by a team
of experts from the University of Maryland Medical Center and other local hospital; . It
addressed diseases that disproportionately affect African Americans from a preventative
angle. It included listings of all of the health services available in the Greater Baltimore Area..
We intend to build on this success and to create an even more exdting event on June 11,1994.
Our sponsors were overwhelmed by the tremendous response they received and have com
mitted to partidpating again this year. We already have many other partidpants for
Health Expo '94.

Mondawmin Health Expo
Draws 2,000
The University of Maryland Medical
Center joined forces with the Baltimore
Times newspaper and six other area hospitals to sponsor the "Quality of Life Family
Fun Festival" at Mondawmin Mall earlier
this summer.
"The Health Expo was a fun and
relaxed atmosphere in which to make
African-American families understand the
diseases they are at higherriskfor," said
Sa\1tri Belizaire, community relations
associate and the Expo's Medical Center
coordinator. She noted that sickle cell anemia, hypertension, stroke and breast cancer
are all more prevalent in AfricanAmericans than in the general population
and that African-Americans also have a
higher morbidity rate than the general population.
The Medical Center provided screenings
for cholesterol, sickle cell and hypertension,
as well as stroke assessments, cardiology
evaluations and free mammograms. Several
physicians, nurses and other staff were available throughout the day to answer questions
about health concerns.
"The Expo attracted 2,000 and was one
of the most successful health fairs we have
participated in," said Belizaire. "These numbers tell us that the community is understanding the importance of managing their
health."

Dear Mr. Magaziner,
On behalf of the American Medical Association (AMA), we would like to extend an
invitation for you to be our special guest at a meeting of the AMA on Saturday, June 11,
1994, in Chicago, Illinois, at the Chicago Hilton & Towers.
We hope that you might address the AMA Medical Schools Section and the Council on
Medical Education during a luncheon meeting at noon on that day, just prior to the annual
meeting of the AMA which begins on Sunday, June 12. The AMA's Medical Schools
Section consists of Deans and faculty members representing the 126 U.S. medical schools.
The Council on Medical Education is an AMA elected body responsible for all aspects of
medical and allied health education.
You could bring to these groups an important message on health system reform, with
perhaps references to the important role which U.S. medical schools/academic medical
centers play in our present system of health care, and how that role might be strengthened
and enhanced. With your unique background in the development of the President's
proposal on health system reform, your perspective on these issues would be extremely
valuable to this group.
Of course, we would also welcome your attendance at any subsequent portion of our AMA
annual meeting, which formally opens on Sunday, June 12, 1994, and continues through
Thursday, June 16, 1994, during which many important issues affecting the health care of
the public will be discussed.
�Mr. Ira Magaziner

We are fully aware of the many important commitments in your busy schedule, but
certainly hope you might be able to join us on that date.
If you or members of your staff have further questions about the appearance, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Ms. Craighead:
Our Hospital celebrates its 100th year of caring in 1994. Again and again, this
community has kept us going through the tough times, raising millions of dollars
over the years for its hospital. Our doors may never have opened if it had not been
for the area's residents.
Once the country's fastest growing city, McKeesport is a mill town that has never
given up. The demise of the steel industry dealt a crippling blow, but the
community took a deep breath and kept on fighting.
Today, McKeesport Hospital is a strong health care provider. We are a 430-bed,
advanced teaching, community hospital located just southeast of Pittsburgh.
In March of this year, a member of our Centennial Committee invited Mrs. Hillary
Clinton to be the keynote speaker at our Centennial kickoff event. Since that time,
we have selected Saturday, June 11, 1994, as the day of our celebration. We
would be most grateful and honored to have Mrs. Clinton as the keynote speaker
on this very notable day.
I've enclosed a copy of the letter sent in March, along with a 1994 McKeesport
Hospital Centennial calendar. Please do not hesitate to call me at (412) 664-6755.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Craighead:
April of 1994 marks the centennial anniversary of McKeesport Hospital.
McKeesport Hospital is a 430-bed, community-founded, teaching hospital located
just southeast of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This health care facility is unique in that
its roots arefirmlyestablished within the community, yet, it maintains a progressive
approach in contemporary patient care.
With the current focus on health care in the United States, we feel it important to
demonstrate to the public, the shared objectives of McKeesport Hospital and that of
Mrs. Clinton for the delivery of optimal health care.
With this intent in mind, we respectfully request that Mrs. Clinton serve as our
keynote speaker at the centennial kickoff event on a date in April-of 1994 that is
convenient to her. It would be an honor and a privilege for us to share this
important milestone with Mrs. Clinton.
Please feel free ro contact me should you have any questions or need additional
information. I can be reached at (412)664-2174 in my office during the day or at
the letterhead address to the attention of the Director of EMS.
Thank you very much for your consideration.

Dear Walter:
I understand from Director Deborah Kallick that you expressed^ willingness to come
to UCLA on one of your next trips to California. Therefore, I would like to take this
opportunity to invite you to come speak at the UCLA Medical Center regamk&jhe current
status of the Administration's proposed health care plan. We would like you to address two
separate groups - our Board of Advisors and our Monthly Maxi Department Heads. An exact
date has not yet been selected as we plan to work with you in accommodating the needs of
your schedule. However, I am hoping that it can be agreed upon to have this meeting in June
or early July of this year.
The UCLA Medical Center, as well as myself, has many concerns and questions
regarding the White House's strategy in regards to health care; health alliances, alternative
approaches, budget caps and incentives to keep expenditures down, to name just a few. I feel
that by having you come to UCLA to address these topics, we can ease concerns and answer
questions among our medical community.
I have also asked Deborah to coordinate this visit with you. She can be reached at
(310) 825-8042. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions that you may have regarding
the invitation. I look forward to welcoming you to the UCLA Medical Center.

Health Care Reform Committee
Washington, DC
Attention: Speaker Bureau
I represent the restaurant concept know as Freshens Premium Yogurt and Ice Cream. We are an
Atlanta, Georgia based Franchisor of approximately 200 restaurants located around the United
States. Our Franchisee's are independent business owners that comefromvarious backgrounds,
as diverse as a State SenatorfromIndianapolis to a retired Industrialist in the north east.
As independent small business owners they (we) are very interested in the policies that will effect
thefinancialstrength of our business as well as the quality of life of ourselves and that of our
employees. Since Health Care is such a pressing issue I thought that a speakerfromyour
committee could be of great benefit to our business group. Because of the nature of our business
our Franchisee's are all very involved in their communities and in many instances are very
influential. Their understanding and support in the area of Health Care Reform could be very
beneficial.
Our national convention, which will begin on June 9th, and is being held in St. Petersburg,
Florida, would be a great forum to present the views of our government on this very important
issue.
Please consider this letter as a formal invitation and respond back to me as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation,
Sincerely,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Family Business Council of Greater
New York. The Family Business Council of Greater New York is a
non-profit organization for family members who, together, operate their
family owned business, 90% of businesses are family owned, yet only
13% of these businesses last through the third generation, and less than
two-thirds are passed on to the second generation. Thus the objective
and mission of the council is to provide a forum which addresses the
issues that arise and are key to survival in the daily operation of a family
owned business.

Ms. Lynn Margherio
Health Policy Advisor
The White House
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Ms. Margherio:
I am writing to invite you to speak to a group of Truman Scholars who will be participating
in the Truman Scholars Summer Institute hosted by the University of Southern California's
Washington Public Affairs Center. The date for your consideration is the morning of
Friday, June 10, 1994.
As you may be aware, the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation Was established by an
act of Congress in living memory to the late president. Elmer Staats chairs the Foundation,
which awards three-year scholarships to outstanding undergraduate students who have
exhibited leadership potential, academic achievement and the desire to pursue careers in
the public service. This summer we are offering an intensive classroom program for fifty
of the Scholars, followed by internship placements in federal agencies. Confirmed speakers
include Roger Wilkins, Cokie Roberts, Congressman Henry WaXman and Melanne Verveer.
The Scholars are extremely interested in learning more about the process by which the
President promotes his agenda to Congress and the American public, and would appreciate
hearing your observations about your experience with health care reform. The general
theme for the Summer Institute is "Making a Difference: Leadership for America's Future"
and any personal reflections about leadership that you would like to share with the group
would be appreciated as well.
Washington Public Affairs Center • 512 Tenth Street, NW • Washington, DC 20004-1401
(202) 638-4949 • (202) 347-3410 Fax
�It was my good fortune to hear you brief a group of undergraduates from USC this past
March. You were excellent, and I am certain the Scholars would greatly appreciate a
similar opportunity. They are an outstanding group of young men and women, and I think
you will find the interaction very enjoyable.
I know the demands on your time are many and truly appreciate your consideration of this
request. If you have any questions please call me at (202) 638-6541. I look forward to your
reply.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mr. Gnffin:
I ain writing today to request your assistance in securing a senior administicition
official to serve as keynote speaker al the Arizona State Bar Convention. The subject of the
address will be health care reform legislation and its prospects in lhe 103rd Congress.
The Conventioa will rake placs in Tucson, Arizona on June 9th. Mr. Richard Veloz,
White House Health Policy Advisor, would be an excellenl choice. He has been iuvited by
the Arizona State Bar but has not yet couunitted to attend.
Any help you could provide in this matter would be gneatly appreciated. I am
confident the convention organizers would be very pleased with the paiticipation of Mr.
Veloz. but perhaps you can suggest another potential speaker of equal caliber.
Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter. I greatly appreciate your
help.

Dear Suzanna,
The purpose of my letter is lo invite you to provide a speaker for the Market Research Association annua]
convention. 'Die convention is scheduled for the week of June 6, 1994 in New York City at the Waldorf
Astoria. We are specifically looking for a speaker on June 9, 1994 from 9:00 am to 10:00 am.
The Market Research Association (MRA) strives to secure the future of the Market Research industry
through a comprehensive effort to promote public awareness. The annual convention allows members of
the MRA tu gain information and understanding on many issues, including legislative, that affect the
industry, l he legislative topic that currently has the potential for enormous impact on our industry is that
of Health Care.
Among the 500-600 attendees of the convention, the majority are small business owners. Of those small
business owners a large percentage are women.
It will be considered a great honor and privilege to have a mernber of the Health Care Administration speak
to our members. I will expect a reply soon as I am hoping to finalize the guest speakers by the end of the
week.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
It was a privilege to hear you speak at the the Health Care Forum
held at the Florida Institute of Technology on Monday (2/14). I
attended this meeting as a consumer of health care, as a concerned
and interested citizen, and as a representative of the organization of
which I am president. I found it to be interesting, informative and
full of promise for all Americans.
Our organization, the Home Health Care Dealers Co-op (HHCDC)
represents over 120 independent HME/DME providers throughout
the nation. Home health care dealers provide equipment, supplies,
and services neccesary to facilitate independence and improve the
patients ability to live and function outside of the hospital
environment. The members of HHCDC are a microcosm of the entire
system of providers, covering general DME items to high tech life
sustaining equipment. In the United States there are more than
18,000 such businesses, most run by independent entrepenuers, like
ourselves. All of us, as you so well put it, will be affected by
whatever legislation Congress finally prepares.
For our Annual Convention last year your associate, Alan Hoffman,
provided us with a VCR program prepared by Mrs. Clinton to open
our meeting. It was very well received and set the tone for our
entire meeting.
We are currendy making plans for our Sixth Annual Convention and
Educational Conference and would like to invite you to be the
keynote speaker at our banquet (Thursday, 6/9). This years'
conference is scheduled for June S^i1J 1994, at the Buena Vista
Palace on Disney Property in Orlandt), Florida.

�Through our membership surveys, we have been able to select topics
of utmost importance to our members to guarantee maximum
participation. The number one topic for every respondent was health
care reform. Our main concern is sending our members home from
the Convention well informed and ready to conduct business in this
rapidly changing environment. Toward that end, we feel your
participation would be extremely beneficial.
Please review your schedule for June, then call to let us know if you
will be able to participate in our 1994 conference.

Agricultural Women's Forum, June 8-10, 1994
SUBJECT:
The Agricultural Women's Forum, (formerly the Farm Women's Forum) is being sponsored
by the Agricultural Women's Leadership Network (the group you spoke to in March). The
Forum at one time was sponsored by USDA and was transferred to private sector during
Secretary Lyng I think.
National Rural Health Summit/Hearing is being offered as a pre meeting event on the
afternoon of June 8, here at Jefferson Auditorium. Ellen agreed to host the event. I
understand that Mr. Steinholm and Mr. Roberts have agreed to participate. I think they may
have contacted the White House to invite the First Lady. The sponsoring group AWLN
represents over 1 million farm/rural women. So perhaps we can help get some good press
for USDA since it is at our house....

Dear Ms. Wellford:
As the current push for committee action on the health reform package enters a critical
countdown, and the potential for heaithteform to impact on workers' compensation
mounts, the National Association ot MsrfTufacturers is making plans to hold a legislative
briefing next week in Washington on( June 8, ljB94 focusing on "The Perspective on
Workers' Compensation from Inside
The briefing will be followed by a Congressional luncheon on the Hill and we would be
honored if Gary Claxton or another representative of the White House Health Reform
Taskforce would be able to join us to give a brief luncheon address to a constituency of
mid-to-large size employers from across the country, a number of whom may be
accompanied by their congressional representatives. (A partial list of attendees is
attached.) We will also be joined by Senator Arlen Specter.
We would welcome the opportunity to hear the White House's candid assessment of the
situation, both as It relates specifically to Title X, and to any other aspects of the health
reform plan that have the potential to impact workers' compensation.
Given the far-reaching implications which health reform holds for workers' compensation,
employers are understandably concerned about the realities of folding workers'
compensation into universal coverage, and it would be very valuable for this group of
employers to hear the Administration's thoughts on the situation.
The luncheon Is being held from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m., and Senator Specter is expected to
speak around 1:00 p.m. If it is possible for you to identify a speaker for us, our timeframe
Is very flexible and they could speak either before or after senator Specter. If ihey would
prefer, they could instead address our group as the first speaker in our morning legislative
briefing, scheduled for 9:00 a.m. at the Park Hyatt.

APRI a c t i v i s t s would certainly appreciate any efforts that can be
arranged for the F i r s t Lady or Mr. Robert Reich to address the

many of the federations campaigns. APRI f u l l y supports labor's
position on universal health care and i t s adoption i n promotion
of President Clinton's Health Security Act.
APRI has worked hard with the AFL-CIO to help pass the HSA
proposed by President Clinton. APRI a c t i v i s t have lobbied
Congress, worked within t h e i r unions, and have taken the lead
within t h e i r community to organize, educate, and publicize the
need for health care coverage.

Continuing the Struggle." The purpose of t h i s National Education
Conference i s to further activate our a f f i l i a t e s to apply
grassroots pressure on Congresspersons i n support of the HSA.

c i v i l rights, and a l l working Americans.
We are very grateful for any assistance in acquiring the
F i r s t Lady or Secretary Robert Reich to attend the conference.
Thank you for your continued support and with best wishes, I
remain

�ABORTION ISSUE AND CHA
However, because o f the a b o r t i o n issue, we have
respected t h e i r concern t h a t we not s t a t e t h a t
they have endorsed the Health Security Act. The
safe wording i s t h a t "they share the President's
f i v e p r i n c i p l e s . " Their strong working
r e l a t i o n s h i p w i t h our a d m i n i s t r a t i o n on h e a l t h
care reform has caused a great deal o f c r i t i c i s m
of CHA by the Catholic Church (note the a r t i c l e
attached), and we have t r i e d t o give them some
cover on t h a t issue by c l a r i f y i n g t h a t they have
c o n s i s t e n t l y made t h e i r views known t o us on t h e
a b o r t i o n issue.
I have attached a t r a n s c r i p t o f I r a Magaziner's
comments a t a recent h o s p i t a l b r i e f i n g where he
was questioned by a CHA member on t h e a b o r t i o n
issue, and he gave what they f e l t was a balanced
response. They recommend t h a t you touch on t h e
issue up f r o n t i n your comments, r a t h e r than
i g n o r i n g i t and w a i t i n g f o r a question ( I have
provided t a l k i n g p o i n t s on t h i s ) .
CHA AND HEALTH CARE REFORM
For most o f the past s i x t o seven years, CHA has
been a t the f o r e f r o n t o f seeking n a t i o n a l h e a l t h
care reform, conducting some o f the e a r l i e s t
studies a v a i l a b l e on the the uninsured problem and
growing c o s t - s h i f t i n g trends. They are one o f t h e
few groups o f h o s p i t a l s l e f t i n the n a t i o n t h a t
s t i l l r e q u i r e 'mission' statements which d i r e c t l y
t i e t h e i r p r o v i s i o n o f care a c t i v i t i e s t o t h e
uninsured, underinsured, and vulnerable
populations.
Several years ago they took a p o s i t i o n t o support
s i n g l e payer approach t o h e a l t h reform, but they
are savvy p o l i t i c a l pragmatists and have been
vocal i n t h e i r support f o r the employer mandate
approach.
CHA 79TH ANNUAL MEETING
CHA had o r i g i n a l l y i n v i t e d the President, and we
spent some time t r y i n g t o see i f we could provide
the President by S a t e l l i t e or produce a video
p r i o r t o h i s departure. Neither was p o s s i b l e .
�To represent the President they s p e c i f i c a l l y
wanted a member of the economic team r a t h e r than
someone from HHS, l a r g e l y because o f Shalala's
p u b l i c record statements on behalf o f a b o r t i o n
rights.
Please keep i n mind t h a t these h o s p i t a l CEOs are
also business people who compete f o r c a p i t a l i n
the f i n a n c i a l markets, and are also o f t e n the
l a r g e s t employers i n t h e i r d i s t r i c t s . I n t h i s
regard, they would be i n t e r e s t e d i n any comments
you might wish t o make regarding h e a l t h care and
the economy, and h e a l t h care and the d e f i c i t .
However, when i t comes t o the d e f i c i t , they w i l l
be s e n s i t i v e t o what they see as e f f o r t s t o reduce
the d e f i c i t by c u t t i n g Medicare and Medicaid
payments.
You are the l a s t speaker f o r t h e i r Annual meeting,
and you w i l l be f o l l o w i n g tomorrow morning an
i n t e r a c t i v e s a t e l l i t e discussion w i t h Senator
Moynihan and Senator Danforth.
FORMAT:
You w i l l be introduced by Dan Russell, t h e
Chairman of the CHA Board of Trustees, and
CEO of Mercy Health System i n Radner, Penn.
Your comments — 20-30 minutes
10-15 minutes Q & A
TALKING POINTS
Although I assume you have a standard Health care
Stump speech, I wanted t o provide the f o l l o w i n g
t a l k i n g p o i n t s on several items which need t o be
touched on. CHA s t a f f have recommended t o me t h a t

f r o n t , comment on i t , and then go on. I n
a d d i t i o n , they recommend not t r y i n g t o e x p l a i n our
a b o r t i o n p o s i t i o n , but instead commenting on our
r e c o g n i t i o n about how deeply they f e e l about
a b o r t i o n and we w i l l j u s t have t o fundamentally
disagree.
�Thank Dan Russell for introducing you.
Dan
Russell i s the new CHA Chairman of t h e i r
Board of Trustees.
Indicate that the President regrets he was
unable to join them, and that you were asked
to represent him.
Thank CHA for their commitment to healthcare
reform and more s p e c i f i c a l l y t h e i r
supportiveness of the President's p r i n c i p l e s
for health care reform.
Comment on the fact that where CHA has had
disagreements with the Administration, they
have been clear and frank on these issues of
disagreement. On the issue of abortion and
pregnancy related services, CHA has
communicated strong opposition to the
Administration regarding t h i s issue. We know
how deeply f e l t your position i s , and we
f u l l y expect CHA to make your voices heard.
However, l e t me add, that knowing how
strongly you f e e l about the fundamental
disagreement on that issue, we are especially
appreciative of your commitment to health
care reform and universal coverage.

p a n e l d i s c u s s i o n t h a t i n c l u d e s David T i t t s w o r t h ,
Counsel t o John D i n g e l l .
�BACKGROUND:
MHA represents around 120 h o s p i t a l s : a l l but one
of the acute care h o s p i t a l s are n o t - f o r - p r o f i t ;
they also represent a large number (approx. 25) o f
chronic h o s p i t a l s (long term care h o s p i t a l s ) which
e x i s t because Massachusetts has so few s k i l l e d
nursing homes.
This i s one of the more progressive groups o f
h o s p i t a l s and where a growing number of t h e i r
h o s p i t a l s are supportive of s i n g l e payer. Some o f
t h i s i s due t o t h e i r lack of f o r - p r o f i t h o s p i t a l s ,
as w e l l as t h e i r experience w i t h h i g h l y regulated
healthcare.
MHA has a very t i g h t r e l a t i o n s h i p w i t h Senator
Kennedy, and you might want t o comment t h a t
Kennedy i s known i n Washington as someone who
cares about how healthcare reform w i l l a f f e c t h i s
home s t a t e h o s p i t a l s (as you may know, Kennedy i s
having a tough r e e l e c t i o n b a t t l e ) . Steve Hegarty,
MHA President, i s an a c t i v e Democrat who t r a v e l e d
extensively on behalf of the l a s t two Democratic
P r e s i d e n t i a l nominees. Steve Hegarty has cancer
and has been undergoing i n t e n s i v e chemotherapy and
t h e r e f o r e may not be a t the meeting.
M A AND HEALTH CARE REFORM
H
Although MHA i s an a l l i e d member of the American
Hospital Association, they have been f a r stronger
on health care reform and more supportive of the
C l i n t o n plan. However, l i k e a l l of our h o s p i t a l
supporters (Catholic h o s p i t a l s , p u b l i c h o s p i t a l s ,
and children's h o s p i t a l s ) , MHA does not use the
word endorse when r e f e r i n g t o the C l i n t o n plan.
They are s t r o n g l y supportive of the 5 p r i n c i p l e s ,
and have been a c t i v e on the employer mandate.
The area they most take issue w i t h i s the Medicare
cuts, and they have strong concerns about
expanding Medicare as i s proposed i n the Stark
bill.
I have attached the t r a n s c r i p t s of MHA r a d i o ads,
as w e l l some of t h e i r p o s i t i o n statements. MHA
s t a r t e d a newsletter i n A p r i l c a l l e d "Inside
Reform" t o help keep t h e i r membership focused, and
I have included copies of those as w e l l .
�And l a s t l y , I am including a r t i c l e s on a recent
New England Federal Reserve study, commissioned by
Gov. Weld, that shows job loss with health reform.
I t i s important to note, that most of the
downsizing cited by the FED i s downsizing that i s
occuring with or without health reform.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

June 14, 1994
President William Clinton
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Clinton,
Once again I find it necessary to impose upon your time. Following is yet another
tale of embarrassment suffered by our organization because of a member of your
administration. The gentleman is well known to you (I use the term gentleman loosely in
this instance) and was scheduled to be our keynote speaker on June 7, 1994. I must add
here that it was never our intent to seek a speaker of note from Washington, but I received
a call from Susanne Wellford at the end of November inquiring if we still needed a
speaker for December 1 st. World AIDS Day. I informed her that our event had been
canceled but we had an upcoming event in June - our 6th Annual Awards Dinner. She
then stated she had the perfect person to be a keynote speaker; Mr. Robert Hattoy. She
asked for the particulars regarding this event and I mailed her a packet containing
Foundation material and the events time, place and honorees for this year. She informed
me she would contact Mr. Hattoy and pass along everything I mailed to her. She said she
or Mr. Hattoy would call to let us know if he would accept. A few months went by, I
phoned several times to inquire, but a decision had not been reached as Mr. Hattoy was
out of town. The month of March arrived and we needed to confirm Mr. Hattoys
participation, so I wrote him directly. I received a phone call from Mr. Hattoy accepting
our invitation to be keynote speaker, and we immediately set in motion the printing of
invitations which included Mr. Hattoy as our keynote speaker. From April to the end of
May a series of letters and phone inquiries were made to Mr. Hattoy to supply us with his
C.V. and a recent photo for press releases. This information was never received but Bob
told me over the phone that he was presently writing his speech. Finally, ji few days before
our Awards Dinner Mr. Hattoy called again stating he would be with us on the 7th. Our
office made all of his travel arrangements for that day, and he would be met at the airport
by a limousine and taken to my home where he would stay as my guest while he was here
in Connecticut. He was faxed a copy of his travel arrangements with a prepaid ticket
waiting for him at the airport.
On June 7th Mr. Hattoy made a call to our office, left word that he would bo
delayed. My director immediately called him, spoke to Robert and was informed that he
The Stewart B. McKinney Foundation, Inc. is a tax exempt organization.
�had to fill in at a conference for a colleague who had to be rushed to the hospital with
appendicitis but would be on the 5:00 p.m. flight out of Washington arriving in
Westchester. He was told the car would be waiting for him. He was given the phone
number of the club as well. He gave us his new flight number and arrival time and that
was passed on the limousine company. From 6:30 that evening until 7:45 p.m we received
a number of calls from the limousine company all stating that Mr. Hattoy was nowhere to
be found. At 8.15 we told them not to wait any longer.
Mr. President, it has been a week since this event and I have yet to receive a call or
letter of explanation from Mr. Hattoy stating his reasons for not appearing. We had to
soothe ill-tempered press who were present because Mr. Hattoy would be there.
Our evening was rescued by a dear friend and guest Dr. June Osborn, someone
you may have heard mentioned at one time or another. Mr. President, in all the years that
my husband served in Congress, Stewart Brett McKinney always returned phone calls,
kept public engagements barring unforeseen circumstances and served with distinction.
His name still echoes through the halls of congress because both sides of the aisle held him
in high regard and thought enough of him to name a bill upon his death. The Stewart B.
McKinney Homeless Assistance Act.
This situation for me is a personal affront, and one I find difficult to forgive. I
deplore this insensitive behavior and ask only one question WHY?
Mr. President, in closing, I must tell you a number of persons with AIDS who
attended our event expressed their disappointment with Mr. Hattoy although they
universally stated their joy that June Osborn spoke with such skill and heartfelt
compassion. I can only hope you'll feel as I do that this kind of behavior must stop.
Maybe a lesson in honoring commitments is warranted. Possibly, Mr. President we are
too small an organization to merit the respect I feel we are due.
Sincerely,
Lucie C. McKinney

Lncit McKinney, Chairman
June 14, 1994
President William Clinton
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Clinton,
Once again Ifindit necessary to impose upon your time. Following is yet another
tale of embarrassment suffered by our orgaruzation because of a member of your
administration. The gentleman is well known to you (I use the term gentleman loosely in
this instance) and was scheduled to be our keynote speaker on June 7, 1994. I must add
here that it was never our intent to seek a speaker of notefromWashington, but I received
a call from Susanne Wellford at the end of November inquiring if we still needed a
speaker for December 1st, World AIDS Day. I informed her that our event had been
canceled but we had an upcoming event in June - our 6th Annual Awards Dinner. She
then stated she had the perfect person to be a keynote speaker; Mr. Robert Hattoy. She
asked for the particulars regarding this event and I mailed her a packet containing
Foundation material and the events time, place and honorees for this year. She informed
me she would contact Mr. Hattoy and pass along everything I mailed to her. She said she
or Mr. Hattoy would call to let us know if he would accept. A few months went by, I
phoned several times to inquire, but a decision had not been reached as Mr. Hattoy was
out of town. The month of March arrived and we needed to confirm Mr. Hattoys
participation, so I wrote him directly. I received a phone callfromMr. Hattoy accepting
our invitation to be keynote speaker, and we immediately set in motion the printing of
invitations which included Mr. Hattoy as our keynote speaker. From April to the end of
May a series of letters and phone inquiries were made to Mr. Hattoy to supply us with his
C.V. and a recent photo for press releases. This information was never received but Bob
told me over the phone that he was presently writing his speech. Finally, a few days before
our Awards Dinner Mr. Hattoy called again stating he would be with us on the 7th. Our
office made all of his travel arrangements for that day, and he would be met at the airport
by a limousine and taken to my home where he would stay as my guest while he was here
in Connecticut. He was faxed a copy of his travel arrangements with a prepaid ticket
waiting for him at the airport.
On June 7th Mr. Hattoy made a call to our office, left word that he would be
delayed. My director immediately called him, spoke to Robert and was informed that he

had tofillin at a conference for a colleague who had to be nuhed to the hospital with
appendicitis but would be on the 5 .00 p.m. flight out of Washington arriving in
Westchester. He was told the car would be waiting for him. He was given the phone
number of the club as well. He gave us his newflightnumber and arrival time and that
was passed on the limousine company. From 6:30 that evening until 7:45 p.m we received
a number of callsfromthe limousine company all stating that Mr. Hattoy was nowhere to
be found. At 8:15 we told them not to wait any longer.
Mr. President, it has been a week since this event and I have yet to receive a call or
letter of explanationfromMr. Hattoy stating his reasons for not appearing. We had to
soothe ill-tempered press who were present because Mr. Hattoy would be there.
Our evening was rescued by a dearfriendand guest Dr. June Osborn, someone
you may have heard mentioned at one time or another. Mr. President, in all the years that
my husband served in Congress, Stewart Brett McKinney always returned phone calls,
kept public engagements barring unforeseen circumstances and served with distinction.
His name still echoes through the halls of congress because both sides of the aisle held him
in high regard and thought enough of him to name a bill upon his death. The Stewart B.
McKinney Homeless Assistance Act.
This situation for me is a personal affront, and one Ifinddifficult to forgive. I
deplore this insensitive behavior and ask only one question WHY?
Mr. President, in closing, I must tell you a number of persons with AIDS who
attended our event expressed their disappointment with Mr. Hattoy although they
universally stated their joy that June Osborn spoke with such skill and heartfelt
compassion. I can only hope you'll feel as I do that this kind of behavior must stop.
Maybe a lesson in honoring commitments is warranted. Possibly, Mr. President we are
too small an organization to merit the respect I feel we are due.

Dear Ira Magaziner:
We would like you to join us as a speaker at our fifth Automated Medical Payments
Conference at the Grand Hyatt in Washington DC on June 7-8, 1994.
This conference comes at the height of the national debate on health care reform with President
Clinton urging providers and payers to use electronic interchange as a way to cut
administrative costs. In doing this, new business oppoftniilics will arise for electronic claims
processors and software vendors as well as create new challenges for all aspects of the health
care industry. Automated Medical Payments V will provide updates on the state of health care
reform and the how the industry plans to address federal law pressuring electronic data
interchange.
We anticipate over 3fl0 seniorexecutiyes from this expanding industry to join us in
Washington. It is Faulkner & GrayTgoal to present an agenda which reflects the insights and
innovations of the key leaders in medical payment automation. Apporoximatly 40 of the
nation's leading vendors will also exhibit the most current products and services.
Enclosed is a preliminary agenda as well as information about Faulkner & Gray for your
review. We would be delighted if you would participate in the session entitled "White House
Vision for Electronic Data".
Within the next few days I will call to confirm your participation and to answer any questions
you may have. I look forward to working with you on this important event.
Sincerely,
Andrea Murphy
Conference Manager

AUTOMATED MEDICAL PAYMENTS CONFERENCE V
REFORMING HEALTH CARE THROUGH AUTOMATION
June 7-8
Grand Hyatt, Washington DC
(speakers in bold denotes acceptance)
Faulkner & Gray's fifth Automated Medical Payments Conference will be presented
during the height of national debate on health care reform. As part of reform,
President Clinton wants providers and payers to use electronic data interchange to cut
health care paperwork and reduce administrative costs an estimated $7 billion annually.
The movement to automate and simplify health care administrative duties will bring
significant business opportunities for electronic claims processors and software vendors
and new challenges for all areas of the health care industry. Ready or not, providers
and payers are expected to be mandated by federal law to employ electronic data
interchange to transmit financial and clinical health care data. And vendors will be
expected to be able to handle a massive increase in electronic health care information
using standardized formats.
But some in the health care industry fear that reform will result in massive new
bureaucracies and the "Big Brother" syndrome, because most reform plans advocate a
new national board that would oversee health care reform and make most major
decisions, including selecting and enforcing electronic data interchange standards. This
conference will provide updates on the state of health care reform and the readiness of
the industry to meet the goals of administrative simplification.
�DAY ONE
MONDAY
8:15-8:45
Chairperson's Welcome
Mr. St. George is a leader among health care providers in implementing
electronic data interchange for health care transactions. In his
welcoming remarks, St. George will throw down the gauntlet, presenting
an exclusive look at the state of the automated medical payments
industry, detailing the current level of readiness for health care reform
and the level of automation in various sections of the health care
industry.
Speaker:
8:45-9:30
John St. George, President, St. George Consulting, Inc.
Keynote Address - Payer/Provider Perspective
Federal health care reform will demand quick reaction from health care
payers and providers to automate billing systems and medical records.
Our keynote speakers are leaders in the health care automation effort.
Prudential insurance links with numerous electronic claims processing
networks at the local and national levels. Cleveland Clinic Foundation is
a diversified provider network that includes one of the largest and most
prestigious group practices in the nation, with an electronic infrastructure
already in place to meet the demands of health care reform. Our
speakers will update the status of health care reform, discuss specific
electronic data interchange mandates for payers and providers, and
assess how prepared the industry is to implement the mandates and what
obstacles remain to be conquered.
Speaker:
William Link, Executive Vice President,
Group Operations,
Prudential Insurance Company of America
David Engelhardt, Director of Information Systems,
Cleveland Clinic Foundation
I.
THE EDI MANDATES OF HEALTH CARE REFORM
These sessions will specifically look at the political environment, what decisions
that effect the industry have been made and what is expected, and efforts to
reform two of the nation's largest health care payers-Medicare and Medicaid.
�9:30-10:00
1. The View From Capitol Hill
While consensus on most aspects of health reform has been difficult to
achieve, Republicans and Democrats alike support increased use of
electronic data interchange. The big question for the automated medical
payments industry is whether legislation to mandate administrative
simplification will be separated from the overall health reform package.
Our speaker is co-sponsor of legislation to mandate the use of automated
health care transactions systems. He will discuss the latest strategies on
Capitol Hill to develop a national health care information network.
Speaker:
Representative David L. Hobson, (D-Ohio)
10:00-10:30 2. The White House Vision for Electronic Data Interchange
The White House has ambitious goals for using electronic data
interchange to improve the efficiencies and quality of health care, but
does the Clinton Administration have a specific plan to implement health
care information systems? The administration has shown a willingness
to negotiate certain aspects of health care reform. Our speaker will
explain what compromises have been made to its electronic data
interchange strategy, and why.
Speaker:
Ira Magaziner, Senior Advisor to the President for
Policy Development
10:30-11:00 Coffee/Exhibits
11:00-11:30 3. Why Medicare Wants to Lead the Automation Parade
As part of the Health Care Financing Administration's goal to be paperfree by the year 2000, the agency is turning up the heat on providers and
payers to automate their claims processing systems. HFCA has
mandated that Medicare carriers and intermediaries be able to accept
some transactions electronically. In addition, the agency wants to open
Medicare claims processing to competitive bids and reduce the number
of Medicare claims processors. President Clinton's health care reform
plan would include prescription drugs in the Medicare benefit package.
This presents new claims processing opportunities, but also raises
questions about why HCFA wants separate pharmacy processing systems
for Medicare and Medicaid. Our speaker will discuss HCFA's
electronic data interchange strategy and the reasons behind the agency's
programs.
Speaker:
Carol Walton, Director, Bureau of Program Operations,
Health Care Financing Administration
�11:30-12:15 4. How States Are Automating Their Medicaid Programs
With state budgets strained by the increasing cost of Medicaid and
uncompensated care, many state Medicaid directors are implementing
programs to increase the number of persons eligible for Medicaid and
move recipients into managed care programs. Such changes would
increase c aims volume, but present new challenges for Medicaid
processors. While the federal government has encouraged such
innovation for years, previous administrations were not receptive when
specific reform plans were presented. Now, the Clinton Administration
is providing states the federal waivers needed to reform Medicaid
programs, and HCFA has expanded a matching grant program to build
electronic Medicaid claims processing networks. Our speakers, the
Medicaid director in Florida and a major processor of Medicaid claims,
will explain how the automated medical payments industry can prosper
under Medicaid reform.
Speakers:
Gary Crayton, Chief of Medicaid Program Analysis
Florida Agency for Health Care Administration
Len Kirschner, Director of Health Care Initiatives
Electronic Data Systems
12:15-1:30 Lunch
1:30-2:15
5. Diaster Recovery: Are Providers, Payers and Vendors Prepared?
With health care reform expected to result in a massive increase in the
use of electronic data interchange, is the health care industry prepared to
protect payment and clinical records in a regional disaster? Claims
clearinghouses, payers and providers have implemented disaster recovery
programs to protect data and resume operations quickly, but the quality
of programs depends on a company's financial resources and
commitment to data recovery. Our first speaker is a disaster recovery
expert who will explain the state of disaster recovery preparedness in
hospitals and other provider settings. Our second speaker is in charge of
processing claims for Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Iowa and experienced
a regional disaster first-hand when floods hit the Midwest in June of
1993.
Speakers:
Paul Christenson, Disaster Recovery Services Consultant
Comdisco, Inc.
Dennis Billings, Vice President of Information Systems,
Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Iowa
�n.
PREPARING TO AUTOMATE
If Congress mandates automated payment systems as part of electronic
data interchange legislation, providers and payers wil be forced to
implement the information revolution in health care. These sessions will
discuss concerns raised when automated payment systems are installed,
including cost and legal issues, the problems of changing a billing
system to a standardized format and the challeng of building regional
networks.
2:15-3:00
6. Who Pays?
Virtually every political proposal for health care reform calls for the
automation of claims and other health care transactions. But there is no
consensus on how the so-called "electronic superhighway" will be
financed, much less who will pay for the necessary hardware and
software for providers and payers. Just how much is it likely to cost to
automate the health care system? And what's the most equitable, and
politically acceptable, way to divy up the cost? Our speakers have
studied the issue of how to pay for automation and its projected cost.
Speakers:
Robert Schaich, Chair of WEDI's Financial Implication
Technical Advisor Group
Robert Seehausen, Jr., Vice President, Tiber Group
3:00-3:45
7. The Legal Path Toward Automation
There can be legal pitfalls on the way to implementing an automated
billing system or electronic medical records. Many payers and providers
have a fear of joining electronic health care networks, because current
laws don't spell out who is liable for the accuracy and confidentiality of
health care records transmitted electronically. Our speaker, the author
of Faulkner & Gray's "Practical Legal Guide to Electronic Health Care
Payments'' and "Practical Legal Guide (Q Eltftwic Health Cftrg
Records." discusses the legal dos and don'ts of putting electronic data
interchange to work for providers and payers.
Speaker:
Jonathan Tomes, Visiting Professor of Law,
Chicago Kent College of Law
3:45-4:15 Refreshments/Exhibits
�4:15-4:45
8. The Accreditation of Clearinghouses
Hoping to stave off federal attempts to regulate electronic claims
clearinghouses, an industry association is working to establish a
voluntary accreditation program that establishes minimum performance
standards for the automated medical payments industry at an affordable
jrice. The Association for Electronic Health Care Transactions hopes to
>egin accrediting clearinghouses by October of 1994. Our speaker, from
the AFEHCT's accreditation task force, will discuss the group's efforts
to self-police the industry.
Speaker:
4:45-5:15
Joseph Bigley, President, Cooperative
Healthcare Network and Vice Chair of AFEHCT
9. Building a Regional Electronic Health Information System
Health care reform will result in the development of regional health
information systems, where information derived from automated claims
payment systems would be analyzed to determine the cost and quality of
health care within a given region. But moving from network theory to
practice will prove difficult, those who are involved in pioneering efforts
say. In this session, the leader of an effort to build a regional
infonnation system in Utah will discuss the major challenges already
faced in that state's efforts to build support for an all-encompassing,
integrated network.
Speaker:
5:15-6:30
Janet Hill, MIS Director, First Health Strategies

�DAY TWO
TUESDAY
8:30-9:15
1. Implementing Standards: War Stories
Virtually every health care reform proposal calls for the implementation
of uniform, national electronic claims processing standards. But
pioneers in the practical application of standards developed so far have
found that it's no easy task to make the switch from proprietary formats
to the American National Standards Institute's standard transaction sets.
Executives from two provider organizations will offer war stories about
the challenges they faced when struggling to implement ANSI standards
and the hard lessons they learned as a result. They also will describe
how they are using standards to cut their costs and improve their
efficiency.
Speakers:
Gina Grage, Reimbursement Coordinator, Mayo Clinic
David Schinderle, Vice President, St. Joseph Health
System
m.
PROVIDER PERSPECTIVE
Once providers decide to automate their claims submission systems, the hard
work begins. An important step is the selection of an appropriate processing
vendor. The recent trend by large hospital chains to consolidate brings
challenges in integrating different computer systems. And managed care
organizations, many of which have only recently begun to automate, are
considering a long list of electronic data interchange applications. These
sessions will walk providers through the mine fields of putting electronic data
interchange systems into place.
9:15-10:00
2. Choosing A Health Care Information Systems Vendor
If health care reform mandates that all providers automate claims and
other transactions, thousands of providers will be scrambling to find
vendors to meet their automations needs. Some providers that already
have been through the process of hiring claims processing companies
have found that the search was a frustrating, time-consuming process.
They say that too often, sales representative lack an in-depth knowledge
of health care and offer pat answers to complex questions. In this
session, a physician practice manager and a hospital system chief
information officer offer tales from the front about the headaches
involved in finding an appropriate vendor, outline the key factors
involved in their selection of a business partner and offer their advice for
how to make sure you are getting the most for your money when
automating to streamline administrative tasks.

3. How the Largest Hospital Chain Plans to Slash Costs through EDI
Health care reform inevitable will trigger further consolidation in the
health care industry as inefficient providers go out of business and
networks of providers are formed to meet all the needs in a region. The
most significant recent example of the movement toward consolidation is
the creation of Columbia-HCA Healthcare Corp., the nation's largest
chain of hospitals formed by the merger of three industry giants. But
with the merger came the difficult task of coordinating three different
computer systems for electronically transmitting claims to a myriad of
different payers. In this session, the Director of EDI for ColumbiaHCA will discuss how divergent claims processing strategies are being
consolidated.

4. Are Managed Care Organization Ready for Automation?
President Clinton's health care reform plan has its roots in managed
care, which will drive the movement from batch to on-line transactions
processing. But today, relatively few health maintenance organizations
have automated their financial and clinical transactions. Thus, few are
prepared to meet potential automation mandates. In this session,
representatives of two HMOs discuss how their organizations are
preparing for the post-reform era through electronic networking of
claims and other data. Our third speaker will discuss how Blue Cross &
Blue Shield of Minnesota which was an HMO, is using electronic data
interchange to meet new state mandates.

EMERGING TRENDS
With increased use of electronic data interchange resulting from health care
reform will come increased opportunities for claims processors, and companies
that want to get into the claims processing market. These sessions will explore
the opportunities, the challenges and who the new players are expected to be.
1:15-2:00
5. Why Banks Are Getting into Health Care Automation
Banks and other financial institutions would seem to be well positioned
for health care reform because they have an electronic infrastructure
already in place that could move claims and payment information for
payers and providers. But some banks are limiting their health care
involvement to transmitting remittance advice and electronic funds
transfers and could remain minor processors in a world of opportunity.
Other banks want to compete with clearinghouses, but some experts
argue that banks are coming into the market too late. Our spealcers
include a banking executive ready to take on the health care information
industry and a consultant who believes banks will not be competitive
players.

6. Answering the Questions About Health Care Cards
President Clinton wants all Americans to carry a health care
identification card that guarantees health coverage. But questions remain
on how the cards should be designed and what type of information they
will provide. And some health care payers aren't waiting for the federal
government to issue plastic cards. Our first speaker helped draft
proposed national standards for cards, and our second speaker is leading
the charge for a statewide health card program in Arkansas.

7. Health Care Reforms Hits Home
The home health care market generates at least 80 million claims
annually, but only about 30% of those claims are submitted
electronically by providers and durable medical equipment vendors.
Under health care reform, however, the home health care market will be
hit with the same strict government automation requirements as other
health care industry players. Indeed, HCFA already is demanding that
its regional processors electronically process 70% of all government
home health care claims annually by the end of 1994. How is the home
health care market bearing up under strong pressure to automate? What
companies are taking advantage of new processing opportunities in the
still paper claims-intensive home health care market? Our speaker,
whose company processes more than 1 million home health claims
annually, provides some answers.

Technologies Inc.
8. Are Clearinghouses Doomed?
Will today's health care claims clearinghouses disappear by the tum of
the century? That depends on what path providers take to meet
automation mandates expected to be imposed as part of health care
reform. Will they enter contracts with clearinghouses to edit, translate
and switch their claims? Or will they acquire their own editing and
translation software and use value-added networks to switch claims to
payers? In what promises to be a lively debate, an executive at an
emerging value-added network will argue that networks eventually will
usurp clearinghouses, while a clearinghouse founder will give his view
of why the long-term outlook for clearinghouses in bright.

9. Where We Are Going?
Two years ago health care administrative simplification was a legislative
pipe dream. But now Congress appears ready to pass sweeping health
care automation mandates by December. Just how far will the
government go with making the U.S. health care system abandon paper
claims? How will congressional EDI legislation impact initiatives
already underway in the private sector? How much money will the
federal government spend helping to plant the health care electronic data
interchange seed. Can the public sector work with the private sector
implementing a national health care electronic data interchange system.
Our speaker, the leading supporter of automated medical payments
network technology in Congress, will provide some answers.

Dear Ms. Clinton:
I am writing to you in my capacity as Program Chair for the Ninth Annual
Conference of the Joint Task Force for Injured Workers' Rehabilitation. Our 1994 Conference
is scheduled for Tuesday, June 7, 1994 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Dundalk Community
College in Baltimore, Maryland. The Conference is entitled "The Workers' Compensation
System: Can We Afford It In The 21st Century?" We would be honored and exceptionally
pleased if you would consider being our keynote speaker for this Conference.
Without question, you are more qualified than any other individual in our nation
to discuss this issue and to raise questions and provide some possible solutions. The time and
creative energy which you expended in researching and planning our nation's new health care
system is likely to provide meaningful insight into similar problems which we face throughout
the workers' compensation system. The cost of workers' compensation has skyrocketed. The
greatest component of that expense is medical treatment. With the advent of sophisticated and
expensive diagnostic procedures, (MRI, CT Scan, myelogram) and computer/videography
assisted surgeries, (arthroscopic and iaproscopic surgery) injured workers are getting more
treatment than ever before and at a much greater cost. This is not to mention greater emphasis
upon physical therapy, work hardening, functional capacity evaluations, psychological testing
and psychiatric treatment. There are also tremendous costs associated with returning the injured
worker to gainful employment through vocational rehabilitation, re-training, and job placement.
Doctors, lawyers, nurses, vocational rehabilitation specialists, hospitals, outpatient
services, insurance representatives, and other professionals and professional organizations are
grappling with problems related to cost containment. Complicating the issue is the fact that we
have injured workers who need medical care and vocational assistance. Injured workers need
appropriate medical care to make them well and they need retraining or other vocational
assistance to help them return to the workforce. The knowledge which you have amassed from
�a year of intensive study of these issues would be invaluable to our organization and the
attendees of our Conference.
Our Conference is a well organized, well planned, well executed annual event.
It is short on fluff and long on educational value. It is seven hours of knowledgeable and
dynamic speakers like yourself followed by smaller workshops addressing more specific and
focused topics. The Conference is always a sellout consisting of 350 Maryland professionals
from the medical, insurance, legal and vocational disciplines. If you were to accept our
invitation, the college could alter the accommodations and I would expect attendance of 1,000
or more. If you wished us to limit the audience to the smaller size, this would be possible also.
The issue of medical and vocational cost containment in workers' compensation
claims has reached a critical stage in Maryland and throughout the country. The dedicated
professionals working within this system are struggling to find answers which will save it from
collapse under its own weight. If you would agree to provide our keynote address, you would
make this the most important local conference of the decade.
Enclosed with this letter you will find biographical information regarding the Joint
Task Force For Injured Workers' Rehabilitation. As you will see, the Joint Task Force is a nonprofit organization which sprung from the Maryland Governor's Study Commission on Workers'
Compensation. Vocational and medical issues are so varied, complex, and pervasive that the
Joint Task Force was formed to deal specifically with them. For ten years, our organization has
provided assistance to the Maryland legislature regarding these issues and an educational forum
for professionals.
Please give serious consideration to our invitation. Baltimore is only one hour
from Washington and we would accommodate your schedule by placing you in the program at
any time of day. The length of the address would be totally up to you. Of course, we would
absorb any expenses which you incur.
We sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. Your diligence, creativity,
and commitment to health care reform are appreciated by all of us.
Very truly yours.

NEWCHURCH HEALTH BRIEFING
STRATEGIC CHANGE IN THE NHS
1. - UNLEASHING THE MARKET
The considerable upheaval caused by the Government's 1991 health reforms has had a permanent effect. It has become clear
that a return to the status quo is now no longer an option, and that by the end of the decade the current shape of the NHS
will be largely unrecognisable. This paper, the first in a series on strategic change in the NHS, suggests that many of the
initial structures put in place following these reforms have been built upon historical assumptions rather than the likely
needs of the future. However, the forces unleashed by the reforms are acting as a catalyst for other, wider pressures, and
have set off a train of events which will lead inevitably to a rapid and fundamental redefinition in the who, how and where
of heallh care delivery.
Six key trends are identified within the UK health care industry. These trends will particularly affect NHS Trusts, many of
whom will have to face sometimes unpalatable decisions about how they function. Future papers in this series will review
some of the pressures and mechanisms for change in greater detail, including new ways of delivering health care, the
re-structuring of NHS Trusts, changes in working practices and the consequences of new medical technology.
Since the introduction of the Government's health
reforms in April 1991 the development of the NHS
has been dramatic, but it has not necessarily
followed its expected path. The shift to NHS Trust
status has been greater and faster than initially
predicted, and the development of GP
Fundholding is now proceeding more quickly
than at first seemed likely. The impact of the
purchaser/provider split has not however been as
dramatic as first foreseen.
The continuing restructuring of purchasers has
contributed to the already slow development of
purchasing or commissioning as an activity. Up
until now the development of purchasing has
lagged behind that of providers. As a result a free
flowing market for health care services, even if
possible or desirable, has yet to appear.
In practice both providers and purchasers have
found many more constraints on their actions than
they might have wished or predicted. Inthe
absence of further structural change and the
introduction of more sophisticated purchasing
tools, the market has turned out to be part
managed, part fixed and usually confused.
It is becoming apparent however, that one of the
major barriers to further development of the
market is the clarity and rapidity with which even
the current, limited mechanisms have exposed the
pressures for major structural changes in provider
services. The minimal market forces that have
been unleashed to date have simply fuelled the
fundamental pressures for change affecting all
aspects of the health care industry world-wide.
Policy makers now face the dilemma of managing
the impact of those forces, either by trying to
control the development of the market, or by
letting it develop more quickly. Either way the
result is likely to be painful for providers.
In this paper, the first in a short series on strategic
change in the NHS, we examine the underlying
forces bearing down on providers and their
economic and financial consequences, and in
subsequent papers we will consider the strategic
options open to them. It is now obvious that
whatever the merits of the Government's 1991
reforms, they have set in train a process of
restructuring which will affect every facet of UK
health care, in a process that may now be beyond
the powers of politicians and policy makers to
control.
Strategic Change In The NHS 1 - Unleashing The Market
�THE MANAGED MARKET
For many providers the gaining of NHS Trust
status has been as much a way of maintaining the
status quo as an engine of change. The creation of
NHS Trusts, at least initially, tended to lock into
place provider structures built to meet the needs
and demands of the past rather than those of the
future.
As the internal market begins to take effect
however, the potential for Trust status to facilitate
change is becoming increasingly apparent and
important. The forces let loose, even by a
managed market, will lead to a rapid
concentration and restructuring of providers. As a
result many Trusts will face the need for radical
change. A large number will have to merge whilst
others will simply close.
Market Exposure
The introduction of market forces into the NHS
has been limited and partial. However, the
development of the essential elements of a market,
even in a constrained, managed form, is beginning
to release unstoppable forces for change. Perhaps,
as the Government intended, the division of the
market between Health Authorities and GP
Fundholders is serving to limit the capacity to
manage or control those changes.
Paradoxically, the independence and freedom
valued by Trusts not only offers the possibilities of
growth and expansion but also of failure.
Markets, however imperfect, promote change
through making information about suppliers and
customers widely available, whilst at the same
time removing barriers to the growth or demise of
market participants.
The creation of the purchaser/provider split,
coupled with the development of autonomous
NHS Trusts, has ensured far better if as yet
imperfect, information about provider costs and
performances, exposing them to much greater
levels of scrutiny than was previously possible. At
the same time the defined, autonomous nature of
Trusts, with their clear boundaries, has removed
many of the inhibitions and constraints which
frustrated the restructuring of hospitals when run
as directly managed units.
Despite its inherent problems, the internal market
has been quick to isolate areas where resources are
being employed either inefficiently or to
unacceptable standards of quality, in many cases
confirming historical, but previously unquantified
problems. For example, the first set of financial
results from the initial wave of NHS Trusts,
showed that eight of the 57 First Wave Trusts
failed to achieve the required return on capital
employed, and two failed to break even by
Department of Health definitions.
Perhaps the most dramatic manifestation of the
effect of the internal market has been in the acute
sector, particularly in the great cities. The
Tomlinson Enquiry into the delivery of London's
health care in many ways only documented the
inevitable demise of many of the inner city's
providers in the face of even very modest changes
in purchasing patterns. Newcastle, Leeds and
Glasgow are all witnessing similar pressures for
change.
For community and priority services units the
issues are different, although no less demanding.
These Trusts face the loss of their tied market as
GP Fundholders gain increasing freedom over
how they source community services. At the same
time, in their desire to shift care away from
traditional acute hospitals purchasers are
encouraging a wider range of potential providers
and competitors, such as GP consortia and the
acute hospitals themselves.
Constrained Resources and Capitation
The market's impact would have been lessened if
it had been introduced at a time when total
resources were expanding rapidly. In contrast, the
NHS now faces a lengthy period when total
spending will rise more slowly than demand.
A declining tax base, along with pressures on
public spending, will inevitably place a constraint
on NHS funds. However, demographic changes
alone will create a consistent rise in demand.
Figure 1 shows the concentration of expenditure
per head on those aged over-75, a group whose
numbers are forecast to grow by 10% during the
1990s. If current spending levels are maintained,
this growth alone will imply an additional real
expenditure in excess of £3 billion a year.

The effect of reduced growth is reinforced by even
the limited and proposed changes in capitation.
The allocation of health care resources has been
warped and erratic for so long that any attempt to
introduce change will have a severe impact. The
effect is increased further however, as capitation
shifts reinforce and compound pressures that are
already in the system.
The Market's Impact
The disproportionate impact of the market to date,
given its imperfections and limitations, reflects the
essential economics of health care providers. The
traditional capital intensive structure of hospitals
ensures very high fixed or semi-fixed costs. As a
result, even a small change in revenues at the
margin can have a major impact on unit viability.
A few local GP Fundholders may between them
control less than 10% of an acute hospital's
revenues, but perhaps more than 50% of elective
surgery. A change in even a small part of this
purchasing pattern could threaten the viability of
orthopaedics and general surgery, and as a result
the financial stability of the hospital as a whole.
Figure 2 - The Growing Influence of GP
Fundholders
For a community unit the loss of even a small
proportion of services to GP Fundholders can
threaten the viability of the entire organisation.
This threat has now become critical, as
Fundholders both grow in influence and assume
responsibility for purchasing an increasing range
of community services (see Figure 2).
The potential impact of even small changes in
purchasing patterns has so far caused Health
Authorities as purchasers, to be cautious.
However, the fundamental forces affecting all
health care providers, over which purchasers are
only observers, will increasingly impel purchasers
to act - and to act in a decisive manner.
F U N D A M E N T A L FORCES FOR
CHANGE
This exposure to the tepid market forces of the
reformed NHS would not have any great impact
on most Trusts and DMUs if it were not for the
substantial winds of change currently blowing
through health care industries world-wide.
Although clinical and information technology
have been developing rapidly and dramatically
over the last three decades, the structure of
provider services has been remarkably stable, even
ossified, especially in the UK.
Now however, changes in clinical practice and in
medical technology are acting in combination,
facilitated by the falling real cost of medical
technology relative to the cost of labour. The
traditional patterns of care can no longer resist this
momentum for change.
The impact of developments in clinical and
information technology would not be so great if
they were not coinciding with and reinforcing
changes in consumer expectations. Consumers of
health care services are becoming more
knowledgeable, more questioning and more
demanding, and through initiatives such as
hospital league tables, better informed.
Furthermore, ideally the last place they want to be
is in a hospital bed.
Acute Care
Third
W«ve
0993)
Source: Department of Health
This process has been most dramatic in the acute
sector. In the Newchurch briefing Acute Hospitals:
A Case For Treatment, we charted a fall of nearly
30,000 acute beds during the 1980s, and forecast an
accelerated decline to a total of 75,000 beds by the
end of the century. First indications suggest this
projection is being fulfilled.
Strategic Change In The NHS 1 - Unleashing The Market
�The critical forces driving these changes are well
recognised: the rapid growth in day surgery, the
introduction of minimally invasive surgery, the
increase in programmed diagnostics, the decline in
lengths of stay and the shift to out-patient patterns
of care. Even without a market, acute hospital
capacity would have to have fall rapidly. The
introduction of a "managed" market, where
purchasers have declining real purchasing power,
has simply exposed the current over-capacity
more sharply.
Recent Newchurch work on the shape of acute
hospitals has begun to quantify the extent and
timetable for these changes. This work suggests
that a "typical" DGH, which currently serves a
population of 200,000, could be expected to serve a
population of 350-500,000 by 1997 if it were to
achieve the operating performance in each of the
new technologies currently exhibited by the
leaders in these fields.
This additional capacity would require only
modest capital investment and could be achieved
without a commensurate increase in workforce,
but would however require different work
practices. Furthermore, our work suggests that in
the majority of cases access for patients would
remain largely unaffected.
«
Whilst such developments are unlikely to be
consistent across the country, and will be inhibited
by current work practices, and in some cases by
the nature and state of existing buildings, it is
possible to suggest that the workload of the acute
hospital could expand by between 50 and 100%
over the next five to ten years.
In the process of change the configuration of the
DGH will have to change rapidly. Service
configuration will be explored in a subsequent
paper in this series, but it is apparent that some
DGHs will be larger and more intensive, whilst
others may move increasingly out of in-patient
activities.
Community Services
On the available evidence the developments in
acute care are not in themselves resulting in a shift
of activity to primary and community units.
Although the extension of new service patterns to
the elderly and to the more complicated, less
robust patients, may change this, the impact of the
new arrangements for Community Care remains
unclear.
However, changes in technology and clinical
practice do appear to open up the possibility of
substantially expanding the care that can be
delivered in non-traditional settings. As a result,
community units are increasingly faced with a
revolution in expectations.
The evidence to date suggests that belief in the
ability of community and primary services to
develop new patterns of service is running
substantially ahead of proven efficacy and
effectiveness. The pressures for change are
growing, and the developments in community and
primary services that will be required will be at
least as dramatic as those currently being
experienced by the acute sector.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the
barriers to developing new patterns of care are
largely organisational and potentially financial.
Much of the required technology is both available
and proven in other countries. Although there is
considerable evidence of low levels of productivity
and poor, unmeasured outputs, in some areas of
community service, the almost universal refrain
from CPs is that they do not have the time or the
resources to develop and take on additional
services.
A significant shift of acute care into primary and
community settings will therefore require the
development both of new service configurations,
and more importantly, new working practices.
These new configurations will require the removal
of many of the existing professional and
management boundaries, and may well result in
the effective merging of primary and community
care. In this process the challenge for community
units may be to avoid losing their purpose and
identity.
Within priority care the dramatic changes in
treatment patterns for mental illness have been
made possible, at least in part, by changes in
attitude, significantly on the part of Government.
The rapid reduction in in-patient treatment of
mental illness has been one of the most striking
aspects of heath care over the last decade,
although recent events suggest that this process is
not without problems.
Strategic Clrnnge In The NHS 1 - Unleashing The Market
•VAS'
�THE PRESSURES FOR
CONSOLIDATION
The introduction of the limited forces of the
internal market is therefore coinciding with, and
reinforcing, fundamental changes in the way
health care is delivered, and inevitably in the
underlying economics of health care providers.
Four forces are now in train, affecting all aspects of
the health care system:
•
Average revenue per episode is falling
•
Capital now has a real cost, and is therefore
much more expensive
•
Labour costs continue to rise faster than
revenues and continue to outstrip
improvements in productivity
•
Total demand on the health care industry is
rising faster than revenues-
Many acute hospitals are now reaching the limits
of what can be achieved in improving labour
productivity within the framework of existing
work practices and professional demarcation.
Further improvements will require a radical
review both of how clinical staff work and of how
traditional acute hospitals are structured. Current
work by Newchurch suggests that given a free
hand and unencumbered by history, acute units
could improve labour productivity by 20 to 30%.
Some may have no choice.
The Economics of Acute Care
These forces are most severe for acute units. The
shift to day and minimally invasive surgery and
out-patient treatment is rapidly eroding income
per episode. Given the traditional cost structure
and the density of the asset base of acute hospitals,
episode costs cannot be reduced at the same rate.
Gross margins, and hence contributions to
overheads, are therefore being squeezed severely.
As a result, a greater proportion of overhead and
indirect costs are having to be borne by the
diminishing number of higher cost, usually inpatient episodes. However, the impact of
changing teclinology is itself resulting in an ever
increasing over-supply of acute in-patient services,
which is promoting further reductions in prices
and therefore revenues.
The impact of over-capacity in the acute sector is
dramatically underlined by the introduction of
capital charges. Empty hospital wards now have a
real cost attached to them. For acute hospitals
with expensive sites and buildings that cost can be
very high indeed. Obliged to justify their costs,
large district hospitals, traditionally dependent on
high levels of bed utilisation, are finding
increasingly that a declining bed base is not
reflected in the cost of their overheads, which in
many cases are largely fixed. These pressures are
further reinforced by the rising costs of labour,
particularly clinical labour. Over the last five
years virtually all the improvements in labour
productivity achieved within the NHS have been
absorbed by improved pay and conditions.
For the acute sector these internally generated
problems are compounded by the insistence of
purchasers to increase activity whilst shifting
resources into other sectors of health care - a
process which is stimulating yet further
competition to acute hospitals. Added to these
pressures, capitation changes will tend to shift
spending power away from urban areas where
hospitalisation rates are high and where acute
units are concentrated.
Acute hospitals, particularly those in areas which
have a high number of providers of in-patient
services, are therefore facing a vicious circle. The
more effective they are in reducing lengths of stay,
in introducing out-patient treatment and in
increasing day case surgery, the more their
revenue per episode will fall and the more intense
the competition will become. This can only result
in a radical restructuring of acute hospital
provision.
The adoption of NHS Trust status cruelly clarifies
and exposes the impact of these forces.
Furthermore, Trust status itself adds to the cost. A
Trust board costs at least £250,000 a year. Whilst
the productivity gains in many acute units have
been impressive, many have also taken on
substantial additional management costs. In total
we estimate that the incremental cost of running
an NHS Acute Trust is some £500,000 to £750,000 a
year, costs which in many cases have traditionally
been carried at the centre.
The Economics of Community Units
Although community units are looking to benefit
from a shift of resources away from acute care, this
move is taking place at a time when overall
resources are increasingly constrained. As a
result, many units are experiencing an effective
standstill in revenue growth relative to rising
activity and rising real labour costs. For, as in the
acute sector, improvements in the poor labour
performance of many community units have to a
great extent been consumed by increases in labour
costs.
Strategic Change In The NHS 1 - Unleashing The Market
m

�Although most Community Trusts are spared the
penalties of major fixed assets, the smaller Trusts
do suffer the impact of disproportionate
management costs. For whilst the costs of
independence as a Trust may be reasonable for
large acute hospitals, for whom Trust status was
designed, they can be a considerable burden for
small community units.
THE INDUSTRY'S FUTURE SHAPE
Given the force of these pressures it is possible to
identify six key trends for the UK health care
industry over the rest of this decade.
A steady decline in the number of NHS
Trusts after the completion of the fourth
wave in England. For some Trusts the
economic pressures described above will
prove terminal. These Trusts will
disappear or exit from the market either
through dissolution, or more likely, the
politically acceptable process of merger.
2.
Tertiary services and high dependency
secondary care will become concentrated
into a limited number of centres. In
parallel with the reducing number of
Trusts, the number of major acute units,
defined as dealing with trauma and inpatient surgery, will fall to under 100 by
the end of century. These major centres
will provide focal points for the system
serving populations of 750,000 to 1,000,000
people.
3.
Whereas the average income of district general
hospital Trusts is around £50 million, the
comparative figure for community Trusts is
£28 million. For these organisations average
management costs of £250,000 represent a
significant burden and place them at a
considerable cost disadvantage.
1.
The breaking down of the traditional and
often artificial boundaries between
primary, acute and community services,
leading to the development of a range of
new types of facilities and organisations
which will increasingly drive the system
through case management.
4.
The creation of federal systems of linked
Trusts, perhaps spread over a wide area.
In this way Trusts will seek to spread the
costs of management and service
development over a larger income base,
whilst at the same time seeking to secure
patient referral patterns.
The economic advantages of scale will become
increasingly important as the competitive
pressures increase on community units. The
barriers to entry are relatively low in community
services for newcomers, whether GP Fundholders,
the voluntary sector, the private sector or acute
units. New entrants need make little significant
investment and have the advantage of being free
to choose their niche for development without
being hampered by traditional labour practices.
The vulnerability of Community Trusts is further
reinforced by their wide remit, which means their
activities are at least similar and often the same as
a variety of other providers. This is especially the
case with neighbouring units, who have the added
advantage of local knowledge and credibility, and
may also pose a threat by setting themselves up as
attractive alternative employers to key staff.
Existing Community Trusts are being obliged to
attempt development on a broad front, often
extended over a wide range of services and a
significant geographical area. At the same time,
the considerable potential for introducing radically
better working practices, cutting across historic
lines of professional demarcation, threatens to
release substantial latent over-capacity, with the
resulting implications for depressed prices and
increased competition. The economic pressures on
many Community Trusts, particularly smaller
units, will therefore force them either to become
more and more specialised or seek to become
larger through mergers.
5.
The introduction of a range of new
providers from both the private and
voluntary sector, particularly into low
dependency secondary services, such as
local hospitals and acute domiciliary
services.
6.
Radical developments in working
practices which will reflect and facilitate
these structural changes and include the
removal of many of the current intraprofessional boundaries.

�THE STRATEGIC OPTIONS
STRATEGIC CHANGE IN THE NHS
To a greater or lesser extent all NHS Trusts will
have to respond to the pressures described in this
paper. Some Trusts are already having to face
radical decisions about their future. Given the
basic economics of running a Trust there is only
really one strategy open to providers, irrespective
of type: to reduce the unit cost of labour and
increase revenue relative to asset base. The
successful and surviving Trusts will be those that
achieve both these objectives simultaneously and
significantly.
Tulure papers in this series will cover the following key
issues facing the NHS in greater depth:
Where the market has begun to bite there is
increasing evidence that the traditional approach
of making continual but small improvements in
labour and asset productivity is no longer
adequate. The industry may well have reached a
limiting, critical point, whereby the existing
organisations can no longer make further
improvements whilst sustaining their historic
structures. The law of diminishing returns may
now apply to small scale improvements in
productivity.
Redefining Trust Boundaries
Examining the process of merging NHS Trusts,
with an emphasis on the lessons which can be
learned from experience within the private sector.
Managing Health Care Technology
Exploring the nature of technological change
within the health care industry and the
management issues raised by its implications.
New Patterns
of Delivery
For Health
Care
Defining how health care managers can break down
the traditional distinctions between primary, acute
and community services to create new types of
health care providers.
Changing Working Practices
A re-think of traditional working practices will in
many cases be a pre-requisite for change. For many
managers this may require a re-structuring of their
entire organisation.
Under this scenario the only choice for Trusts is to
consider wholesale step, rather than incremental,
changes. To make substantial improvements in
productivity, providers will have to dismantle
current work practices, review present
management and organisational structures and
reconsider many of the established assumptions as
to how and where health care services should be
delivered.

Dear Ms. Welford.
Subject: Participation to a comparative health-policy meeting
(Bilbao, Spain. 7 June 1994)
Many European countries have begun this decade undertaking major health care reforms. We are
also all looking with admiration to the U.S.A. in relation to the ambitious health policy shift being
designed by the present Administration. It is a great encouragement for those of us involved directly in
health policy-making to see the great determination with which The President's Health Reform
proposal is being pursued
We share challenges and problems and we would like the Spanish and European audience to leam
from the approaches of your country Furthermore, Dr. Bengoa. who is organising the meeting
mentionned in this letter, and who has been present in some tecnical meetings in the U.S.A. where the
health reform was presented, believes that the information being disseminated on the U.S. health
reform in Europe by the media and certain specialised journals does not give a complete picture of the
policy objetives being pursued. We believe a colloquium such as the one we have organised may help
to correct this m part
We have organised a tecnical meeting in Bilbao, Spain, on the 7th June 1994 to discuss systemwide health care reforms. The emphasis will be on discussion and comparing experience. The audience
will be mainly Spanish but there will be high-ranking policy-makers and managers from those
European countries (United-Kingdom. Sweden, Portugal) presently embarked on major strategic
changes The participant speakers are policy-makers involved in their countries in the daily design and
implementation of their reforms rather than analysts from outside their Administrations. We would
like to include a presentation by an American expert who is actively participating from within the
Administration and who could present the U S health care refonn in a comprehensive manner
For this purpose, we would greatls appreciate if Ms. Christine Heenan, Senipr Policy Analyst,
White House Domestic Council would accept our invitation to participate in this forum and to make
the above-mcntionned presentation.
The report from this meeting will be distributed to a broad range of European managers and policymakers English-Spanish translation will be available during the sessions.

On behalf of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), I would like to invite you
to speak at ACEP's Heahh Policy Section Hriefing of our legislative Seminar, taking place at 4:30
pm on Monday, June 6, 1994. I understand that you have already spoken with ACEP member,
Dr. Bruce Auerbach in regard to this invitation. The meeting Is to be held at the Grand Hyau
Hotel in Washington, D.C
ACKP's Legislative Seminar offers our leadership an opportunity to hear from federal policymakers about issues important to emergency medicine. We are especially pleased to extend this
invitation to you at a time when American health care is at such a major crossroads. As an
Administration leader, you will have an opportunity at this event to interact with the physicians
who practice on the "front-lines" of the American health care system, in our nation's emergency
departments.
We invite you to speak for approximately 30-35 minutes, plus time for questions, on Monday,
June 6, 1994. The College looks forward to hearing your remarks about the President's health
care plan and the direction that health care reform is taking.
If you or your staff have any questions regarding this invitation, please feel free to contact Roslyne

ISSUE: PRE-AUTHORIZAT10N OF SERVICES
Background:
The Adminisn-ation's "Health Security Act" would require prcauthori^ation for the provision of urgent and emergency services. (Title V, Subtitle C,
Sec. 5201(c)). This provision would require that the request for prc-auihorization be
accompanied by information attesting to the fact that the patient has an emergency
medical condition and that the health plan has 24 hours to review the claim and notify
the provider of approval or disapproval.
ACEP Position: The College opposes this provision. The success of emergency medical
treatment depends upon the timely application of necessary emergency care. A provision
requiring 24 hour pre-authorization for emergency care is not compatible with the
purpose of emergency care.
The College believes that in the instance of an emergency, no prc-authorl/ation should
be necessary. In the instance of other treatment a patient may require in the emergency
department, the College supports a provision allowing prc-authorization for treatment and
payment, but that the health plan must respond within 30 minutes of the request. Failure
to respond within 30 minutes should be deemed authorization for both treatment and
payment for services provided.

ISSUE: DEFINITION OF EMERGENCY SERVICES
Background: The Administration's health care proposal "The Health Security Act",
defines the term emergency services in several sections of the legislation, with which
health care plans would be required to comply, l he Act defines emergency services using
the very narrow definition established under the patient transfer law. This restrictive
definition could result In the denial of emergency care to patients in need of such
services.
ACEP Position: ACKP believes patients who think they have an emergency or urgent
medical problem should not be subjected to policies preventing access to emergency
medical care. ACEP supports the definition of emergency services adopted by the State
of Maryland in 1992. The Maryland definition relies upon the standard of a prudent
layperson. 'Iliat definition states:
"...Emergency services are...those health care services that arc provided in
a hospital emergency facility after the sudden onset of a medical condition
that manifests itself by symptoms of sufficient severity, including severe pain,
that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be
expected by a prudent layperson, who possesses an average knowledge of
health and medicine, to result in: 1) placing the patient's health in serious
jeopardy; 2) serious impairment to bodily functions; or 3) serious
dysfunction of any bodily organ or part."

ISSUE: MANAGED COMPETITION/CARE
Background: The Clinton Administration's health care reform proposal as well as other
reform proposals introduced in Congress, include an increased use of managed
competition as a delivery system. As part of their philosophy of managed competition,
the Clinton proposal and some others will create strong incentives for individuals to
enroll in managed care plans. As a result, the influence of managed care would increase
dramatically under health care reform.
While ACEP understands the need for increased use of managed care plans to help
contain costs, emergency physicians throughout the country have experienced a number
of problems interacting with managed care plans, which may jeopardize the timely
delivery of quality care. ACEP has Identified several problems which specifically relate to
the care of patients in a managed care setting
ACEP Position: If there is to be an increased use of managed care, it is critically
important that any health reform plan provide for the smooth interaction between plans
and the emergency department so that patients receive timely care. ACEP supports a
managed competition initiative that includes, at a minimum, the following explicit
provisions;
recognition that all patients are entitled to access to high quality emergency care
in the communities in which they reside;
payment for the federally-mandated (COHRA) medical screening exam;
a prohibition against retrospective denials of payment for service provided to
patients;
a system to ensure due process for claims denied by plans;
payment for treatment provided in out-of-plan hospitals for patients who, in the
judgment of the physician, are in need of immediate medical care;
a prohibition against prcauthoi i/ation of services, and a requirement that plans
provide timely authorization of payment ( 30 minutes or less) for non-emergency
services, or payment is deemed to be authorized for the ensuing treatment;

a prohibition against plans discouraging patients from seeking emergency care
when and where the patient deems such care to be appropriate;
recognition of the real economic costs of readiness/stand-by services provided by
emergency physicians and emergency departments, particularly in inner-city and
rural areas and in low-volume facilities.
as a result of the above, recognition that emergency physician and emergency
department resources cannot be adequately financed solely from charges for
services rendered to presenting patients;
integration of the local emergency medical services (EMS) system into the
accountable health plans;
inclusion of data, in annual consumer "report cards", measuring tiic number of
health plan payment denials for services provided in emergency departments, and
the number of instances of health plans prohibiting or discouraging individuals
from seeking care in emergency departments or prehospital (EMS) settings; and,
in capitated plans, frequent, fair and equitable review of the volume of patients
presenting and services provided in the emergency department.

ISSUE: GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION
Background: Emergency physicians arc considered primary care for purposes of
Medicare reimbursement, but not for purposes of graduate medical education (GME)
funding. In addition, in 1993, Congtess created a separate Medicare Volume
Performance Standard for primary care and included services provided in an
emergency department (ED). However, most health care reform proposals would
direct funding for GME towards "primary care" specialties, but not include emergency
medicine in the definition of primary care.
The typical patient population in the emergency department (ED) is unrestricted and
presents with a full spectrum of episodic, undifferentiated physical and behavioral
conditions.
ACEP Position: Health care reform should recognize Emergency Medicine as a
primary care specialty for the purposes of GME funding. At a minimum funding for
emergency medicine residencies should be held harmless and not reduced.
Even if Congress legislates universal access this year, there will be a phase-in and
Implementation period in which EDs will continue to provide back-up services to
managed care plans and physicians' offices. In addition, during the phase-in period,
the ED will continue its role as the health care safety net for those patients who "fall
through the cracks".
The existing supply of emergency physicians is Insufficient to meet current needs.
Emergency physicians have a high attrition rate (12 percent) because of the physically
demanding work and high stress level in delivering emergency care. Yet, current
residency programs are only graduating approximately 770 new emergency residents
a year.
Even with targeted funding to increase the number of primary care providers, it will
be several years before the nation will see an increased number of practicing family
physicians and internists as a result of the these policies. In addition, emergency
physicians will be needed in the future as the epidemic of violence continues.
ACEP urges Congress to hold harmless the funding for emergency medicine residency
programs by retaining the current level of slots, thereby ensuring that the safety net
can continue it's important function of delivering emergency care and providing the
necessary back-up to managed care plans and physicians' offices. Therefore, primary
care is, and will continue to be, delivered appropriately in the ED.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton
Chair, Health Care Refonn Task Fore::
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20300
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
Wc are very sorry you will be unable io provide the keynote address at
The Rocky Mountain Heart Consortiun's first annual National
Symposium, "Using Outcomes Data : o Improve Clinical Practice.
Building on Models from Cardiac Surgery," June 6. Given the
relevance of the symposium's topic to the health care refonn
movement, we feel it is critical to havo a representative from
Washington speak at the conference We are asking that you invite
Judith Feder, Principal Deputy Assistiint Secretary for Planning &
Evaluation, Department of Health &. Human Services, to serve as
your representative for this purpose.
The Symposium is sponsored by The Rocky Mountain Heart
Consortium, together with the Department of Veterans Affairs Office
of Quality Management. The Consortium is a group of 15 Colorado
hospitals whose mission it is to foster and support collaboration among
providers of Cardiology services so tliat public health is improved as
the result of the more effective application of resources through a
community-driven process. Attendees at the Symposium will include
Cardiac Surgeons. Cardiologists, Hospital Administrators, Medical
Group Practice administrators, and hospital Medical Records
personnel
The conference will take place on June 6 and 7, 1994 at Keystone
Resort, Keystone, Colorado. As I mentioned, the goals of the
Symposium are consistent with and support the concepts of the Health
Care Reform Task Force. Specifically , these goals are:
To gam, synthesi/e and disseminate knowledge of how patient-level
data on risks, outcomes, and costs, can be effectively used to improve
clinical decision-making and thereby the outcomes and cost
effectiveness of patient care
121012
�04/12/94

HHS OS ASPE 415F
To provide information on the strengths and weaknesses of risk
adjusted outcomes data to assess c uality and cost, and on the
development of effective feedback loops.
To provide the opportunity, in small groups sessions, for
participants to study and interpret actual reports and summaries of
risk adjusted outcome data, provid ing them with tools in order that
they can implement these activities, in their own practices and within
the hospitals in which they work
To address isiues regarding the public release of clinical outcomes
data, and to foster a non adversarial environment in which this data
can be evaluated and applied to clinical practice.
The recent explosion of interest in the use of outcomes data to assess and
improve the quality and cost effectiveness of care is consistent with and in
part related to the national health care reform movement However,
despite this intense interest, there has been limited experience with such
data systems, and very little to date done lo educate health care
professionals, in particular, physicians, about the purpose and use of the
data. Much of the existing experience wir.h outcomes data has been in the
Cardiac Surgery field. We believe this is a breakthrough symposium, and
the first of what wc expect will be an annual gathering to explore these
issues.
The participation of Judith Feder at this event would greatly enhance our
program Also it would send a powerful message to an influential group of
national health care decision makers that the use of outcomes data in
evaluating and improving clinical practice is a critical component of the
reform plan.

Goals:
In part due to the national health-care refc rm movement, there has been
an explosion of interest in the use of outcomes data to assess and
improve quality and cost-effectiveness of health care. We are told that
purchasers of health care will be using such data to assess and select
providers. Yet, there has been very limited experience with such data
systems, and much of this has been in cardiac surgery. This symposium
is designed to be a two-way exchange of information with leaders in the
use of outcomes assessment in cardiac surgery telling us what they have
learned, and you, the provider, telling us what information you want from
such systems and how it should be return -id to you to most effectively
improve care.
This symposium will provide information cn the strengths and
weaknesses of risk-adjusted outcomes data to assess quality and cost, on
how to set up risk-adjusted outcome data systems, on how to develop
effective feed-back loops, and what to expect from public release of such
data. In small-group sessions, attendees will have as opportunity to study
and interpret actual reports and summaries of risk-adjusted outcome data,
and will be asked to express their expectations both in terms of the nature
of the data and the mechanism and environment by which it is returned to
the care-provider.
The conference will conclude with a keynote address on the role of
outcomes data systems in health care reform.
Intended Audience:
Although models from cardiac surgery will b© presented, this symposium
should be of interest to any health-care provider or payor interested in
using outcomes of care to assess and improve quality and costeffecliveness, In addition to cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, this
symposium should be of special interest to quality assurance personnel,
hospital administrators, medical information systems specialists, as well
as any physicians, physicians' assistants, and'nurses interested in using
outcomes data to improve their practice.

MEMORANDUM FOR PATTI SOLIS
DIRECTOR OF SCHEDULING, OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY
FROM:
GREG SIMON
CHIEF DOMESTIC POLICY ADVISOR
SUBJECT:
SCHEDULING REQUEST
SUMMARY
I would like to recommend that the First Lady participate by videoconference in the
University of Washington's 1994 Biomedical Technology Conference. The University of
Washington receives more federal research and development money than any other public
institution.
As you can see from the attached correspondence, the organizers would like to hear
Mrs. Clinton speak about "The Impact of Proposed Legislative Health Care Reform on
Biomedical Innovation," and possibly to take qusstiens-frojn the audience. They are holding
two dates open for the conference. May lltjx^and June 3rd, dependant on the availability of
speakers.
DISCUSSION
The biotechnology industry has over the past year been extraordinarily vocal in its
support of this Administration on the economic plan and on NAFTA. Many in the industry
are very concerned, however, about what health care reform holds for them. Regardless of
the facts of the plan, uncertainty about the Administration's intentions in the area of price
controls has had an adverse impact on the financial health of the biotechnology industry and a
concomitant adverse impact on their political support for the Administration.

Dear Ms. Wellford:
This is to invite a representative of the Administration to participate in a symposium on

of it's 44th Annual Conference, KALEIDOSCOPE: The Changing Patterns of Human
Resource Management, being held in New York City, June 2-3, 1994. The Conference
will be attended by over 200 human resource executives, managers and professionals.
We sent an invitation to Mr. Ira Magaziner but have been infonned by Ms. Marge Tarmey

am to 12:00 pm and repeated from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. A distinguished panel of experts
representing providers, carriers, large and small business and consulting firms have been

Dear Mr. Zelman:
As Chief Executive Officer of American Medical International, Inc. and President of the Federation
of American Health Systems, we would personally like to invite you to be a panelist to discuss health
care reform at AMI's National Physician Leadership Conference on June 3. The purpose of this
meeting is to bring together AMI's top 200 physician and executive leaders. This meeting is one of
the ways that we are proactively seeking to find a solution to our nation's health care problems — by
working with physicians to define solutions that meet the goals of decreasing medical costs while
keeping high quality patient care intact*
American Medical International is a Fortune 500 company which is publicly traded on the New York
Stock Exchange. AMI owns and/or manages 36 hospitals located in 12 states. The Federation of
American Health Systems is a trade association located in Washington which represents 1,400
investor- owned or managed hospitals.
We are putting together a panel that will fairly represent the primary positions being debated. Each
panelist will be asked to present his or her viewpoint within 15 minutes. The remaining time will be
allocated for panelist interchange. We hope you accept our invitation to represent the
administration's position on health care reform on the panel. Mike Bromberg of the Federation of
American Health Systems has committed to participate and we have invited representatives from the
House and Senate to discuss the commonalities and differences in the current proposals. After the
panel discussion, Uwe Reinhardt, James Madison Professor of Political Economy at Princeton
University, will speak on the current market changes in health care.
We hope you will be able to attend. Katherine Krause, AMI's Director of Public Affairs, will call
your office within the next few weeks.
Warm regards,
Robert W. O'Leary
Chairman and CEO,
American Medical International, Inc.

Dear Ms Hayes:
The Department of Critical Care Medicine of Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester,
Massachusetts is sponsoring a healthcare symposium entitled Multiple Impact.- Healthcare in
the Era of Reform to be held on June 3, 1994 in Worcester. We have assembled a
prestigious panel of speakers to address the various impacts which we can expect from
healthcare reform on the delivery of healthcare services and are interested in having a
representative of the Healthcare Task Force join us as well to give the Administration's
point of view. We have already been in contact with both Lisa Caputo (Press Sccretaiy to
the First Lady) and Patti Solis (Special Assistant to the President) inviting the First Lady
to join us but were referred to Mr. Bart Handford who has subsequently suggested that we
pass our requests along to you. Obviously, we still remain hopeful that the First Lady will
be available to join us for the symposium but if that is impossible, we still would be
delighted to hear the perspective presented by other members of the Healthcare Task Force
- possibly Ira Magaziner, Mrs. Donna Shalala (Secretary of Health & Human Services) or
whoever you feel would be in a position to present a compelling representation of the
Administration's proposal.
Since we are well advanced in our planning for this and wish to begin advertising in
the very near future, I would look forward to your earhest possible response and I can be
reached at (508)798-6097 or at the following FAX number (508)798-1135.
Sincerely,

Dear Marina:
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with the National Association of
Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) regarding the health care provisions
which affect the employee leasing industry. You shed alot of light on the
deliberations process of those who crafted the "alliances," and we appreciate your
advice as to how to proceed with this issue. In fact, we have begun compiling a fact
sheet which profiles a leasingfirm,its clients, and its employees.
On another somewhat related matter, our association would be honored to have you
as a sBeaker_at our upcoming Government Affairs conference in Scottsdale, Arizona
2, 19947^ a representative of the Administration (and long-time Hill
ryouTmsight would be of great benefit and interest to our members.
Our conferences are designed to be educational and informative to both the fledging
companies and Lhe more sophisticated, larger firms. Since health care is a major
issue for this industry, we have devoted a considerable amount of time on this topic
in past conferences. Now that the debate has moved beyond "speculation"
and into becoming a reality, it is even more important for our members to become
well versed on the latest developments.
Please let me know if you are interested in this prospect. I look forward to talking to
you in the near future and continuing our dialogue on health care reform.
Sincerely,
Eaton LaVigne

Syracuse. One of the physicians i s a cardiologist who has
received numerous awards during h i s years of practice including a

Subject: WellCare Health Forum
Thank you for calling. I hope the following imormation clarifies who WeilCare Is, and the
purpose of WeliCare's Health Forums. I am faxing a synopsis about the company, ads from a recent
campaign we did, plus the last two year's Forum agendas, and a sample letter of invitation.
We would like to have a representative from the administration attend to discuss the
President's plan. In the past two Forums, we have had a national expert (Paul Ellwood in 1991, and
Dr. John Clowe in 1993), plus local representatives each giving a 10-15 minute speech about their
views on health care reform, followed by a question-and-answer session moderated by a local
newscaster.
_
If an administration representative would be comfortable with this format, we will probably stick
with 'rt. If not, we can work something else out. All of the details will be decided after someone from
the administration commits to participating. We will not invite any panelists you are not comfortable
with. Again, you can choose a weekday that is good for you, but we appreciate at least six weeks to
two months to prepare.
In the past, approximately 100 plus Capital Region community leaders have attended the
Forum. Letters of invitation generally go out to local VIPs and dignitaries, legislators, government
workers in health care/social services, employers, physicians, human resource people, health facility
administrators, and board members ot hospitals, chambers of commerce and colleges. The Forum
has been open to the general public, but it is not advertised widely. After the Forum, the transcribed
Proceedings are sent out to everyone who attended.
After you have had a chance to look all of the information over, please call me at 518-4621135 to discuss the possibility of having an administration representative participate in WeliCare's
next Health Forum.
�Here is a brief synopsis of WellCare:
^Aablished in 1985, WellCare Health Plan is a Managed Care Health Maintenance Organization
^ ^ r a t i n g in New York State. It has become one of the fastest growing HMOs in the nation by
providing affordable, accessible medical care.
WeliCare's low copayments encourage members to seek primary care at the first sign of illness when it is easiest to cure. A commitment to quality preventive medicine and primary care has
enabled WellCare to provide broad coverage at a reasonable cost.
In addition to its Healthy Choice program, which provides Medicaid recipients with better access to
health care, WellCare has developed the following programs to benefit its members and the
community:
• WeliCare's Healthy Grants programs provide funds to not-for-profit organizations and local
school systems for special needs their budgets often can't cover.
• Each WellCare Health Fomm brings together national and local experts to discuss solutions to
the health care crisis.
• WellCare Conferencing programs help medical professionals obtain continuing education. Some
Conlerenc'mg programs are designed to help members and employer groups with health care
concerns, such as stress or quitting smoking.
WeliCare's Mentor Program introduces high school students to careers in health care
professions.
By providing inclusive, quality care while effectively containing run-away medical costs, WellCare is
positioned for the future of health care.

Bottom Line
We've all come to realize that heallh
care that's too expensive is unhealthy for our families, for our companies, for
our nation.
Our health plans are founded on the
belief that compassion and costefficiency are not mutually exclusive.
Our plans recognize that pre\cnt'mg a
medical problem rather Man overcoming it saves not onl> pain and
suffering, it also saves n oncy.
-
Our plans have grown quickly because
our members have come to leam that it is
possible to access, through their family
physician, high quality mcdicaJ care at an
affordable cost.
The bottom line is that medical care tliat is
affordable and acessible makes us all
healthy.

Cleaning Up the Medicaid
When the fctk ral government established
Medicaid in 1966. it seemed like a good way for
low-income families to receive health services.
Unfortunately, the program has fallen short.
Governments arc overburdened with runaway
costs whose unpivdictahility mala- budgeling
difficult.
Doctors arc I'mstrated by mounting paperwork
slow rcinibnrscmcnt.
Recipients ;ice .struggling with limiied access t >
<
care, relying on costly emergency room visits lor
routine health ore
New York State's Medicaid expenditures have
almost doubled in the last decade. Now. more
than a quarter century later, policy makers and
health providers are calling for solutions to ihe
"Medicaid Mess
WellCare has an
alternative - a proven,
workable, cost-efficient,
caring, professional
alternative.
Hy enrolling Medicaid
users into its managed
care program, it gives
low-income families access to a wide range of
benefits and services, including hospital,
medic al and prescription drug coverage.
Simply, WellCare gives Medicaid recipients a
ffca/tby Choice.
The program was established in 1989, when
WellCare began enrolling Medicaid recipients
in I lister County. By the end of the first year,
the program reduced hospitalizations by
SS percent and emergency room visits by
81 percent.
Based on its proven success
in controlling costs and
providing superior, attentive
health care, the program
has grown rapidly. Since its
inception, Healthy Choice
has enrolled more than
9,000 members from seven
New York counties Albany, Columbia,
Dutchess, Greene, Orange,
Rensselaer, and Ulster.
�Mess is a Matter of Choice
- r.thrunt I'llnunw, Cl-O WettOnv
Its effectiveness, like all of WeliCare's programs, is
rooted in preventive care - the best, most costefficient solution for fostering health and
containing costs. By providing each member with
their own primary care physician, members
hospitalizations decrease 30 to 50 percent,
emergency room visits decrease 50 to 60 percent,
while primary care visits increase 30 percent
With Healthy Choice,
more children are
elng immunized, and
lore women are
receiving necessary
pap smears, prenatal
care, and family
planning - appropriate
since 58 percent of its
enrollment are women
and 62 percent are
younger than 18.
Through a close doctorpatient relationship,
the program enhances opportunities for health
education, preventive and follow-up care, early
diagnosis and proper treatment - services
otherwise ignored or unavailable, yet
desperately needed.
»
ate and local governments find Healthy Choice
ideal for increasing accessibility, while improving
efficiency and limiting costs. Claims processing
costs are reduced and. because doctor's fees are
capitated, il hceomcs possible u> accuntu h budget
The program reduces Medicaid's fee-for-service
costs by live pcrceni. Frauduleni claims, paperwork and out-of-area transportation expenses are
drastically diminished.
And for the first time, the system is accountable
for its spending and quality of care - a welcomed
change for stale and local governments spending
more than 16% of their 1990 budgets on health
care, with no real measure of the system's
cost-effectiveness.
Because of Healthy Choice, the future
looks promising. While continually gaining
the respect of affiliated providers,
it steadily expands.
As we all grapple with health care reform and
fiscal restraints, managed care is emerging as
the better way to provide quality, affordable
Medicaid care It will become an investment
in tomorrow, saving time, saving money and
saving lives - simply by giving New Yorkers a
Healthy Choice.

Mr. Ira Magaziner
Healthcare War Room
Old Executive Office Bldg.
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Attn: Scheduling
Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, its Health Care Committee and
local business leaders would like to invite you to participate in a panel program on
federal health care reform.
The Chamber recently sponsored two programs on Florida's health care reform
initiative and each was attended by approximately 500 people. We expect that a
program featuring nationally prominent speakers, such as yourself, on federal issues
will be even more successful. Our business community is aware that it must
understand the various federal reform proposals now before Congress and how they
will relate to the State's ongoing experiment in health care reform. In addition, the
size of our population^ the unique demographics of this area, the enormous demand
for health care services, and their increasing costs all underscore the urgency for
understanding and action.
If your schedule allows, we prefer to conduct the program in early June but the actual
date can be adjusted to accommodate your availability. In addition, if we can
facilitate your attendance in any other way, please let us know. Should you have any
questions, please feel free to call on Elaine Blattner, The Chamber's Vice President of
Public Policy at (305) 462-6000 ext. 8797. We look forward to having you visit us.
Sincerely,
Les Haskew, President & COO

Dear Suzanna:
Thank you for considering our request for a Presidential letter to be distributed to the participants of
the Washington Business Group on Health's 20 anniversary gala celebration and annual conference, June 1-3.
Washington, D.C. We have also made contact with Marilyn Yager. Let us know if there is any other way
we can expedite this process.
The Washington Business Group on Health (WBGH) is the nation's only organization representing large
employers solely on issues related to health. It was created two decades ago to correct the growing imbalance
between therisingprices that employers were paying for health care, and their lack of control over what they
were buying. Today, WBGH's 200 members, mostly Fortune 500 companies, include the nation's most
knowledgeable, progressive and successful managers of the health care they provide for their more than 30
million employees.
This year is particularly special in the life of WBGH. It may be the year of long-awaited comprehensive
health care reform; it is also WBGH's 20th birthday. We expect between 400 and 500 to attend our annual
conference and gala celebration.
I have drafted a letter for the President's signature that would reflect WBGH's accomplishments and
contributions. Of course it can be changed in any way that would fit the President's style and his personal
message to large employers.
Please call me at (202) 408-9320 if I can answer any questions or provide you with additional
information. It would be an honor for our participants to be recognized by President Clinton for their work
in spurring the national debate on health system reform.
Sincerely,
Kristina Tanasichuk
Washington Business Group on Health

Dear Ms. Williams:
VICE PRESIDENTS
The Northern California chapter of the Medical Marketing Association, a
respected national orgafuzation that represents and serves marketing"
professionals working in healthcare provider services, pharmaceuticals,
diagnostics and instrumentation will meet in early June in Rancho Mirage,
California.
The 1994 theme, Healthcare Hardball: Do You Have A Game Plan? has been
established as a result of the momentum created over the past year by the
Clinton administration. Our focus will be on how anticipated changes in
healthcare will impact our membership.
We would like to extend a formal invitation to Mrs. CUnton to join us on
June 1, 2 or 3 to address this important professional forum. Our membership,
with over 11 chapters and 1,000 members nationwide, represents the
healthcare industry, suppliers, hospitals and providers of medical and
pharmaceutical equipment and supplies. They represent an important
business segment of opinion makers, leaders and catalysts of future growth in
key health related areas as well as our national economy.
If Mrs. Clinton is unavailable during these dates, we would be anxious to
host a suitable replacement who could represent the goals and objectives of
the administration.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On behalf of the American College Health Association, I would like to invite you to be
the keynote speaker at our annual meeting in Atlanta, Ga., June 1-4. The theme for this
year's meeting is "College Health: Working for Change," with a focus on health care
reform.
Your keynote address would be the feature of our Opening Session on Wednesday, June
l , 10:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m. Specifically, we would ask you to speak for 30-40 minutes
during that time period.
To give you a little background on ACHA, we were established in 1920 as tne
professional association for the health care providers on college campuses. The
association and its members are committed to providing specialized, quality, primary
care to this nation's 14.5 million college students. Our members consist of more than
900 institutions of higher education and about 3,000 college health providers, including
physicians, nurses, health educators, administrators, mental health professionals, and a
small but significant contingency of students. As you can see, it is a very diverse group.
The major issue facing our members and their constituency today is health care reform.
Indeed, we are working intensely to ensure that students' needs are not overlooked as
the nation and its individual states revamp our health care system. We very much
support health care reform and feel that your work in this area would make you an
excellent speaker for our annual meeting. You would be addressing an estimated 1,800
college health professionals from campuses nationwide.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

THE
NATIONAL MINORITY HEALTH
ASSOCIATION
A Backgrounder
A. PCSCKlPnON
The Nationnl Minority Health Association, Inc. (NMHA) is a SOKc),*!. non-profit.
all-vojunteer, consume advocacy organization for the improvement of the quality of health of and
healthcare services for racial and ethnic minontv populations in the United States and its
protectorates Its "Statement of Purpose" is:
The National Minority Health AsmciaJion, Inc.. a non-profit organization,
provides a forum to identify and focus aiicntion on ihe hut 'Lh needs of all minorities
nnd aciivcly advoeaics for addressing and resolving a continued disparity in the health
care srams between minority and non-minority population;
In other words, the NMHA seeks to "close the gap" between the minority and majority
populations in health - a gap which has historically meant higher mortality rates, higher and more
severe prevalence of chronic diseases, and less health delivery services for minorities in general.
B. HISTORY
In 1985, then U.S. Secretary of Health & Human Services Margaret Heckler - published a definitive report on the health status of this nation's minority populations, i.e., African- Americans,
Hispano-Americans,Asian & Pacific Islander Americans, and Native Americans. This document,
entitled. "Report on Black and Minority Health", found that there were 60,000 (now estimat-

Nowadays, AIDS would probably be added.
Other than the estabishment of theftflfa^Minority Health as an HHS sub-department, none of
the dozen recommendations of the Heckler Repon were implemented by the then Reagan Administration. Thus, perceiving a need for "citizen action" to seek reforms and solutions, a small group
of concerned persons with health-related backgrounds est sbliahed the National Minority Health
Association in 1986 and incorporated in late 1987 in Hairisburg, Pennsylvania.
C. STRUCTURE
1. Mfmhership - Membership is open to all who share ths Purpose of the organization and
pledge to actively pursue its programs. A small annual duss is levied While organizaiions can
hold a supporting membership, active membership is available only to individuals. To date, the
NMHA has counted over 1,000 individuals on its memba-ship rolls Until 1992, the NMHA had
only a national at-large membership structure. Active efforts began in 1993 to initiate the establishment of area affiliates - tied to national headquarters in Harrisburg
2. Leadership - Al the top of the organization is an Executive Board (i.e., Board of Directors),
overseeing a National Operations Board, m d up of national committee chairpersons and coae
chairs. Affiliates report to the Operations Board.
3. Source* of Fundiny - The NMHA actively seeks contributionsfromphilamrophics, businesses,
organizations, individuals, and governmental bodies in thu form of grants. The NMHA also tries
to market its expertis*, health education, and health delivery senices to the healthcare industry.

The National Minority Health Association takes particular pride in the fact that, since 1988, it has
annually convened a national multi-day conference, held over the years in various key cities. For
three years it has published a quarterly newsletter - not only for informing its membership on
matters effecting the health of minorities - but also for the edification of some 23,000 primary
care physicians who practice in geographic locations having large minority populatioiw- On numerous occasions, the NMHA has m d public statements and issued policy papers on such issues
ae
as: heahh care reform- f»""-^m»M?^ bflTriers to health access, and tfc p H T CflfWgCtiag

minorities for the promotion of tobacco and alcohol products. The Association has given testimony at government hearings and in general has offered itn expertise on minority health matters to
government leaden ship including the Presidency'. Finally, £u the only health-oriented national
organization with no professional self-interest - our focus is on the well being of the patient, not
the health professional - the NMHA feels it uniquely provides an objective view on health care
matters affecting all Americans.
c
E. SIRAIEQIC GOALS
Given our "Purpose" of "closing the Gap" on the disparity in the health of minorities versus
the majority population, the National Minority Health Association seeks to:
- promote equitable access to quality healthcare for all without regard
to disease condition, age, sex, race or ethnicity,regionality,or ability
to pay
- promote the establishment of culturally competent healthcare delivery
in settings which do not compromise one's dignity, acknowledge socioeconomic environmental factors, and attempts to empower the patient
as a M partner in his/her own care.
-- promote a preventative approach to the maintenance of good health.
- provide infonned consultancy and informaticn sources on matters of
minority health for health policymakers as well as for the public at large.
- provide culturally and literacy appropriate health education programs
for minorities
»- provide or assist programs which seek to remove cost as a barrier to care.

O.K. Here is the scoop....Fort Scott, Kansas is pretty far from both media markets (Wichita &
Topeka). However this is a very supportive, grass roots group. DH would like to have a
sub-cabinet person (like Bob Van Hook, Bruce Vladeck,etc) do a whole day of health care
events in Kansas including this Fort Scott event. Then, it would be worth someones time to
go out to Kansas. Can you set this day up?

Dear Mike,
Ruth Jones continues to be better than her word on promoting hsalt.h
care retorm.
She has received an enthusiastic "OK" from local officials in Ft.
Scott, Kansas to hold a town meeting on health care - tentatively the
week of May Ibth.
The city manager and Chamber of Commerce have given their blessing.
An auditorium that seats 1300 i s available; and Ruth i s writing a
4-part article on health care reform for the Fort Scott Tribune so
she should be able to publicize the event.
Can we get someone from the administration to commit to speaking on
the subject as soon as possible so a firm date can be established?
Thanks,
Wf

Tisr Friends,
I a T pleased to have the opportunity to write to the members of the Owner-Operator
.
Ir.dependent Drivers Association. You are the entrepreneurs, the i n d i v i d u a l s , and
ir.e f a m i l i e s that ry Administration considers as we move forward to provide greater
s s r u r i t y and prosperity for a l l Americans.
After 60 years of false starts and obstruction, we f i n a l l y have an opportunity
t : seize the mcrr.ent and tc give to every American the freedom that health security
w . l l bring. And I am convinced that we w i l l accomplish t h i s goal.
Here i s how T y reform v i l l work:
.
• We w i l l guarantee private insurance for every AT.erican;
« We w i l l safeguard your choice of doctors and health plan;
• We w i l l protect and dramatically improve Medicare;
• We w i l l guarantee insurance through the workplace f o r everyone who works; and
• We w i l l outlaw u n f a i r insurance practices that contribute t o higher rates, and
we w i l l not allow insurance companies to refuse coverage.
We recognize some of the problems that you face as owner-operator independent
drivers.
Our plan w i l l give you additional security and put you on a level playing f i e l d
w i t h b i g business.
With our plan:
• You'll be able to change motor carriers without losing your health care coverage.
;-surance w i l l always be there.
• As a self-amp".eyed business person, you w i l l be able to deduct 100 percent of
ycur insurance :osts, as other businesses now can. Today, you can only deduct 25
p-ercent of those costs. Our plan ends this discrimination.
• Your benefits w i l l be as good as the best plans c u r r e n t l y cf f e r e i ry the country's
biggest businesses, and they w i l l contain the same benefits nat :ne--Tibers of
Cor.iress receive. Today, small businesses are paying 30 percer.-. - 40 percent more
than big businesses to obtain coverage. With the new bargaining power of large
pools of buyers, y o u ' l l be i n charge.

Members Attend White House Briefing on Health Care
President Clinton invited OS1A officers
and members, from throughout the country
representing the fields of education, government, insurance, and medicine to
attend lhe first White House briefing
specifically for Italian Americans on the
administration's national heallh care plan.
April 15, in Washington. D.C.
"As opinion leaders in your communilies, your involvement is essential to the
enactment of real health care refonn,"
Clinton said in his welcoming message.
Several senior members of lhe Clinton
administration, including Marilyn Di Giacobbe, associate director of public liaison;
Pat Griffin, assistant to lhe president for
legislative affairs; Waller Zelman, senior
health care policy adviser, and OS1A member Roben Blancato, director of the White
House Conference on Aging, spoke on various aspects of the president's plan concerning long-term care and family issues:
1. guaranteed private insurance, 2.
choice of physician, 3. outlaw unfair
insurance practices, 4. preserve Medicare
health benefits guaranteed at work.
Ointon's plan includes guaranteed private comprehensive insurance coverage for
all Americans. This coverage would allow
citizens lo chose their personal physicians
and to have a choice of services. Under the
plan, ever}' job would have health-care
benefits paid for by the employer and the
employer, and small businesses would
receive discounted coverage.
The president's plan makes it illegal for
insurance companies lo drop or cut benefits or increase rates when individuals
become ill or have pre-exisiing conditions.
The plan also eliminates lifetime benefit
limits and high charges for older people,
and increases heallh benefits under
Medicare.
According to the White House, 81 million Americans have pre-existing conditions and three out of four insurance policies have lifetime limits, which cut off benefits at a predetermined dollar value. Statisticsreportedin the ioumal of the American
Medical Association say that 58 million
Americans are without insurance at some
point each year, and two million Americans lose their insurance every month.
OS1A members who attend the briefing
included National Fourth Vice President!
Lucy F. Codella; Sons of Italy Foundation
President Valentino Ciullo, presidenl of a
Michigan-based financial services company; Scott Ciullo, an executive with the
company; Connecticut State President JoAnne Gauger, a public school teacher;
New York State President Joseph Sciame,
a vice president at Si John's University;
Lucy J. Contrino-Thomas, chairwoman of
the OSIA Alzheimer's Committee; and
Michael Carbone, M.D., an Italian national and a research physician at the National Institutes of Health, and National Executive Director Philip R. Piccigallo.
National President Joanne L Strollo, an
insurance professional in the Philadelphia
area, and National Third Vice President
Frank J. De Santis, a medical research
center administrator in Los Angeles, were
invited to attend the briefing but were
unable to because of scheduling conflicts.

Dear Dr. Delf^
The League of Women Voters Education Fund and the Kaiser Family
Foundation have collaborated to develop foruias across the nation
on health care reform. Our ai» i s to give citizens a voice xn
the current debate over tne future of health care in t h i s country
and state. W are hoisting a forum in Boston on Saturday, June zs
e
XOam - 12 noon at the Gardner Auditorium. I t w i l l be broadcast
by channel 44.
Dr. Marc Roberts of the Kennedy School of Government and the
Harvard school of Public Health has agreed to serve as our
moderator. During the f i r s t hour, three panelists v i l l serve as
experts representing differing views on solutions to health care
reform. W hope to have representation fro* those who advocate
e
single payer, aanaged competition with an employer mandate, and
free market models of health care refora. Dr. Roberts w i l l ask
these panelists to debate two issues related to health care
financing and delivery. The financing debate w i l l relate to the
issue of eaployer mandate,individual awmdate, no mandate or f u l l
government financing. The second issue w i l l relate to health
alliances as part of our health care delivery structure.
The moderator w i l l also take questions from an audience which
includes representation from hospitals, physicians, nurses, HMOs,
coanrunity health care and business.
During the second hour,
aembers of Congress w i l l be asked to present their views on
pending health care legislation and respond to audience
questions.
This League campaign and these foruwis are s t r i c t l y non-partisan.
I t i s the intention of the Massachusetts forum to give a l l
Massachusetts Berobers of Congress, Democrat and Republican/ th*
opportunity to be heard hy the public on the health care isaue.
W would like your assistance or reccaaanenaations on selecting a
e
panelist representing managed competition. Please contact either

community about a wide array of health topics, and to provide on-site medical assessments. These topics
include hypertension, emergency and pediatric medicine, physical therapy, CPR. breast exams, AIDS, nutrition
and pulmonary function.
I
As you know, the African-American community suffers the highest morbidity and mortality rates in this country. We do agree that everyone in this country should have the benefit of health care, but we must know how
this plan will affect us and the people we serve. We wish to support you in your efforts to reform health care;
however, we need a better understanding of the ovejrall plan. We believe that healthy individuals build

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

designed to introduce promising medical student leaders to the
health policy process, current topics in health policy, and their role as
advocates.
The purpose of this letter is to invite Mr. Epstein to participate as a

After everyone has presented there will be time for questions and
answers. If Mr. Epstein has a time constraint it is possible to
schedule him to speak first at 3:00 p.m. and answer any questions
immediately after rather than staying for the full three hour session.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
For the sixth consecutive year, the American Medical Student Association (AMSA)
Foundation is conducting its Washington Health Policy Fellowship Program (WHPFP).
The eight week summer experience is designed to introduce promising medical students as
well as other health professional student leaders to the national health policy process,
current topics in health policy and their role as public health advocates. Fifteen students
were selected to participate in this summer's program out of an applicant pool of 70. The
Washington Health Policy Fellowship Program is scheduled from June 13th through
August 5th.
Under the Bush administration, Gail Wilensky, Ph.D., addressed our fellows concerning
their health policy priorities. This summer, our 1994 fellows would welcome the
opportunity to discuss with you the administration's health pohcy priorities for the year.
Enclosed is a list of the fellows and their summer placement sites, a Washington Health
Policy Fellowship Program brochure and an American Medical Student Association/
Foundation brochure.
Recognizing your schedule is very demanding, we would appreciate having you suggest a
date and time when you would be available to meet with the fellows. The only time that the
fellows are not available is the week of June 13th. Please telephone me at (703) 620-6600,
ext. 207 with your reply at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for giving our request careful consideration. I look forward to your response.

WHAT IS AGING 2000?
Aging 2000 is a grass-roots
organization of seniors, health care
and social service professionals
and other interested Rhode
Islanders who have studied the
present health care system and set
out to improve it.
The guiding philosophies of Aging
2000 are that health care should be
directed by a team that includes
the patient, the physician and other
care providers, and that each
individual's plan of care should be
designed to keep the person as
healthy and independent as
possible for as long as possible.
Q.
A.
WHAT IS THE AGING 2000
DEMONSTRATION?
In cooperation with the major
insurers and HMOs covering
seniors in Rhode Island, Aging
2000 is offering specially
structured new health plans.
People who enroll in one of the
Aging 2000 demonstrations will
receive all the benefits of their
existing plan, plus the new benefits
of Aging 2000 at no additional
cost.
Aging 2000 members will be al the
forefront of a new, consumeroriented health care system.
Q.
A -
HOW IS AGING 2000
DIFFERENT?
As ar Aging 2000 member, you
will have a primary care physician
who has made a commitment to
spend more time with you. to
involve you in the planning of
your care and to make every effort
to see that care is provided in the
most efficient and comfortable
setting.
Q.
A.

Ol
CD
And Aging 2000 offers more!
In addition to your present
coverage. Aging 2000 may pay for
additional preventive, treatment or
support services based on your
individual needs. Reimbursement
for services that are not covered by
traditional plans will be made on
an individual basis in accordance
with your care plan. In other
words. Aging 2000 will help
identify and pay for the kinds of
care that can make a real
difference to your health and
independence. The amount of
coverage and the services covered
will not be (he same for all
members.
In addition to the physician, your
health care team will include other
care providers such as nurses.
physical therapists, pharmacists
and social workers.
Aging 2000 provides each new
member with an especially
thorough examination called a
comprehensive functional
assessment. This includes a
physical exam as well as a review
of your medical history and your
present lifestyle. It is designed to
find and, if possible, prevent health
problems before they become
serious enough to require hospitalization or other expensive and
disruptive treatments.
This assessment is used to design
an individualized plan for your
present and future health care,
includingrecommendationsfor a
healthy lifestyle.
3>
WHAT DOES AGING 2000 ^
COVER?
Aging 2000 covers everything your
present Medicare and supplemental
plans cover, at the same cos! you
pay now.
This special flexibility, unlike any
other health care plan, is designed
to give you the best care for your
individual needs while controlling
costs for the entire system.
Q.
A.
WHAT IF I TRY AGING 2000
AND DON'T LIKE IT?
You can return to your present
plan at any time with no penalty or
loss of benefits.

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
March 25, 1994
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On behalf of the American Medical Women's Association (AMWA), representing 13,000 women
physicians and medical students nationwide, I wish to thank you and President Clinton for including me at
your December 16, 1993 press conference in support of the Health Security Act. AMWA was grateful for
the opportunity to join nine other physician organizations in affirming that there is indeed broad diversity
among health providers and their attitudes toward comprehensive health care reform.
I am also pleased to invite you to join us -- at your convenience - at theJi!2fi_AMWA Interim Meeting,
to be held June 24-27, 1994. at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, DC.
Founded in 1915, AMWA is dedicated to supporting women in medicine and promoting women's health.
The Interim Meeting is an annual event which gathers nearly two hundred AMWA leaders from around
the country for four days of advocacy skill-building, legislative briefings, and congressional visits. Our
members will be updated about the legislative debate over health care reform, and their crucial role in the
ongoing effort to assure equitable, comprehensive coverage of women's health concerns.
Although AMWA enthusiastically supports your and President Clinton's dedication to assuring universal
coverage for all Americans and to addressing the historic neglect of women patients by our health care
system, there remain specific portions of the Health Security Act which we believe should be broadened
and clarified, such as those dealing with mammography screening, Pap smears, abortion, mental health,
and long term care. Your presence at the Interim Meeting would offer the ideal opportunity for you to
emphasize your own goals for women's health under health care reform, and for our physicians to hilly
articulate their concerns.
I have enclosed for your reference a copy of a letter AMWA recently sent to President Clinton, which
outlines more fully our reservations about the Health Security Act's women's health provisions.
I do hope you will be able to join us in June. Please have your staff contact Eileen McGrath, Executive
Director, or Lois Schoenbrun. Deputy Executive Director, at AMWA's national office to notify us of your
response.
Sincerely,
Kathryn C/Bemmann, MD
President

SPEAKING ENGAGHMENT FOR IRA MAGAZINER
Attached is the letter Gary requested when we spoke yesterday. It gives all the details
of our request for Ira Magaziner to speak at our annual conference. As 1 told Gary
during our phone conversation I have also spoken to Marge Tarmey's office regarding
this request.
If Ira is unavailable, we would be more than pleased to have another senior health
policy spokesman such as Judith l eder, Walter Zelman, or Ken Thorpe speak. Please
let me know at your earliest convenience who might be available. T greatly appreciate
your consideration. Call me should you have any questions.

Dear Ira:
I am writing to invite you to speak at tlie Maryland Hospital Association Annual
Summer Execulive Conference at Ocean Cily, Md. on Friday morning, June 24,
1994. We would welcome die opportunity to have you provide us with an inside view
of what you believe the final version of federal health reform will look like.
The conference is attended by nearly 100 CEOs and members of the executive
management team of hospitals in Maryland. The conference extends over three days,
beginning June 22 and concluding on Friday morning, June 24.
This year's conference, as you might expect, will be devoted to restructuring health
care delivery in Maryland, with discussions about forming community health networks,
how reform will change delivery, and the necessary leadership skills to appropriately
reform the delivery of care.
I'm certain you must be deluged by requests to speak, but I am hopeful that we can
entice you with an excuse to come to the Maryland shore on a Friday in June.
However, I realize that given Congress' reform timetable, this may prove impossible.
If that's the case, wc do hold our annual meeting in Baltimore on Wednesday, June 8
beginning at 4 pm at tlie BW1 Airport-Marriott. If that fits your schedule better, we
would be more than pleased to have you speak at that meeting instead of at our
conference.

On behalf of the board of directors and members of the National

your outstanding presentation a t N.G.A.'s Washington Conference
health care panel on Thursday, June 23. Thank you for sharing
your expertise and the Clinton administration's perspective on

know that i t was not necessarily the popular position i n which to

information which you provided to our membership proved helpful
to them i n evaluating the effect on t h e i r businesses.
Once again, I appreciate your taking the time to share Lhe

to make our conference an outstanding success. I look forward to
working with you during the remainder of the 103rd Congress.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
On June 23-25,1994, the National Association of Healthcare Consultants will be hosting their annual
conference in Williamsburg, Virginia at The Lodge. This conference will bring together over 400
healthcare business consultants who regularly advise more than 80,000 physicians in private fee-forservice practices throughout the United States. As Chairman of the Conference Committee, I am
cordially inviting you to be our keynote speaker at the opening general session of this conference
Thursday morning, June 23, 1994. We, as well as the physicians we advise, are very interested in
hearing your thoughts about "Reforming Our Healthcare System". Your presentation would run
from 8:00-9:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
Mr. Magaziner, as you well know, healthcare reform is a prime concern of the administration; all
employers (including doctors' offices); hospitals; insurance companies and every citizen (whether
insured now or not). Our physician clients want to know how healthcare reform will impact the
delivery of and payment for healthcare services they provide their patients. Will their patients be
paying more for their healthcare services? Is our reformed system really going to be less cumbersome
and burdensome for all providers in order to keep the overall costs of healthcare at a reasonable
level? Finally, what can we do as advisers to 80,000 physicians nationally to help you disseminate
the latest infonnation concerning President Clinton's vision for healthcare reform?
We sincerely hope that you will accept our invitation to address the conference attendees this June
in Williamsburg. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. If you have any
questions concerning the group or this conference, I can be reach at 1-800-888-1932. I would be
happy to answer any questions you have.

Dear Mrs. Rodham Clinton,
Although we understand you are unable to speak to our association on
health care reform, I wanted to thank you for your consideration. W
e
understood from the beginning that your schedule might not permit you to
attend our national convention, so we have been working with the Task Force
Scheduler since November to secure a back-up speaker. Unfortunately,
despite the fact that we were assured that someone from the Health Care
Reform Task Force would be available i f you were unable to attend, we are
now told this i s not possible. Since we are only 3 weeks away from our
convention, we are working through Senator Boren's office to seek assistance
in finding a speaker who could represent the Administration's viewpoint.
W are s t i l l hopeful that a regional task force director w i l l be able
e
to speak to our audience of 1,000 women who work i n the insurance industry.
Because we are not a lobbying group, but rather dedicated to helping women
advance their careers i n the insurance industry, NAIW t r i e s hard to present
issues i n a balanced manner. Other speakers on the agenda w i l l be giving
the insurance agents' perspective and the Fortune 500 viewpoint.
NAIW's national convention is June 22 - 25 i n New Orleans, Louisiana.
The time we have reserved for a speaker from the White House i s Saturday,
June 25, from 9:00 to 10:00 at the New Orleans Marriott. Any assistance you
might give us i n finding a Task Force member to present the Adminstration's
viewpoint on Health Care Reform would be greatly appreciated.

1000 GIRLS AND WOMEN GATHER IN LOS ANGELES
TO IDENTIFY STRATEGIES TO COMBAT VIOLENCE, RACISM
AND POVERTY PLAGUING NATION
YWCA of the U.S.A. Hold National Convention in Los Angeles June 22-26
Los Angeles, June 2 1 - One thousand girls and women from across the country are meeting
on Los Angeles June 22-26 for the 33rd National Convention of the YWCA of the U.S.A.
Convention highlights include: Racial Justice Day (June 24) featuring a panel discussion and
luncheon, a fun run and presentation of the Sojourner Truth Award (June 25) and the National
Teen Assembly (June 21).
The YWCA of the U.S.A., the nation's oldest women's organization, continues its pioneering
legacy in the effort to improve the lives of girls and women. Always at the forefront of
important social issues, YWCAs are one of: the largest providers of non-profit day care
service in the country, tending to more than 352,000 children; the largest non-profit
providers of job-training, guiding more than 90,000 women to economic independence; the
largest providers of non-profit shelter services, assisting 291,000 women and children.
Historically, the YWCA of the U.S.A. has worked to develop effective solutions to problems
confronting girls and women from diverse racial and economic backgrounds: it responded to
the Industrial Revolution and women workers migrating to urban areas by forming the first
boarding house for women in New York City in the 1860s; in 1870 it launched the first day
care program in Philadelphia in 1864; organized the first employment bureau for girls and
women; In 1882, it created racial justice progamming; It sponsored tlie first international
conference of women physicians in 1919; it became the first major U.S. institution to begin
divestment in South Africa in the 1960s; it was the first women's organization to serve on the
U.S. Olympic Committee in 1988.
The YWCA of the U.S.A. involves more than two million girls, women and their families in
400 member associations in more than 4,000 locations nationwide. A mission-based
organization, the YWCA works toward the empowerment of women and the elimination of
racism. For more information, contact Marcelle Soviero at (212) 614-2700.

Dear Ms. Hayes:
Pursuant to my discussion with Dr. Arnold Epstein, I am writing to formally
request White House approval for Dr. Epstein's participation in the American
Society for Clinical Laboratory Science's Health Care Reform Symposium which
will be held during our annual meeting next summer. ASCLS has worked with Dr.
Epstein over the past several months on quality issues surrounding clinical
laboratory testing and we value his opinion and insights. Our membership, which
consists of more than 20,00 clinical laboratory professionals, would very much
appreciate having an opportunity to discuss our concerns surrounding health care
reform with an Administration spokesperson.
The health care reform symposium will be held on Tuesday, June 2 1 , 1993
at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. While the symposium is all day, we
would only need Dr. Epstein's participation from 8:30 - 12:00 during which we will
discuss global health care issues. He would of course be welcomed to stay for the
entire day. Arnie and I have tentatively discussed his doing a short keynote
presentation on the Clinton Plan as well as discussing the National Quality
Management Program on our second panel which will examine Outcomes
Measurement. We have also invited Dr. Risa Lavizza Mourey from AHCPR to
participate on this panel although her participation seems questionable at this
point.
We are anticipating an audience of approximately 3 0 0 - 4 0 0 laboratory
managers, supervisors, educators and staff technologists. In addition, we are
currently negotiating broadcasting this symposium live through Health Science
Television Network, a private subscription cable network which provides continuing
education to over 1000 hospitals.

�I am enclosing a preliminary agenda of the symposium for your information.
Since we are under a tight printing deadline for our preliminary program, I would be
most appreciative if you could respond by November 2 9 t h . If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

a serious effort to overhaul our healthcare system. Reform legislation will impact on
every aspect of health care from the delivery system to reimbursement to health
profession education. With more than $35 billion dollars at stake, the clinical laboratory
industry will play a significant role in the debate. This all day symposium will examine

Dear Ms. Wellford:
1 left a message on your voice mail (oday at the suggestion of Jeff Shulman in the Public Liaison Office. I am
trying to secure two speakers on health care issues to address students participating in the Washington program
of a Presidential Classroom for Young Americans. Presidential Classroom has long been considered one of the
best participatory programs bringing high school students to Washingion to witness the federal governmem in
action. A nonpartisan, nonprofit civic education organization in its 25lh year, the Classroom immerses
approximately 300 students each week from across the country and abroad in the day-to-day business of
governing in the nation's capital.
During their week in Washington students hear from a variety of individuals who play key roles in the debate
and fonnation of public policy. These speakers provide insights into the realities of the governmental process. I
hope that you will ideniify speakers to present Tbe Presidency Seminar with a focus on the health care debate
and how The White House is working on this issue._The-datcs.thatJ.need_speakers arc listed below. The

The seminar on the presidency is designed to give the students a firsthand view of the role of the White House
in developing public policy, to help them understand die great power of the White House in focusing the nHtional
agenda and to shed light on one or more of the President's current national priorities.
During our winter program speakers on the presidency included Rick Alien, Roderick K. Von Lipsey and Doris
Matsui, among others. We would, of course, be happy with anyone from the President's staff who could address
health care issues and answer questions from the students, but we would be especially pleased if the speaker
were a high ranking official such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, David Gergen, Susan Brophy, Mark D. Gearan,
Harold Ickes or George Stephanopoulos. All of these individuals, except Mrs. Clinton and Mr. fckes, received
an invitation to speak to our students at an eailier date.

More Urm 63,000 graduates of Presidential Classroom fondly credit the program for giving them an appreciation
for the people in all areas of government and government-related activities who contribute to the ongoing
development of sound public policy. I feel tliat this program offers an opi ortunity for the White House to
participate actively in furthering the President's goal of inspiring youth to -.nake a commitment to public service
and to choose careers in the public policy arena.
I will continue to Uy lu reach you by phone, and I hope you will be able i;> identify speakers for our fina civic
educaiion program. Due to the urgency of the situation, I am sending this letter byfoxalong with a brief
overview of the program, a general schedule of activities that have been planned for tlie students and a list of
confirmed spenkers.
I would be delighted to meet with you or anyone at the White House to discuss this further. Please call me at

For immediate release:
Presidential Classroom Celebrating
25 Years of Excellence in Civic Education
it has been a quarter of a centuiy since the first class of senior high school students gathered in
Washington, D.C. as participants in Presidential Classroom's Senior High School Program. Since then,
more than 65,000 outstanding students have traveled to Washington, D.C, to observe the federal
government in action.
Originally a White House program during the Kennedy Administration, Presidential Classroom became
an independent organization in 1968, with our first class in 1969. Qualified high school juniors and
seniors learn what makes this country run while attending seminars with the decision-makers who
shape headlines and history: U.S. Senators and Representatives, Supreme Court Justices, White
House officials, Cabinet members, Ambassadors, political correspondents and business officials.
Students meet with leaders in unique Washington "classrooms,'' including the Capitol Building, the
Supreme Court, the floor of the House of Representatives, the State Department, and government
agencies. They engage in "Crossfire" debates that present a variety of views they otherwise might
never hear. They meet one-on-one with the offices of their Senators and Representatives. And they
visit the monuments and historical treasures of the capital city,
Presidential Classroom is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) civic education organization. The National
Association of Secondary School Principals has placed this program on the National Advisory List of
Contests and Activities for 1993-94. Presidential Classroom has held this honor since our first program
in 1969.

Dear Mr. Hart,
On behalf of the governing board and corporate membership of the Nassau-Suffolk Health
Systems Agency (HSA), I wish to thank you for accepting our invitation to serve as keynote
speaker at our annual meeting on Monday, June 20, 1994 at the Crest Hollow Country Club
in Woodbury, New York.
As you know, the Nassau-Suffolk HSA is the only public forum by which the residents of
Long Island may play an integral part in the health care decision making process. The
Agency provides an open, non-partisan arena for consumers and providers, business and
labor, and government officials to develop joint solutions to local health care concerns, with

Dear Ms. Wellford:
The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) is the national association charged with
representing over 650 American seed companies and related entities. Our membership is
diverse, with members from nearly every state. Many types of commodities are represented
in the ASTA - flowers, vegetables, lawn, cotton, com, soybeans, alfalfa, - virtually every
type of seed. Another category of membership represents our companies that provide
supportive services - things like labels, special equipment unique to the seed industry and
consultants. Finally, our last category covers our state and regional seed associations.
Our 111th annual convention is slated for June 20 - 24 in Minneapolis, MN at the Hilton.
This year, because of the ongoing health reform debate, we like so many other groups are
planning a special session devoted to this issue. Our health care symposium is scheduled for
Monday, June 20 at 1:00 p.m. and will conclude by 3:00 p.m. Our goal is to have a number
of representatives on hand to answer questions and present their particular goals and
objectives in achieving health care reform.
ASTA annual conventions typically attract around 1000 participants. It should be pointed out
that nearly every state will be represented and spouses are active at the convention. Our
member profile includes the very largest companies in the world to very small (by seed
industry standards) companies located in rural areas.
Agriculture's most important component is the seed. Our members are engaged in research
and development and biotechnology, but their interest and responsibility to their families and
employees extends to health care reform. We would be most appreciative of your favorable
consideration in providing to us a knowledgeable and energetic speaker.
Thanks for your assistance and hopefully, positive response. As soon as you can confirm a
speaker's name, we will, of course, publicize to our membership to ensure a healthy turnout.
I look forward to hearingfromyou.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

THE WOUND, OSTOMY AND CONTINENCE
NURSES
SOCIETY
The Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN) is a professional
organization of over 3,000 nurses specializing in the care of patients with wounds,
ostomies (colostomy, ileostomy, urostomy), and incontinence (loss of control of the
bowels and/or bladder). Members of the WOCN are registered nurses and may be
additionally educated as ET Nurses.
Historically, these nurses were titled "enterostomal therapists (ET's)" and specialized
only in the care of patients with ostomies. Because the needs of this patient population
were so great and there were no other health professionals providing this care, "ET's"
became the predominant health care professionals in this market.
As the nursing specialty advanced, "ET's", now referred to as "ET Nurses" became
proficient not only in the management of persons with ostomies but also in managing
wounds and related skin conditions. The result has been a transition of practice from
predominately ostomy care to wound care. Most members of WOCN now report that
the majority of their practice is related to wound care. The wound care market has
experienced explosive expansion in the last five years.
It was a natural progression for ET Nurses to extend their practice into the area ot
incontinence care and the associated skin care and containment problems, in the
iQSO's, incontinence care was acknowledged as a component in the full scope of
practice for ET Nurses.
Today, WOCN membership consists primarily of ET Nurses but also includes those
nurses who specialize in only wound or incontinence care.
As the health care environment changes to a managed-care market, there will
obviously be an increased need for all health care institutions to provide cost-effective
outcome based services for all settings of care. WOCN believes that its members have
a window of opportunity to be an integral part of the future of health care.

In Re: U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce (U.S. Jaycees) Annual Convention June 19-23, 1994
Dear Mike:
Thank you for your correspondence of May 10, 1994.
As of this date, we have not yet received a reply to our letters of invitation to the First Lady and
Vice President Gore. As time is of the essence, I just wanted to follow up and again request
any assistance you might be able to provide in facilitating our request. If the Vice President and
First Lady are unable to attend for some reason, we would appreciate it if you could discuss
Cabinet level options with us.
The 74th Annual Convention in Orlando will host approximately 4-5,000 of the U.S. Junior
Chamber leadership from around the country. I believe this will provide the administration with
needed positive exposure before the nation's youth.
Anything you can do to expeditiously assist us will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to
hearing from you in the near future.
Thanks again for your help, Mike.

Dear Ms. Clinton:
On June 18-22, 1994, the Georgia Pharmacy Association (GPhA) will be holding its 119*
Annual Convention at the Crystal Sands Crowne Plaza Resort on Hilton Head Island, South
Carolina. Because of the dramatic impact which health care reform will have on pharmacists
and the practice of pharmacy, the Convention will be focusing on health care reform issues and,
more specifically, the President's health care reform initiative.
We would like to invite to you to present the Administration's perspective on health care
reform. As you know, organized pharmacy, including the Georgia Pharmacy Association, is
offering strong support of the President's package, so our member-pharmacists would be very
receptive to your message.
In terms of attendance at the meeting, we fully expect this meeting to establish new
attendance records (last year we had nearly 1,000 registered attendees). We will be flexible in
scheduling your appearance on any day (Sunday afternoon through Wednesday noon) during the
Convention and will afford you with as much time as you request. However, we are beginning
to finalize arrangements with speakers and programs. We would respectfully ask for the favor
of a reply by May 1st.
We sincerely hope that you will be able to be with us for this very exciting meeting and
opportunity ro share your vision of our health care system with Georgia pharmacists.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Palermo:
Confirming our telephone conference, we are requesting
a luncheon speaker of the highest level to discuss the Clinton healthcare
proposals for the summer meeting of the Licensing Executive's Society
(U.S.A. & Canada) Inc., at Williamsburg, Virginia (at the
Williamsburg Inn and Lodge), on Friday, June 17, 1994.
The Licensing Executive's Society (U.S.A. & Canada)
Inc. ("LES"), is the premier organization of business persons and
lawyers engaged in technology transfer. If you need more information
on the organization itself, please let me know.
The caliber of attendees and participants is itself of a
high level. Note from the enclosed schedule of events that Charles
Sanders, Chairman of the Executive Committee (and former CEO) of
Glaxo has been invited to speak at the Thursday lunch and Mr. Szeto

Dear First Lady:
I am pleased to invite you again to a health care issues luncheon sponsored by Hoechst-Roussel
Pharmaceuticals Inc. (HRPI). As you know the last one had to be canceled due to the National
Day of Mourning for President Nixon.
Our luncheon will be held in the Mansfield Room (S207) of the U.S. Capitol, at 11:45 a.m., on
Thursday, June 16, 1994. The forum program will begin with a short reception at 11:45 a.m., and
lunch will be served at 12:15 p.m. The presentation will begin shortly before 1:00 p.m., and there
will be ample time for discussion and questions. We promise to conclude by 2:00 p.m.
Keynoting this special program will be Hoechst-Roussel's Vice President and General Manager,
Ed Marro, whose topic will be "Pharmaceutical Health Care: A Vision for Today and
Tomorrow." Ed is exceptionally qualified to discuss this rapidly changing industry, and brings
extensive experience in both the international and U.S. pharmaceutical industry markets. He will
offer interesting insights as to who stands to win and lose -- and why - if health care reform is not
done right.
We believe the pharmaceutical industry is uniquely poised to make significant contributions to the
improvement of the quality of life of every American. What Congress does with health care
reform will determine the extent to which we all benefit from these contributions.
By way of background, Hoechst is one of the world's largest and leading pharmaceutical
manufacturers, with operations in every industrialized nation. Because we have been directly
involved with health care reform in other countries, HRPI brings a unique perspective to the
health care debate in this country. HRPI has a commitment to health care reform that is
underscored by the resources we are devoting to exploring common ground so that the final
product approved by Congress will continue to keep America's medical and pharmaceutical care
as the best in the world. As America's health care system is changing, so are we, and our
objective is to work with key policy makers who will determine the course for health care reform.
I hope that you will be able to join us for this special program. I guarantee an informative, well
paced, and insightful session. To confirm your luncheon reservation, please call us in the
Washington office of Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 202/296-2890.
Sincerely,,

It is a pleasure to invite you to address the 8th Annual National
Conference of the National Council for Public-Private Partnerships on
Monday, June 13th or Tuesday, June 14th, 1994 at the Sheraton Washington
Hotel in Washington, D.C. This year's theme is "Creating Partnership
Opportunities with Reinvented Governments."
The Council is a non-profit, non-partisan, educational association
dedicated to exploring the practical uses of the private sector in the delivery
of public services and the development of public works and community
facilities. Now in our ninth year, we are a membership organization
composed of business leaders and senior public officials at all levels of
government working to foster innovative approaches to the challenges
facing government.
Our annual conference is the only national meeting drawing together
representatives from both the public and private sectors looking to solve
problems through public-private partnerships.
We expect over 400
participants from government and business in two days of roundtable
discussions, technical sessions, "how-to" workshops and special issues
sessions on the National Performance Review, health care reform,
infrastructure investments under E.O. 12893, the information superhighway,
and other timely concerns. Our honorary program chairman is Mayor
Stephen Goldsmith of Indianapolis. The program also includes the 6th
Annual Partnership Awards, sponsored by American City and County
magazine.
Your address would provide the participants with a crucial
perspective on the creative uses of these partnerships as part of the effort to
reinvigorate government to meet the needs of our people. Prior keynote
speakers have included Vice President Quayle, Senators Hollings and
Sasser, Governor Weld, Secretary Kemp, OMB Director Miller and Mayor
Goode.
For you information, I have enclosed some material on the Council
and our conferences. I would be delighted to work with you or a member
of your staff to arrange the details of your participation.
Very truly yours,
David Seader

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress.

Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

restructuring.
The company is preparing a conference for its clients, which is to be held on Nov. 3 and
Nov. 4, 1994, at the Poachtree Executive Conference Center in Atlanta, GA. I am
inquiring with you to find out if a Clinton Administration official would be interested in
delivering the keynote iddress on Nov. 3 to the audience largely composed of hospital
and health-care facility CEOs and administrators.
Founded In 1968, E.C Murphy has sorvod over 400 health care organizations in North
America and Europe, including Johns Hopkins, Massachusetts General, Los Angeles
County Medical Center and Memorial Sloan-Kettering. The Centers for Disease
Control, the Department of Defense, IBM and AT&T are among the other organizations
served by the Buffalo-based consulting company.
As E.C. Murphy's public relations firm, C^oliins & Company is assisting in coordinating
some of the logistics of setting up the conference, including procuring a speaker to
complete the two-day series of seminars and lectures.
Thank you for your assistance, and I will be in touch with you soon.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Feder,.
I am writing to invite you to piesem the Iftiynote address at Washington's upcoming
conference "Clinical IvaboratoriBS Under Health Reform" on November 9 in Tacoma,
Washington. I tiave heard manj' complimeais on your visit to this area on behalf of Senator
Murray to discuss health refonn issues. E veryone appreciated your candor, insight and great
humor. The local publlic health officials ^«:re particularly grateful for the time you spent with
them and have commented to tiieir colleagiiies that you would be an outstanding keynote
speaker at this event.
This state vi'ide conference is ini£;iiided to provide clinical laboratorians in Washington, as a
state currently implementing health .reform: with a state and national perspective on the future
of the hciilth care delivery systtira aJler n^form is implemented. Clinical laboratories form a
significant component of the health care sy stem, wiith laboratory costs accounting for four
percent of the nation's total hetilth care budget. Laboratories have, over time, become the
highest ai^a of in-patient clinical costs after daily care. The clinical laboratory provides
almost 50% of the dai:a that a physician iitLlizes in making his or her diagnosis and in
prescribing treaimenl parameters.
Clinical laboratorians are often left out o' policy development and planning discussions.
Consequently, policy makers mm poteint ally valuable information when formulating policy
as well m laboratorians being iriable to peiforra long range planning. The Washington
Department of Health has taken tiie lead uri this area by developmg a Clinical Laboratory
Initiative, a collaborative effort Ix^tvceen public and private laboratories to assess
Washington's health reform process; and o provide mput into the process of establishing

state issues.
Altiiough the focus of the conftjrence will on clinical laboratory concerns (see attached

reform issues. We would be particularly interested in the status of any national healtii reform

Dear Mr. President:
I am the Chair of the Oncology Nursing Committee of the Cancer
and Leukemia Group B (CALGB), which is one of three multidisciplinary
cooperative cancer research groups funded by the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), a division of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). I have enclosed a brochure which describes the organization
and activities of this group for your review.
As Chair of the Oncology Nursing Committee, I am in the process
of arranging the scientific program for the Fall Meeting, to be held
in Atlanta on November 4, 1994. The scientific programs of the
Committee address the needs and concerns of research nurses,
physicians and other scientific members of the CALGB. Given the
current activities directed toward reforming the health care system in
the United States, there is intense interest among the members of our
group regarding the impact that health care reform will have on
medical care generally, and more specifically, on the care of the
patient with cancer and on cancer research activities.
I have been in contact with Senator Simons' office since June

their assistance in obtaining a speaker from Washington, DC to address
our group on November 4, 1994 in Atlanta, Georgia. I realize that i t
would be d i f f i c u l t , given her intense schedule, for Mrs. Clinton to
address us, but I know of no other who would better address the issues
and concerns that this audience will have. I realize that currently
there are issues of higher priority that require your attention and
that of your staff. I f there is someone you could suggest I speak
with or perhaps forward this letter to, i t would be greatly
appreciated. I can be reached at 312-702-0454, and would appreciate
the opportunity to discuss this with you or a member of your staff.
Thank you for your time and interest.

Dear Ms. Wellfort,
I would like to introduce myself, I am a staff surgeon at the University of Pennsylvania Health
Center in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. I was given your name by Ms.
Morgan Hillis who is a patient of mine. We have organized a continuing education Health
Symposium titled Heahh Care for the Twenty-First Century to be held at the University of
Pennsylvania on November 18, 1994. Since the President's Heahh Care Reform Plan is integral to
all upcoming changes, we would like to invite you as the administration's representative to speak
at the symposium.
The Symposium would be a day long event in which chief representatives of Blue Cross,
US Healthcare, and other carriers, would provide their visions of the future direction of
healthcare. Also, University of Pennsylvania oificials would give their views of the role of
hospitals and providers in the new Healthcare Age.
The conference is meant to give physicians, dentists and healthcare providers a more precise view
of their future. There will be opportunity for questions and answers at the end of the symposium.

Dear Senator Kempthorne,
The Idaho Conference on Health Care is an annual event held on the Idaho State
University campus. The purpose of our meeting is to bring together the many
constituencies throughout the state of Idaho who are interested in current health care
issues. Our meeting this year is scheduled to begin on the evening of Wednesday,
November 16 and continue through Friday, November 18, 1994. The purpose of the
meeting is to provide both education on health care issues as well as an opportunity for
the citizens of Idaho to dialogue and make recommendations concerning health care
reform particularly at the state level. Typically the meeting opens on a Wednesday
evening with a keynote speaker of some national repute. In the past, former Governor
Richard Lamm and William Shiao, Harvard University, have addressed the conferees.
Because of the prominence of health care reform at the national level, I am
writing to ask your assistance in locating a speaker who can come to Idaho to present a
timely accounting of the status of health care reform in Washington, D.C. I assure you
that, while the conference is held in Southeastern Idaho that it does command a
statewide coverage. In the past Idaho Public TV has taped portions of our meeting for
telecast over the public TV network. The citizenry of Idaho are obvious very interested
in the impact of any kind of health care reform on sparsely populated states with low
provider to patient ratios.
I thank you in advance for whatever assistance you can give us. I look forward to
hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
On behalf of the Planning Committee of the International Symposium on
Health Management, we take pleasure in inviting your participation as a
keynote speaker at this event. This symposium is the culminating event of
McMaster University's Faculty of Health Sciences Tricennial celebrations
which honors three decades of excellence and innovation in education,
research and health service delivery.
The international audience will be particularly interested in your
contributions and knowledge in the areas of managing change on health
reform. As a general framework, we would be honored if you would
address the process of change from your perspective, and the successes
and disappointments of the changes which are occuring in health reform in
the United States. Should you be available, the format of the presentation
would, of course, be your choice.
The dates of the conference are November 12-15, 1994 and it will take
place in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. One objective of the conference is to
stimulate debates around the social fabric which underlies our health care
system and mechanisms to manage change to ensure that we are able to
continue the delivery of universal health care with efficient and effective
management practices.

�The design of the Intemational Symposium is innovative in nature and
built around a community model stressing integration and participation.
Or intent is to illustrate the need for concurrent processes which involve
the broad constituencies of a true community. In addition, the model
suggests the importance of a high degree of sensitivity through the
interdependence of systems components.
The anticipated audience for this event is approximately 600 individuals
from around the world representing a range of health disciplines,
professions, policy makers and academic leaders in the health and
management domains. We would very much like to explore Mrs. Rodham
Clinton's interest in participating as well and would be most grateful for
your advice or assistance in approaching her. Other notable keynote
speakers include Premier Bob Rae, His Royal Highness The Prince of
Wales, The Right Honourable Pierre Elliot Trudeau, among others and
notable academics from the areas of health and management. In addition,
I have enclosed some background information on the symposium and the
developments which have lead us to this point.
Please accept our thanks for considering this request. It would indeed be
an honor to welcome you to McMaster University for what we believe
will be an important and innovative international offering.
Sincerely.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
On behalf of the American Fertility Society I would like to invite you to
address the Society during a Plenary Session during our 1994 annual
meeting in San Antonio, Texas, on Tuesday, November 8, 1994. We
would be honored if you could present a 45-minute lecture addressing the
current status of health care reform in the United States. You should feel
free to select a title of your own choosing.
The membership of the American Fertility Society exceeds 11,000 and
there were over 3,200 scientific attendants at the 1993 meeting. The
Society has served as an educational forum for scientists, clinicians, and
patients; and consists of gynecologists, urologists, medical
endocrinologists, basic science researchers, and nurses. Our meetings have
been extensively covered by national and intemational media in the past
and I am sure that your presentation would be of particular interest.
The 1994 Annual Meeting will be the 50th anniversary of the Society and
our theme will be "50 Years of Progress." Many of the talks will offer an
historical perspective. If you are able to accept our invitation, we would
like to award you a $ 1,000 honorarium and can cover airfare (full
economy), two days of actual expenses, and ground transportation between
home, airports, and the meeting site.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
This letter will hopefully serve as an introduction and an invitation. As the President Elect of
the New York Society for Thoracic Surgery, it is my pleasure and responsibility to select the
after-dinner speaker for our annual dinner meeting which will be on November 10, 1994. At that
time, the entire faculty of cardiac and thoracic surgeons from the New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut areas gathers for a series of academic presentations in cardiac and thoracic surgery
followed by dinner and a 30 - 45 minute presentation by a selected non-medical speaker. As you
are now doubt aware, cardiac and thoracic surgery is a very high profile and closely monitored
field within medicine particularly within the state of New York. We would be honored to have
either one of'you be our invited guest for this meeting. The meeting always occurs in the
University Club, which is on 54th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and runs very tightly on
schedule.
I am including for your review, a copy of the most recent guest speakers that have participated in
these meetings, all of whom are quite notable for one accomplishment or another. I am fully aware
that your schedule is extremely busy, and that such a presentation may be totally out of the range
of possibility for numerous logistic and scheduling reasons as well as others. If this is indeed,
the case, please do let me know so that we may pursue other options. However, if you or any
member of your immediate staff would be able to accomodate this requrest, I would appreciate the
earliest possible notification so that we can work with you to secure the best possible results.
There is some fiexibility within the timing as well as the format (time, date, etc).
Healthcare is very much on all of our minds these days and within the field of academic cardiac
and thoracic surgery particularly so. We strive to improve the results, refine surgical
indications and minimize complicaUons on a daily basis. We are all interested in providing
uniform access to healthcare as well as assuring the highest possible quality available.
Cardiothoracic surgical healthcare, at least in the State of New York where it is closely studied
and indeed, publicly reported. Cardiothoracic surgery is truly a work product that the American
people can be proud of. To the best of my knowledge we have the lowest risk rates for any type of
cardiac surgical procedure performed within the United States. I very much appreciate your time
in reviewing this request and look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
1, M.D.

Dear Mr. Lattimore.
I was so pleased to see the article about your exciting new career in the Winter, 1993
BREVARD MAGAZINE. I graduated in the BC class of 1969, and returned to Brevard
College in 1981 (...just as you were graduating) to follow Mrs. Buck as College
Counselor. I also spent two delightful years working with Don Scarborough in various
jobs in the Office of Student Affairs. One of my greatest joys is being godmother to
Patrick, Don and Mikie's youngest son.
For the past ten years I have been working in the Buncombe County Schools as a high
school and elementary school counselor. For the past two years I have served as the
Elementary Vice President of the North Carolina School Counselor Association.
Recently, I have been consulting with our President-Elect, Carolyn Pattillo, concerning
her invitation to our First Lady, Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, to address the NCSCA
Fall Conference in Greensboro, NC, on November 8 or 9, 1994
I hope you will convey to Mrs. Clinton how interested North Carolina School
Counselors are in her health care initiatives for children. In serving North Carolina's
school-age children, we often see situations in which children are not to learn because
their parents cannot access adequate health care. Adequate health care is a
necessary prerequisite for school success.

Dear Ms. Hays:
I am writing to follow up a request for a speaker at the 1994 conference of the Minnesota Perinatal Organization
on November 3rd and 4th, 1994 at the Airport Bloomington Marriott next to the Mall of America. Our
ganization would be most pleased if Hillary Clinton would have time to address the issue of health care reform
a its effect on women and children.
The Minnesota Perinatal Organization is a unique group of physicians, nurse practitioners, midwives, nurses,
social workers, public health workers, pharmacists, dietitians and administrators, many of whom are specialists
in the fields of perinatology and neonatology and all of whom are dedicated to the promotion of the highest
quality care to women and newborns and to improve perinatal outcomes. Our membership is 500 and we are
unique in our organization and collaboration of many disciplines in health care seeking the same goal.
In 1994, MPO is celebrating its 20th year of collaborating for excellence. As the current president of MPO,
I would be happy to speak with you or Mrs. Clinton regarding this engagement. The work of MPO is extremely
important to the well-being of women and children in this state. This organization would be very honored if
Mrs. Clinton is able to address her issues of importance in health care reform to us.
Thank-you very much for your consideration. I would appreciate hearing from you at yoiu" earliest convenience.

William J. Clinton
The President of the United States
Executive Office of the President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President:
I had the great pleasure of meeting you during the physician's breakfast briefing on health
care reform which you and the First Lady so graciously hosted at the White House on
September 20, 1993. I continue to be very impressed with your leadership in unprecedented
attempts by an Administration to reach out and embrace the ideas and hopes of the
American people in a matter which is truly the most personal political issue touching every
American: health care. As a physician, I am an intimate and daily witness to the myriad
faces of health care in America; and for that reason, I am even more impressed with the
immediacy with which you and the First Lady have embraced national health care reform.
Likewise, the 35,000 physicians represented by the American Osteopathic Association
(AGA) have watched with great interest and support your commitment to the public health
of this nation. The osteopathic medical profession wishes to continue in partnership with
you as you continue this commitment through legislative efforts on Capitol Hill. The drive
toward meaningful health care reform promises to continue as the pivotal policy focus of
1994, and the osteopathic medical profession will remain committed to its success. To that
end, I write to invite you to offer the keynote address at the 1994 Annual Convention and
Scientific Seminar of the American Osteopathic Association. The convention will take place
November 13-18, 1994 in San Francisco, California. The ADA would be honored if you
would offer the keynote address to its members on Monday, November 14, at 8:00 a.m.
Mr. President, as you know, the unique focus of osteopathic medicine, with its guiding
principle of treating the whole person has rooted the profession in a philosophy which
emphasizes primary care and prevention. I know that you agree with the osteopathic
medical profession that these elements are vital to the health security of the nation.
�One point on which virtually all experts on health system reform agree is that the
disproportionately high percentage of recent medical school graduates choosing to specialize
in areas other than primary care, and their distribution nationally is a significant contributor
to the American health care crisis. Because of this fact, a significant and critical demand
for primary care physicians has developed - a trend which will not easily be reversed. Over
fifty percent of osteopathic physicians practice in primary care areas, such as pediatrics,
general practice obstetrics/gynecology (OB/GYN) and internal medicine. Obviously, the
osteopathic profession provides a priceless resource in our nation's struggle against this
trend. While osteopathic physicians may choose to specialize, the osteopathic internship
requires a unique rotation in internal medicine, OB/GYN, family practice and surgery,
ensuring that osteopathic physicians are first trained as primary care physicians.
Mr. President, the AOA's 1994 Annual Convention promises to be an excifing and groundbreaking celebration and exploration of the new world evolving under nafional health system
reform. Your presence would serve as a strong reminder that physicians trained in primary
care areas are a vital and valued link to successful and meaningful health system reform.
I hope that you can join the AOA during their 1994 Annual Convention and Scientific
Seminar, and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.

Dear Ms. Hays,
I am requesting a speaker for the 1994 Minnesota Perinatal Conference to address health care reform
and the effect on women and children. Our organization would appreciate if Hilary Clinton would
have time to address this topic to physicians, nurses, and other health care disciplines that do attend
our annual conference. The conference is titled "Celebrating 20 Years, Minnesota Perinatal
Organization Collaborating for Excellence." The conference will be held November 3 and 4, 1994,
in the Minneapolis area. It is marketed to the entire state and does draw in a lot of rural and primary
care physicians and other health care professionals.
I am past president of Minnesota Perinatal Organization and involved on the planning committee. 1
would be very interested in having an opportunity to speak with Mrs. Clinton and see if she would
like to take on this engagement. 1 do understand her schedule is very busy and if she is not able to
attend, perhaps you would have someone else that you could recommend. 1 know Mrs. Clinton has
been to Minnesota on occasion and to the Mayo Clinic where 1 am currently employed. I know the
health care professionals who attend this meeting would very much like to hear from her and by
November of 1994, we certainly will have some more concrete things in place.
Thank you very much for your time and attention. I would appreciate hearing from you at your
earliest convenience.

Re: Request for Speaker
We need your assistance in obtaining a speaker for our fall Dallas-Ft. Worth CEBS
educational meeting on healthcare reform. We wish to secure a representative of
the administration who can speak with authority on this subject such as Hillary
Rodman Clinton or Donna Shalala. The audience will include representatives from
the largest and most prestigious Dallas-Ft. Worth corporations. This major
metropolitan area has not yet had the opportunity to hear first hand from Ms. Clinton
or Ms. Shalala on the issue of healthcare reform.
The targeted date is October 27, 1994. We begin our meetings with a continental
breakfast (7:30 - 8:00 a.m.). Immediately following, the guest speaker generally has
an hour to address the group. However, we are open to alternate dates and times if
it is possible to secure Ms. Clinton or Ms. Shalala. The Chapter will cover expenses
to and from Dallas, including an honorarium. If neither Ms. Clinton nor Ms. Shalala
is available for that date or an alternate date, perhaps Ira Magaziner or Judith Feder
is available. If not, please suggest an appropriate representative.
The major objective and purpose of Dallas-Ft. Worth Chapter of the International
Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists (CEBS) is to improve and develop
the educational needs of those persons who hold the CEBS designation. Jointly
sponsored by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans and the
Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, the CEBS program covers the legal,
organizational and financial areas underlying employee benefit plans. Individuals
who successfully complete a series of ten comprehensive examinations earn the
CEBS designation. To obtain and maintain Fellowship status, CEBS graduates must
successfully pass additional comprehensive exams covering the most recent
changes in employee benefit law and practices. Members of our Chapter include
benefit managers, consultants, insurance company representatives, trust officers,
administrations, attorneys, accountants', investment specialists and other employee
benefit professionals.

Dear Mr. Zelman:
For over a decade, SMS has sponsored the Health Executives Forum, a program designed specifically
for Chief Executive Officers, Trustees, and Medical Staff Presidents of healthcare institutions from the
United States and abroad. This year the Forum will take place from October 31 until November 2 at

and the emerging business strategies and new leadership initiatives that will be critical in taking
healthcare executives into the 21st century. We anticipate audience of 300 healthcare executives
representing the nation's leading enterprises, university hospitals and clinics.
We would like you to speak on the healthcare debate and the rationale behind the key decisions in
Presidmt Clinton's Health Reform Plan. You are invited to speak for 45 minutes, including questions
and answers, on Monday, October 31.
In addition to your presentation, we would be pleased to have you attend as many of the other Forum
sessions, social and recreational activities as your schedule allows, as our guest. We will, of course,
be responsible for an iq)propriate honorarium and for travel and hotel costs incurred in connection with
your participation in this program. We cordially invite your spouse to join you.
I will contact your office within two weeks to provide you with any additional information you may
require and to discuss your availability. In the meanwhile, you may be interested in SMS' aimual
report and in the 1994 Forum program.
We are looking forward to a most successful 13th Annual Health Executives Forum and sincerely hope
that you will be among our distinguished speakers.

up-to-the-minute report about the reform plan for our industry, and feel that by October
we will have a good idea of what the plan will be.
We will be absolutely delighted if you respond "yes" to our invitation, and will nail down
the details later. Agam, Mr. Magaziner, we're hopefiil you can join us in Little Rock this

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The Balancing Works Conference, scheduled for Saturday, October 1,1994, is a timely, solutions-oriented
event that would greatly benefit from your participation. It is an unprecedented effort, focusing on
integrating personal needs with motherhood and career. Our goal is to identify solutions and provide
networks and strategies for enlisting the broad personal and institutional support necessary for women
professionals with children.
With an antidpated attendance of 1,500, Balandng Works is the first event of this magnitude to address the
particular issues confronting mothers working as professionals and to acknowledge their potential to
influence decisions and policies that will affect us all.
Working
Mothers
The majority of all new jobs created during the 1990s will be filled by women, most of them mothers and
an increasing number of them in top level posifions. The Balandng Works Conference features many highrofile women who grapple with the same issues that apply to all mothers working as professionals,
mong confirmed speakers to date, we have:
A'
• Former Secretary of Labor and present Deloitte and Touche consultant Lynn Martin, who will discuss
the importance of bipartisan collaboration on behalf of negoHafing requisite policy changes and will
promote a redefinition of success based on balance;
• Author of the novel Beaches and Governor Pete Wilson's appointee to the Arts Coundl, Iris Dart, who
will deliver the keynote address; and,
• Best-selling author Anne Lamott, providing humorous insights on issues specific to single mothers.
Tlie Stanford University Institute for Research on Women and Gender is providing educational sponsorship,

Your perspective as a children's advocate and your personal power as First Lady combine to render you

conference via interacfi ve satellite, to be conducted at a time most convenient to you on October 1, the day
of the conference.
I know well of the personal grief mothers experience in attempfing to integrate the many facets of their
lives. Being unable to mention one's children at work for fear of being ostracized professionally has grave
consequences for the health of the mother, but the ones who suffer most of all from this fragmentation are
our children. I know this is something you fully appredate and have helped many people to recognize.
It's a perspective that I would like to have represented at the conference, espedally by such an articulate
and powerful advocate as you.

Hillary Rodham Clinton Speaking Engagement Request
I'm writing this quick note to you as an endorsement of the attached request for Mrs. Clinton
to appear (via interactive satellite) at a conference for professional working mothers on Satiu"day,
October 1, 1994.
The event, called Balancing Works, will address the conflicts professional working mothers face
in balancing their family lives and careers. It is the first—and only—event of this magnitude to
acknowledge the potential professional working mothers have to influence decisions and policies
that affect all of corporate America.
Mrs. Clinton's role would be to address these issues from the perspective of being an advocate
for children.
The organization putting this conference together, PRx, has my complete confidence; I've worked
with them in the recent past and find them to be thorough and effective. Presently in its 18th
year of operation, PRx has been highly successful in planning and coordinating major events.
And, as a resident of this area, I know Balancing Works will be a timely and valuable conference
that is bound to be a success.
Patti, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me

I'm writing this quick note to you as an endorsement of the attached request for Mrs. Qinton
to appear (via interactive satellite) at a conference for professional working mothers on Saturday,
October 1, 1994.
The event, called Balandng Works, will address the conflicts professional working mothers face
in balancing their family lives and careers. It is the first—and only—event of this magnitude to
acknowledge the potential professional working mothers have to influence decisions and policies
that affect all of corporate America.
Mrs. Clinton's role would be to address these issues from the perspective of being an advocate
for children.
The organization putting this conference together, PRx, has my complete confidence; I've worked
with them in the recent past andfindthem to be thorough and effective. Presently in its 18th
year of operation, PRx has been highly successful in planning and coordirtating major events.
And, as a resident of this area, I know Balancing Works will be a timely and valuable conference
that is bound to be a success.
Patti, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me.

Our National Convention provides networking and educational
opportunities for AMTA members and other alternative healthcare
practitioners from a l l across the country. As a forum for the
exchange of ideas, therapeutic techniques, and the l a t e s t i n
products and technology, the AMTA Convention always provides a
stimulating environment. As alternative health care plays an
ever-increasing role i n solving our debilitating medical
problems, massage therapists are s t r i v i n g to make t h e i r
profession more v i s i b l e and accepted. As you are well aware, a
study i n the New England Journal of Medicine found that 34% of
Americans turned to alternative health care, with massage therapy
as the t h i r d most u t i l i z e d form.
AMTA's President, E l l i o t Greene participated i n and gave
testimony to members of the Task Force for Health Care Reform i n
March 1993. Mr. Greene shared various s c i e n t i f i c studies that
demonstrate the positive psychological and physiological benefits
of massage therapy. Recently, the Harvard Medical School
included a course familiarizing student physicians with
alternative forms of health care—consequently, medical students
at Harvard are learning about massage therapy.
As a highly regarded member of President Clinton's National
Health Care Reform Task Force, your keynote speech would
obviously provide an incredible source of knowledge to our
members a t the 1994 National Convention. We w i l l , of course, be
glad to donate our regular keynote speaker's fee to your favorite
charity should you so choose.
We look forward to hearing from you, and hope that you're able to
j o i n us for the 1994 National Convention i n Albuquerque.
Sincerely Yours,

Dear Ira:
I am writing on behalf of the senior officers of the medical school and its alumni to ask
you to participate in a medical alumni weekend scheduled for September 30 ihrough
October 2, 1994. A summary of the agenda is attached. You would participate in the
plenary fomm entitled "Healih Care Reform a Year Later" on Saturday, October 1, 1994.
I have agreed to moderate the session and, in addition to you, I would like to invite
Senator Chafee to join us. However, assuming you agree to participate, we can discuss
the advisability of adding Senator Chafee. We can also discuss a change in focus of the
session, if you have better ideas.
1 am still running two offices, my permanent base at Brown and the Office of Generalist
Physician Programs thai I am developing for the Association of American Medical
Colleges. I am available by telephone or FAX at either site; the numbers are enclosed.
It seems that Brown alumni are determined to get you and me on the same platform. The
District chapter tried last year and now it's the medical group. I'm ready if you are.
Warm regards.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

REQUEST FOR MEETING CN ISSUE OF ANTITRUST AND CCMPETITION
A
\
This information i s being provided via FAX at the request of Gary Cohen of Mr.
Magaziner's staff.
I am writing to request that representatives of the President's Task Force on
National Health Care Reform meet with meirbers of the National Hoire Health—S^yieesftj1iiiaqge_to discuss the issue of consuner choice, maflcet accsss, and
preservation of competition i n a reformed health care system.
The National Hate Health Services Alliance i s ccxtprised of representatives of the
Visiting Nurse Associations of America, the Ifctne Health Services and Staffing
Association, the American Federation of Home Health Agencies, and a number of
state home health associations. These organizations represent thousands of hems
health agencies qperating i n every state i n the nation.
Vfe have been requesting a meeting for several nonths and do not believe that we
have had the opportunity to be heard on the crucial issxie of antitrust and
ccnpetition. Representatives of our Alliance have been vrorking with Senate
Republicans and HOuse Democrats developing their own health care reform legislation, and ve certainly wish to work with the President's Task Fbrce on an issue
of such c r i t i c a l inportance to a l l providers of heme care services.
We w i l l be meeting with a larger qrcnjp of consumer and provider organizations i n
Washington on October 26 to coordinate our effort:s on issues related to antitrust
reform and preservaticsa of consumer choice.
I t i s becoming increasingly apparent that the issue -v^ch w i l l dictate the shape
of a refonred health care system i s whether the system w i l l be based on cxxipetition
or on regulation. A health reform plan that permits the destruction of ccirpetition
through the establishment of health plans that monopolize health care delivery
within particular regions w i l l lead inevitably to a f u l l y regulated single payor
system.
Whatever shape health care reform takes i t itust pemit consuners and purchasers
of health care to exercise free choice based x^pon quality, cost, and patient
satisfaction. There can be no meaningful consumer choice, however, without
market 2u:cess by truly oortpeting providers of care. Market access and consuiTier
choice are two sides of the same coin.

Accordingly, we believe that the following provisions must be included in the
President's hecdth care reform legislation:
1. TSiere shovild be a clear statement that no provision in the health reform
plan i s to be construed as permitting monopolization, attertpted moncpolization, conspiracy to monopolize or other restraint of trade whida i s
prohibited tinder the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, or the Federal Trade
Cormission Act.
2. Accountable Health Plans (MPs) mist provide for ccnpetition at the
provider level as well as at the plan level. Accordingly, providers
in health plans must be selected by a ccmpetitJ-ve process vMch utilizes
dsjective criteria which rmost include quality, price, services, and
patient satisfaction.
3. A description of any ccntpetitive selection process and the criteria to
be used must be published and made available to interested providers
tpon request sufficiently prior to the selection determination to permit
cill interested providers a fair opportunity to participate.
4. A state may not limit or prohibit conpetdtion artong providers tb participate in a health plan by any antitrust exenptiOTi or otherwise.
5. No provider or integrated health system will be permitted to acquire or
maintain itarket power (more than 20 percent of the business) in a particular health care product and geographic market unless i t derronstrates
initially, and periodically thereafter, that there i s no alternative which
preserves ccnpetition.
6. Providers ar^d other health care organizations seeking the protection of
"safe zones" under guidelines published by the Department of Justice and
the Federal Trade Ccnmission must oonteitporaneously publish a notice in a
local newspaper of general circulation generally descrihing the nature of
the project. Interested parties iiust have fair opportunity to alert the
DeparLment of Justice and the Federal Trade Ccnmission of local market
conditions viSiich nay be material to their determination.
Consuner choice, market access, and ccnpetition must be preserved i f "iranaged
ccnpetition" i s not to develop into unmanageable raoxwpoly.
Please contact me at (301)588-1454 for additional information. We look forward
to working with you on this issue.

REQUEST FOR MEETING ON ISSUE OF ANTITRUST AND OOMPETITIQN
This information i s being provided via FAX at the request of Gary Cohen of Mr.
Magaziner's staff.
I am writing to request that representatives of the President's Task Force on
National Health Care Reform meet with nertfcers of the National Home Health
Services Alliance to discuss the issue of consumer choice, market access, and
preservation of ccnpetition i n a refonied health care system.
Ihe National Hoie Health Services Alliance i s conprised of representatives of the
Visiting Nurse Associations of AitErica, the Heme Health Services and Staffing
Association, the Anerican Federation of Hcne Health Agencies, and a number of
state hoiE health associations. These organizations represent thousands of home
health agencies c ^ r a t i n g i n every state i n the nation.
Vfe have been reqi^sting a meeting for several months and do not believe that we
have had the opportunity to be heard on the crucial issue of antitrust and
ccnpetition. Representatives of our Alliance have been working with Senate
Republicans and House Democrats develcping their own health care reform legislation, and we certainly wish to work with the President's Task Force on an issue
of such c r i t i c a l inportance to a l l providers of home care services.
Vfe w i l l be neeting with a larger group of consumer and provider organizations in
Washington on October 26 to coordinate our efforts on issues related to antitrust
reform and preservation of consumer choice.
I t i s becCTning increasingly apparent that the issue which w i l l dictate the shape ^
of a reformed health care system i s v*iether the ^stem w i l l be based on ccnpetition
or on regulation. A health reform plan that permits the destruction of ccstpetition
through the establishnent of health plans that monopolize health care delivery
within particular regions w i l l lead inevitably to a f u l l y regulated single payor
system.
Whatever shape health care reform takes i t mist permit consumers and purchasers
of health care to exercise free choice based upon quality, cost, and patient
satisfaction. There can be no meaningful consumer choice, however, without
market access by truly conpeting prcrviders of care. Martet access and consumer
choice are two sides of the same coin.

Accordingly, we believe that the following provisions must be included in the
President's health care reform legislation:
1. There should be a clear statement that i>o provision in the health reform
plan i s to be construed as permitting monc^lization, atterrpted irmcpolization, conspiracy to monopolize or other restraint of trade viiich i s
prt^iibited under the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, or the Federal Trade
Ccnmission Act.
2. Accountable Health Plans (AHPs) must provide for ccnpetJ-ticn at the
provider level as well as at the plan level. Accordingly, providers
in health plans must be selected by a ccnpetitive process v^ch utilizes
c±)jective criteria which rxust include quality, price, services, and
pat:ient satisfaction.
3. A description of any ccnpetitive selection process and the criteria to
be used must be published and made available to int:erested providers
vpon request sufficiently prior to the selection determination to permit
• al 1 interested providers a fair opportunity to participate.
4. A state may not limit or prohibit ccnpetition among providers to participate in a health plan by any antitrust exenption or otherwise.
5. NO provider or integrated health system will be permitted to acquire or
maintain market power (more than 20 percent of the business) in a particular health care product and geographic irarket unless i t demonstrates
initially, and periodically thereafter, that there i s no alternative vAiich
preserves cottpetition.
6. Providers and other health care organizations seeking the protection of
"safe zones" -under guidelines publishedfcythe Department of Justice and
the Federal Trade Coranission must oonteitporaneously publish a notice in a
local new^japer of general circulation generally describing the nature of
the project. Interested parties must have fair opportunity to alert the
Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Ccnmission of local itorket
conditions vAiich may be material to their determination.
Consumer choice, market access, and conpetition must be preserved i f "managed
ccnpetition" i s not to develop into unmanageable monopoly.
Please contact me at (301)588-1454 for additional information. Wte look forward
to working with you on this issue.

Dear Ms. Rodham Clinton:
The H arvard Community Health Plan extends an invitation for you to be our keynote
speaker during our upcoming conference on Pediatric Managed Care - A Strategy for
the-Future, which is being held in Boston on October 13-15, 1994. We sincerely hope
that you have not been so deluged by requests that you will seriously consider addressing
an audience of pediatricians, child mental health clinicians, pediatric nurse practitioners,
and family practitioners wlio will be facing the challenges of health care reform as it
relates to the care of children. Ira Magaziner may have already spoken to you about this
conference, and this letter is a follow-up to his kind offer to help facilitate our request.
I would also like to tell you more about Harvard Community Health Plan and the
conference.
Harvard Community Health Plan currently cares for 540,000 members in over fifty
locations and employs more than 2,000 physicians. HCHP is, as you may know, the
largest managed care organization in New England, and a pioneer in developing
programs that emphasize quality of care and cost effectiveness. Harvard Community
Health Plan, in its commitment to the combination of service, education, and research
has successfully sponsored national CME conferences in mental health and nursing. We
opened our doors to health care delivery on 1 October, 1969, with 80 members and have
been a major part of the exciting growth of managed care over the last two decades.
The purpose of the conference is to expose clinicians to those features of practice which
distinguish managed care from traditional fee-for-service health care delivery. This
includes themes such as meeting the needs of populations as well as individuals; cosl
effectiveness; case management; team approach to care; balancing cost and quality;
prevention; and the importance of systems which support health care delivery.
We have already developed a faculty for the 1994 pediatric conference which includes
Dr. Don Berwick, CEO of the Institute for Health Care Improvement; Dr. Tom Inui,
Professor and Chairman of the HCHP/Harvard Medical School Department of
Ambulatory Care and Prevention; Mr. Glenn Hackbarth, President of the Health Centers
Division and former Deputy Administrator of the Health Care Financing Agency, Health
and Human Si-vices, in Washington; and Dr. Jennifer Leaning, Health Centers Division
Medical Director and a recipient of the Nobel Prize for her work with Physicians for
Social Responsibility.

We are excited about this new type of program which emphasizes a new type of
preparation for a new type of clinician to face the challenges of the future in health care
delivery. We sincerely hope that you will be able to find time in your schedule to be a
part of this experience. In order to help in our planning, we would very much appreciate
a response as soon as it is conveniently possible.
With v ^ y best wishes.

will be attended by a number of health care professionals and will serve as scientific
as well as social symposium on the position of bone marrow transplant in modem
breast cancer therapy. This forum will also be attended by attorneys, insurance
company representatives, and allied health professionals. We feel that participation
by federal planners is essential in order to present a complete picture regarding this
issue in our society. At the present time, we intend to provide meals and hotel
accommodations. We look forward to your response.

Overview:
The global markets for biomaterials and medical devices are poised for
unprecedented growth, with sales estimated to grow 15 to 17% annually in the
decade ahead from the current level of $97 billion. With increased aging
populations worldwide and continuing advances in biomaterials applications,
possible world demand by 2000 for just orthopedic applications stands at 1.7
million hip and knee implants alone. The biomaterials market in the cardiovascular
and dental sectors currentiy exhibit 20% annual growth rate, 120,000 heart valve
and 1.0 million dental implants were implanted in 1993. Continuing searches are
ongoing for new materials which have bettertissueresponse and physical properties
and which will replace existing materials. The driving forces behind this explosive
growth are the increased incidence of osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease
coupled with aging global populations and increased life spans.
bjective:
The primary purpose of this conference is to provide an international business
forum to discuss the future of biomaterials and medical devices in the era of cost
containment and health care reform. It will bring together biomaterials and medical
device manufacturers, users, raw material suppliers, health care providers,
regulators, surgeons, and other stakeholders. The conference attendees will hear
international business, financial, technical, and regulatory experts present their
views on critical issues and their strategies for survival in this era of reform and cost
containment. This timely information along with open forum discussion of the
critical issues will provide valuable inputs to corporate decision makers. The
specific objectives of the conference are:
• To provide market forecasts and a discussion of trends in the development of
new biomaterials and medical devices.
• To evaluate the current status and future of the medical device industry in view
of new cost and regulatory pressures in the Clinton era.

Cobalt Development Institute (London)
About 65% of all world cobalt
production (26,000 tonnes per
year) originatesfromZaire
(12,000 tonnes) and Zambia
(5,000 tonnes). Political unrest,
superimposed on already
difficult operating conditions
in the state mining companies
of these countries, has led to a
loss of confidence among
users — and the second
"Cobalt Crisis" in less than 15
years. Producer prices for
cobalt Jumped from $11 a
pound last year to $25 in
January 1992. Traders with
available metal to sell were
already quoting $35 in
December 1991 as buyers
struggling with allocations
have scrambled to find
alternative supplies.

MEDICAL, AND DENTAL IMPLANTS:
Market Analysis and Forecasts;

Investment and Strategic Partnering Opportunities (1989-1999)
A CONFIDENTIAL MULTICLIENTSTUDY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The global market for ail biomaterials was estimated to be in excess of $5.0 billion in 1988 and has been
growing at between 12 and 14 percent per annum. The global orthopedic, other medical and dental implant
segments of this market have been estimated to be between $2.6 and $2.8 billion and growing at between 14 and
16 percent per annum. The fastest growing classes of inorganic biomatehals used for implants are the ceramics,
glasses, porous surface coatings, metal and ceramic matrix composites, and hybrids. Still enjoying a large share of
market are cast 316L and Co-Cr-Mo alloys as well as increasing amounts of titanium alloys. l\/larket growth could be
enhanced even further by a marriage of bioceramics with traditional metals or possibly aluminides, and by the
increased use of coatings, hybrids or composites.
Over the last decade, the medical and dental professions have become increasingly more aware that
successful inorganic biomaterials development depends upon an equitable blending of materials and uses.
Some examples of commercial successes are production of alumina for ear bone replacements, ceramic hip
implants, porous coated Ti-6AI-4V, and a type of artificial bone based on apatite hydroxide. Materials scientists
have demonstrated that with these advanced materials they are able to meet the stringent performance
requirements of the medical and dental professions. Increasing performance requirements are expected from the
medical and dental communities placing continued pressure on the materials scientists to advance current
technologies.
For a company to participate successfully in the inorganic biomaterials market, certain basic technical,
economic and market information is required. As a means to provide such information, Gorham Advanced
Materials Institute (GAMI) will launch a landmark seven month multiclient techno-economic and market study on
September 25, 1989. The objectives of the program include; assessments of present and emerging inorganic
biomaterials, requirements and associated manufacturing technology, identification of key business and
investment opportunities, analysis of how products are successfully developed and commercialized, and analysis
and forecasts of orthopedic, other medical and dental implant markets by materials type to 1999.
GAMI's experienced professional team will obtain the necessary data via interviews with persons in all
pertinent fields and specialties, in-depth questionnaire surveys, and a worldwide patent and literature review.
In addition to an explicit, comprehensive, final report, sponsors will receive a day of private consultation to
discuss study results.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
The White House
Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The California Society of Hospital Pharmacists (CSHP), a non-profit organization
representing over 3,600 California pharmacy professionals, respectfully invites
you to be the keynote speaker during the Opening Session of our Annual
Meeting, "Seminar '94", October 13-16,1994 at the San Diego Convention Center
and San Diego Hyatt Regency. We expect over 2500 health care professionals to
attend the meeting. The Opening Session will be conducted on Friday, October
14, from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. at the San Diego Convention Center.
CSHP, founded in 1962 is a non-profit, professional organization v^hose
members share in the belief that pharmacy is a clinical profession and that the
main purpose of the profession is to serve patients through the promotion of
rational drug therapy.
In the past year, our members have witnessed your tremendous effort to educate
and persuade citizens individually and collectively to support national health
care reform and see themselves as profoundly impacted by health care reform;
o
as private citizens concerned with how they and their families will be
affected personally;
o
as human beings with deep concern for other human beings who live
at risk daily for lack of access to health care service; and
o
as health care professionals charged to implement the changes
mandated by the formation of a national health care system, who also
believe at the same time that health care reform can be synonymous
with the highest standard of patient care.

Page Two
Realizing that time constraints greatly determine your choice of speaking
engagements, we offer you the following reasons that your presence at Seminar
'94 in San Diego will represent a productive use of your time:
1)
CSHP's 3600 members practice in a variety organized health care
settings, including, but not limited to, hospitals, health maintenance
organizations and home health care settings and collectively represent
a significant faction of health care professionals in California.
2)
CSHP members share in your conviction that health care reform is a
paramount domestic issue for Americans.
3)
Like yourself, our members are engaged in a legislative battle. This
year CSHP is sponsoring a bill, AB 3173 (Snyder) which will authorize
pharmacists in California in home care and clinic settings to provide
the same level of care that has been provided to patients in the hospital
inpatient setting for the past 12 years. Ttiis is consistent with what you
and President Clinton have proposed in your health reform proposal,
which would authorize other qualified health professionals to serve as
"physician extenders" and help keep the cost of health care dovm
while keeping the quality high.
Mrs. Clinton, we believe that what we are striving to achieve in California has
much in common with what you are attempting to accomplish at the national
level. For that reason, we ask that you seriously corisider this invitation to
address over 2500 health care professionals at our Annual Meeting on October
14,1994. We look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely,
Teresa Ann Miller, Pharm.D.

Attn: Patti Solis
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On behalf of the South Asian Women's Conference at the University of California, Los Angeles I would
like to invite you to be a member of our Honorary Advisory Board. This ground-breaking conference
will focus on the health and development of South Asian immigrant women in the United States.
The conference will take place in Los Angeles on October 22 and 23. The Asian American Studies
Center, die Department of History, the Center for the Study of Women, and the Indian Student Union at
UCLA arc co-sponsors of the conference. We have received 75 paper submissions, and have accepted
46 for presentation at the Conference. Advertising for the conference will appear in South Asian and
mainstream publications, South Asian educational centers, and throughout the UC system with
particular emphasis on the Los Angeles campus.
Through paper presentations, discussions and seminars, we hope to increase awareness in the South
Asian community itself and the larger community, of the diverse issues facing women of South Asian
heritage in the United Stales. These issues include: cultural identity, interpersonal relationships,
violence against women, gender socialization, and family dynamics.
The topic is particularly germane to the Westside as the ethnic make-up of this part of Los Angeles
continues to change. The conference has akeady generated substantial interest within Southern
California. In fact, I am pleased to report that our Honorary Advisory Board already includes Senator
Barbara Boxer and State Senator Tom Hayden.
We would be honored if you would join the conference in the capacity of an Honorary Board Member.
I realize you are very busy and while your input in the conference would be deeply appreciated, I
would be pleased if you would be willing to lend your name to our efforts. Please do not hesitate to call
me at (310) 824-7475 with any questions or comments regarding the conference.
Sincerely,
Meena Patel

COl^CEPT PAPER
As the 103rd Congress comes to 2 dramatic clcse, how wil! tlie debate concerning our national health care
system be resolved? Will Congress, i>^i legislation diis year or will tlie public be forced to wait for
further action? "Health Care Reform in Ruial America: National Solutions, South Dakota Responses ,
a day long: public forum, will address these questions and Others in a series of presentations and public
discussion sessions.
This program will provide an asss^ssment of il.e progress made in the 103rd Congress with regards to oiir
nation's healdi care crisis and the obsta:le> that must be overcome before legislation is passed. The
overall concept of the forum is to giv e the i)(5opie of South Dakota a forum in which to analyze and
discuss the work to date on national lieald" OEire reform and the repurcussions it may have locally; in
addition we will address specific area.:; in wii:h the decision-makers will need to focus their attention as
we look to the future.
The morning session wUl be !;plit into ihree parts: a point/counterpoint debate of the progress
accomplished to date in Congress; a panel discussion comprised of local and regional panelists which
will analyze die progress made i i Congress £ind it's implications on South Dakotans; and a s^ummary ot
the areas/in which legislators and tiieir constituents will need to direct their energies m the future.
Question and discussion times fellow each oi the sessions. These times are considered vital parts of the
program because they provide die pariicipa us with one on one access to the experts as they seek to give
their input on the recent develofmentr-.
Tlie program will close in the afternoon wiUi a keynote address followed by a question and discussion
period. The nationally recognized speake, will address the overall debate and tie together the various
viewpoints expressed in the morning se;;sions,
Our goal is to have the participsints leave M'ith the following:
1234.
a better understanding of tlie \ inble plans currendy under consideration in Congress
ail understanding ot how piog'es;; already made in Congress will affect South Dakotans
knowledge of what area;-, of the debate still need attention from Congress
an enhanced understanding cf lie complex issues surrounding the struggle for national health
care legislation

Dear First Lady Clinton:
My name is Eddie Richardson, Jr., and T am a second year medical student ai
Morehouse School of Medicine. I have had this great vi.sion several times over the past year.
The fulfillment of my vision would be to have you visit Morehouse School of Medicine and
deliver your message about the importance of National Health Care Reform to a group of
future primary care physicians and their undergraduate mcntees at a Family Practice Interest
Group meeting. I know that you, Mrs. Clinton, arc best qualified to enlighten us as future
primary care physicians on how we can help our Nation realize its goal of universal health
care.
I humbly submit this invitation for you to speak at one of our meetings. The meeting
could be held at Morehouse School of Medicine any time during the month of October.
I have been a strong advocate of the great need to reform our Nation's health care
system, and I am particularly encouraged by your recognition of the importance of primary
care. As an active member in the Family Practice Interest Group (FPIG), I have promoted
these very ideas. Now, as Co-President of FPIG, I am committed to giving this issue the
greatest exposure possible. You are an integral player in accomplishing this task.
Mrs. Clinton, I would like to thank you in advance for considering my invitation. I
also hope and pray that wc can stand together in a united front to promote our common interest
in reforming our Nation's health care sy.stem, providing access to all, particularly poor and
minority citizens, and promoting the need to train and support primary care practitioners.

specific focus is on workers' compensation as it is impacted by both state and federal reform
proposals

With the passage of the 1993 Health Services Act, Washington State is positioned to be a
leader in addressing the issue.
I
Health care professionals, policy-nriakers, business leaders, educators and consumers must
share the responsibility of ensuring that quality is the hallmark of any health care refonn
plan.
I would like to invite you to participate as a keynote speaker for the conference "Putting
Quality First: A Priority for the Changing Health Care Environment" on October 14,
1994 at the SeaTac Red Lion. This day long conference will take a critical look at health
care in Washington state; examining what's working, and what needs help. As a
recognized leader in the health care field, we would be honored to have your presence at
this important event. We believe your expertise and perspective would greatly contribute
to the success of our event.
Throughout the day you will have a chance to meet with other concerned professionals
who believe that better health care is possible and can be delivered more systematically
and cost-effectively in Washington, Audience members will include health care
professionals, insurance industry representatives, hospital and institution representatives,
local govemment officials, other interest groups, and citizens.

morning, I will host a breakfast for a small group of Chicago executives. With the

with us to address the group.
In addition, we will be celebrating EHS Health Care's receipt of the Commitment to
Quality Award sponsored by The Healthcare Forum of San Francisco. EHS Health
Care is the seventh winner since the awards began in 1988. The award is the health
care equivalent to the Malcolm Baldridge Award.
The Commitment to Quality Award honors EHS Health Care for its CQI leadership at
the board and management levels, development of a three year CQI plan, efforts to
communicate the CQI culture throughout the system, a strong emphasis on clinical CQI,
benchmarking with diverse organizations, and a human resources effort that supports
CQI through performance appraisals and training.
In a few days I will call on you to discuss the possibility of your attending the
breakfast, and touring the CQI Fair.

importance of your National Health Care Plan for the children of our country,

October. We could arrange either program to accommodate your schedule.
Recognizing your busy schedule, we have tried to give you several
options in the hope that you will be able to accept one of them. We look
forward to hearing fiom your appointment secretary so that we can arrange a
time for your attendance. The PTAs of your home state are anxious to

Re: Health Care Symposium
Dear Ms. Feder:
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a HeaWi Care attorney serving institutional
providers and individual health care professionals from the Rochester, New York office of
Harter, Secrest & Emery. Tn addition to my law degree., I hold a Masters Degree in
Hospital and Health Services Administration from Corr.ell University's Graduate School of
Business and Public Administration, Sloan Program of Hospitalj\^]iimstiiition. It is with
this dual affiliation and background that I write to 'n\\'A;$.^^^;ir^^j:i^ Keynoi^ speaker at the
Health Care Symposium I am coordinating and plani1ioiHt5f'^, 1994.
The Health Care Symposium is being jointly sponsored by die Cornell University
Graduate School of Management. KPMO Peat Marwicl:;, Ernst & Young, and Harter, Secrest
& Emery. These organizations have extensive experience in the education of and service to
the health care industiy. The audience for our Symposium will be administrators, chief
financial officers, Board leaders, policy and program planners, and legal counsel for
hospitals, nursing homes and other institutional providers, as well as individual health care
professionals. Each of the sponsoring businesses have healdi care clients widely dispersed
throughout Central and Western New York which is ths Symposium's geographic target area.
In addition, Cornell University aluimii are working in ^/arious capacities in the healdi care
industry throughout the country. All of these contacts combine to ma.ke a ready audience.
We anticipate that 1,50 or more healdi care industry representatives will be in attendance for
the Symposium.
As planned, the Symposium will focus on federal and state issues, initiatives and

Dear Mr. Clinton:
We cordially invite you to join in the celebration of the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the
Family Planning Program, Department of Obstetrics. C^ecology & Reproductive Sciences
at Temple University School of Medicine.
We feel the time is appropriate to fecoeni2e th© importajat role that the Family Planning
Programs play across the country. They reduce the incidence of unplanned teenage
pregnancy, and the need for welfare among teenagers and their babies. In addition,
Pamily Planning Progims identify early indicators for cervical and breast cancer- I'hus
they reduce the cost of attended care and need for eictensive and expen&iye hospital stays.
The Family PlAmung Programs provide medical care, birth control and treatment for
sexually tramnutted diseases for just over $100 per year, compared to the $8,500 to care
for a pregnant teenager and her unborn child under Entitlements in Pegnsylvajaia^for one
year.
Therefore, in celebration of the continuing contiibuijuns of the Family Planning Program of
Temple University Hospital, we are asking-^lSt Prevention be recognized at the highest level
in our countty. We ask that you join U!( in mid-Octobet^s we celebrate continuing health
care for women of North Philadelphia ^^hoJEavTsthiggled "with very few monetary assets
and many hardships in order lo obtain good basic preventive health care. Therefore, as the
primaiy care provider for these women, we arc requesting that you join us in their
recognition.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+4"><strong>Segment Four</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of records describing the efforts of the Clinton Administration to pass the Health Security Act, which would have reformed the health care system of the United States. This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Joe:
It was good to see you today and I appreciate your offer to hold a briefing^fSr the Executive
Committee of the National Assodation of Government Deferred Compensation Administrators
(NAGDCA). NA'GDCA is comprised of government entities from across the nation representing
state and municipal deferred compensation plans.
I suggest that the briefing begin at 10:30 A.M. and that, if possible, each presentation be
approximately 30 minutes. This would allow some time for discussion and Q&A between the
JQAGDCA committee members and the Administration's representative on each of the respective
issues. That would tentatively wrap up the meetings at approximately 12:00 or 1230 P.M.
I have designed the following agenda which would be of interest to the group:
1. A presentation by a tax policy representati^wiid^l^te House credential, to discuss
the Administration's position on tax policies_>vhirh may affect public employees' fringe benefits
and rprirpmpnt plarm with particular emphasis on H.R. 3419, The Technical Corrections and Tax
Simplification bill. NAGDCA members support passage of the bill since it includes provisions
amending Sections 415 and 457 of the IRC which affect public employeeretirementplans. The
amendments to Section 415 and 457 IRC are found in Sections 238 and 243 of H.R. 3419. The
members would also be interested in hearing the Administration's viewpoint regarding the
potential for any tax legislation in this area before the end of this Congress and other related
measures^
2. A presentation on the President's Health Security Act
3. A discussion of the President's legislative agenda for the balance of this Congress.
1
Joe, I look forward to hearing from you as soon as you have confirmed the Administration's three"
participants. I hope that you will be available to start or participate in the meeting. My telephone
number at die International Association of Fire Fighters is 202 737-8484. It will also be helpful to
me if you can fax me a bio for each speaker at 202 638-5294.
I will provide you with Social Security numbers and any other pertinent information required in
order for the committee members to enter the White House.
Thanks again for your help.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
The Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce, whose 27-member Health Care
Task Force met with representatives of your own Health Care Reform Task
Force in April, has asked that Savannah, Ga. be one of the sites visited by
Clinton Administration officials promoting its National Health Care Reform
package.
Since Savannah has been discussed as a possible "Sentinel City," I firmly
believe that a campaign stop there would be a strategic move in gaining
support throughout Georgia.
Elizabeth Stewart, Vice President of the Chamber, would be delighted to work
with my Savannah office in promoting a successful forum. The Chamber has
produced a comprehensive study of the health care needs of Chatham County,
which also includes a nine-year study of its residents' state of health and
causes of death.
Fiease give this request your immediate consideration.
Sincerely,
Cynfhia/McKinney

Mr. Ira C. Magaziner
Senior Policy Advisor
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D C. 20500
Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The Greater Houston Hospital Council and Ernst & Young plan to present a symposium
in Houston on President Clinton's Health Care Reform Plan. At the risk of sounding
presumptuous, the two organizations believe using the forum of a symposium would give
the Clinton Administration the best opportunity in any major city to present the basic
concepts of their plan to the business community.
We would like to invite you to be our keynote speaker at this symposium. The focus will
be the health care reform plan as it relates to "employers." The audience will include
executives from all major corporations in this area, including chemical, oil, hospital,
research, space, and other industries.
We plan to ask United States Representatives Mike Andrews and Jack Fields to join us as
speakers. We will also invite representatives from the American Medical Association, the
American Hospital Association, CEO's from a major health provider, and a major
employer, such as Exxon, Shell, or others.
We believe this would be an opportune time for you to come to Houston to discuss the
plan. We are the fourth largest city in the United States. We have the most world
renowned collection of hospitals, medical schools and research facilities in the nation at
the Texas Medical Center. The Medical Center ranks as the world's largest medical
complex with approximately forty member institutions. It includes fourteen hospitals with
6,676 licensed beds, two medical schools and four nursing schools. There are
approximately 52,911 people working at the Medical Center.
Houston is the center of the worldwide energy industry. Twenty-nine of the nation's
largest publicly traded United States energy companies have their headquarters in
�Houston, and more than 5,000 energy-related firms operate in the region. The Johnson
Space Center is the focal point for NASA's manned space flight operations.
So you can see that Houston and the surrounding cities in Texas have many reasons to
hear directly from Washington about President Clinton's Health Care Reform Plan.
We realize that you have a full schedule and we are certainly flexible as far as the date and
times of the symposium. We were looking at some time in January 1994. The symposium
would be from 1.00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. We would invite 500-1000 Texas business
executives. The location would be in a Houston hotel or convention center. We would
invite the media and have discussed the possibility of having a press conference prior to or
as a part of the symposium. We would certainly want your input on this.
We believe that your participation as the symposium keynote speaker would ensure that
Texas employers, and Houstonians in particular, have an opportunity to hear directly from
Washington about the Clinton Health Care Reform Plan, so that they might better
understand its many challenges and its political and social impact.
We would appreciate the opportunity to further discuss this invitation with you at your
earliest convenience. Please call me at (713) 526-9031 or Bruce Linklater at (713) 750-1500
to discuss the symposium and your participation.

Southern New Enotand Chapter. ISCEBS-Health Care Reform Speaker
Ms. Wellford:
tn a recent telephone conversation with Ms. Marjorie Tarmey, she suggested I direct
this request to you.
The Southern New England Chapter of the International Society of Certified Employee
Benefit Specialists (ISCEBS) requests that the White House provide a speaker on the
subject of President's Clinton's Health Care Reform proposal. I'm enclosing a letter
which I wrote to Mr. Ira Magaziner a year ago which describes our chapter and the
educational meetings we present.
We think a presentation to our chapter might provide an excellent forum for
"stumping" for support for the proposal. Possibilities might include Hillary Rodham
Clinton in New haven, a speaker in Hartford, insurance capital of the world, or
"Middletown", CT. Otherwise, our normal meetings are scheduled in Norwalk, CT (in
lower Fairfield county). Other possibilities would include Stamford or Trumbull.
I'll give you a call to discuss.
Regards,
Brian W. Booher
Education Committee Chairperson on behalf of
the Board of Directors of the Southern New England Chapter, ISCEBS

Re:
Invitation to Address the Southern New England Chapter of the International
Sodety of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists (ISCEBS) on Health Care
Reform
Dear Mr. Magaziner:
The Southern New England Chapter of the ISCEBS invites youtospeak to our Chapter
on the Administration's Health Care Refonn initiative. Given the "first 100 days"
timetable concerning a proposal forreform,early May would be the ideal scheduling.
Given the seismic impact the President's Task Force'srecommendationswill have, you
would be providing an enormous service to benefit professionals and the public by
addressing our group. Given the nature of our organization, I think that we offer an
excellent forum - the benefit capital of the country - to discuss a watershed health care
reform proposal.
Proposal
Typically our meetings take the form of breakfast meetings in Norwalk and dinner
meetings in Hartford. In this instance, we'd propose a single site, probably in Trumbull
(off the Merritt Parkway north of Bridgeport) on the morning of Monday, May 10.
Given Hillary Rodham Clinton's roots at Yale, New Haven would be an excellent
alternative venue.
The Southern New England Chapter
I know you're familiar with the ISCEBS, since you were the scheduled keynote speaker
for the November 1992 annual Symposium until the President called you away from
Anaheim to Little Rock. Let me tell you something about our Chapter, and why I think

our meeting would be an excellent forum for you to address.
Ours is a large, dynamic chapter of benefit practitioneis. As you may know, the CEBS
designation requires completion of atencourse employee benefit curriculum designed by
the Wharton School in conjunction with the International Foundation.
Monthly Educational Meeting Program
Our meetings are open to CEBS chapter members and non-members alike. We mail each
meeting announcement twice to approximately 2,800 people in Connecticut, Western
MA, and Westchester on our mailing list. In this instance, we would mail to Rhode
Island as well. We publicize the meeting to area news media and benefit publications
for inclusion in their business calendars of upcoming events. With sufficient lead time,
our Chapter's energetic publicity committee would also disseminate announcements to
national newspapers and news organizations for press coverage. As part of an award we
receivedfromthe ISCEBS for winning the 1992 "Chapter Challenge", the Society's staff
in Brookfield, WI will complement our efforts to publicize this meeting.
To brief you and your staff further on our organization and the quality of our
presentations, our speakers in 1992 included:
•
Helen Darling and Patricia Nazemetz of Xerox; Pat spoke on the topic,
"Managed Competition at Xerox" (see sample flier attached).
•
Congresswoman Barbara Kennelly spoke on the subject of her Health Care
Access and Affordability Today Act.
•
Ronald Allen, Chief Division Reporting Compliance of the Department of
Labor, spoke on ERISA's annualreportingrequirements.
•
Howard Weizmann of the APPWP presented our annual "Washington
Update" (presented in 1991 by Harry Conaway of Mercer).
•
Jack Helitzer, Vice President of Metropolitan Life.
•
Todd Meek, Vice President and Senior Actuary of Towers Penin.
Speakers in prior years included a FASB representative on FAS 106 and Dallas Salisbury
of EBRI. Our February meeting featuring Paul Frankel, M.D. of Coopers & Lybrand
drew nearly 100 on the subject of Outcomes Measurement in Norwalk. Last June, the
combined Stamford and Hartford DOL presentations drew nearly 200. We think this
presentation would dwarf those turnouts.
Our late April meeting is particularly appropriate in terms of helping to quantify the
"problem" - Tom Billet of Foster Higgins will be speaking on the annual Foster Higgins
Health Care Survey results. In combination with our established string of well run,

dunces are that you've been hearing about The HealthLink Program at XeroxfromFortune:
Merely by spending thdr health care dollars creatively, companies can nudge the system into the future
as Xerox is doing. In addition to traditional insurance plans, the company tries to offer at least two good
HMOs at every major employment site, and has engaged six HMO companies to do "hands-on, close-up
evaluation' of what's available.
To put meaning in comparison shopping, Xerox gears its contributions to a "benchmark" HMO whose price
is the lowest consistent with quality... The pricing policy is based on a similar one at Stanford University,
where [Alain] Enthoven runs the health program. Competition goes on at two levels-the employer
shopping for HMOs and the employee choosingfromthe narrowed menu.
Or perhaps you've read about tbe program recently in Business & Health:
Cost is not the only concern of Xerox. The company has long been committed to continuous quality
hnprovemeot, which includes reducing the number of vendors used and working with theremainderto
develop standards of quality and long-term relationships, says [Patricia] Nazemetz... "We want to identity
those systems that are effldent and effective and-without sacrificing quality in any way-encourage our
people throughfinancialincentives to participate in those plans."
The Southern New England Chapter is pleased to offer a chance to hear about HealthUnk directly
from the program's architect, Patricia M. Nazemetz, director of benefits at Xerox.

Dear Carl:
On behalf of the Steering Commince for the Bill CUnton campaign in Seattle, I want to
thank you for making the candidate's visit to Seattle Central Community College one of the
most successful events thus far of the entire campaign. Stephanie Solien, National Political
Director, advised me that the way the event was designed and handled meant a great deal to
the Governor.
As you know, Clinton referred back to your students' comments at the Edgewater Inn later
that day. And, knowing Bill as I do, I know that the way your students addressed their
questions and listened to his responses will long be appreciated and remembered. Your
ability to think though how best to organize and plan the many people and parts of
Clinton's forum with your students impressed everyone. The advance peoplefromLittle
Rock commented that Seattle was an unexpectedly easy job for them ~ We had anticipated
it all so weD.
The real stars of February 28 were your students. I understand now why you are so proud
of them I am as well. The gracious assistance we receivedfromRosetta Hunter, Ron
Hamberg, Ron Moore, Glen and the rest of the Seattle Central team all made this event a
pleasure to advance. It will remain for me as one of the highlights of my time in
Washington state. I know we will be seeing one another again.
Best regards.
Sincerely,
Susan Adler

Dear President Clinton:
During your upcoming visit to the Seattle area, we would like to invite you to see first-hand
a unique care~arid treatment facility which has successfully saved Washington state
taxpayers an estimated $4.85 million in health care costs.

South
We established the Pediatric Interim Care Center (PICC) in 1990 to help meet a critical need
for the care and treatment of drug-exposed newborns. As information on the effective care
of these often-premature babies was virtually non-existent at that time, we called on our
own experience as foster parents, and in consultation with physicians and state social
service agencies, set out to provide a facility that would help treat the nearly 10,000 drugaffected babies bom each year in Washington state.
Second
Avenue
Kent
206.852.5253

As PICC approaches its three-year anniversary, we have successfully provided transitional
care and treatment for 219 newborns at our 15-bed center in Kent, Washington just south
of Seattle. The average stay for each child is 38 days, during which time each is weaned
from the narcotics while at the same time follow-up care and treatment skills are taught to
the babies' eventual caregiver - whether they're the birth parent, a relative (the majority of
our placements), or a foster family.
The success of PICC - which to our knowledge is the only such center of its kind in the
U.S. — is a credit to the community we serve. All support items such as diapers and
formula are donated. Other than medical personnel, paid staff is minimal, and the volunteer
effort is maximized. Nearly everything we have accomplished is a result of volunteers -from office administration to fundraising -- and this level of support has allowed PICC to
achieve what was once perceived as impossible: to provide interim care and treatment
without burdening the social service system.
PICC is a blueprint for the success our health care system can achieve when the community
rallies behind it. \^e would welcome the opportunityjo jntroduce you to some very special
children who have benefitted from our approach during your visit to the Northwest next
month.
Thank you. We look forward to your response.

DIFFERENCE
By Jean

Saving Drug-Affected Infants
Darkness. It was just about all Sarah Martin* could tolerate—darkness and the quiet hum of the nursery. And still
she shook. Her tiny body—all 3 pounds of her—jittered
violently. Specially trained nurses tried to contain the
baby's tremors by keeping her tightly swaddled.
Just seeing a face, having a bottle gently nudged between her lips or a lamp turned on nearby—the click of
the switch, the sudden glare of light—would irritate her
and set her crying, says Barbara Richards, administrator
and cofounder, with Barbara Drennen, of the Pediatric
Interim Care Center in Kent, Washington.
"She had such a weak little cry," adds Drennen, director of the center. "She could only take
an ounce of formula at a time. Her
knees were drawn up. She whimpered
all the time, like she was in pain."
Sarah was bom, three months premature and weighing a pound and a half,
on the floor of a Seattle-area motel early
one morning in January 1991. According to hospital reports, there were two
men in the room with Sarah's mother,
and one of them called 911. An ambulance rushed the baby to the University
of Washington Medical Center. Although her grandmother and aunt came
for brief visits, Drennen recalls, Sarah's mother did not, and has not been heard from again.
Traces of cocaine were found in Sarah's urine, which
meant her mother had used the drug less than 72 hours
before giving birth. Whether she used other drugs during
her pregnancy is not known, but soon Sarah was suffering
some of the effects of chemical withdrawal, which can
include tremors, seizures, hyperirritability, rapid breathing, gastrointestinal dysfunction and failure to thrive.
After six weeks she had gained only a pound and a half.
But she was past the crisis point and her condition had
stabilized, so she was transferred to the Pediatric Interim
Care Center. Explains Drennen, "We're one step down
from the hospital and one step up from being at home."
Since November 1990 this center, perhaps the first of
its kind in the country, has nursed 111 newborn infants in
its 15-bed facility. While a few have severe medical problems, the majority exhibit symptoms of withdrawal from
chemical dependency—usually from more than one drug.
A mother might, for instance, have smoked crack, injected heroin and drunk alcohol throughout her pregnancy.

Experts still debate the long-term physical and cognitive consequences for these drug-affected babies. To insure quality extended care, the Pediatric Interim Care
Center provides special training and support services for
the parents, relatives or foster parents of babies like Sarah.
"You really had to help this baby to get control of her
body," Richards says about Sarah. "We worked really,
really hard with her," Drennen adds. "The nurses rallied
around and worked day and night getting her to eat."
At 6 months she still weighed only 6 pounds. Though
the babies typically stay at the center only about 43 days,
Sarah did not leave until she was 7 months old. No family
member came forward to assume custody, so she was
adopted by one of the nurses and her husband. Her new
family, which includes two brothers, has since moved
from the area. "The last time we saw Sarah she was 18
months old, walking and babbling away," says Richards,
"but she was slow to do all those things, very delayed."
Drennen and Richards did not start out as experts in
pediatric drug addiction. They were, however, experts in
the care of children. With 62 years of foster parenting—
and about 700 foster children—between them, both women had become accustomed to having up to (Continued)

n frustration, Drennen sent the
proposal to State Representative
June Leonard. Luckily, Leonard
had been searching for just such a project because of the sheer volume of the
crisis. About 7,000 infants bom in
Washington State each year—one every hour—may be affected by alcohol
or drugs. An estimated 375,000 drugexposed infants may be bom each year
in the United States, according to the
National Institute on Drug Abuse.
With Leonard's support, the state
legislature designated $600,000 for a
one-year pilot program, but Drennen
and Richards learned that other groups
were being allowed to bid on the project too. "We weren't even in the running," Drennen says, "though it was
our concept and we designed it."
Once again they turned to Leonard
and another legislator, Margarita Prentice, for help. "They were our lifesavers," Drennen says.
Ultimately, Drennen and Richards

and just a month to get the center up
and running. They were able to acquire a former medical clinic, but it
needed new doors and windows, a
sprinkler system, a laundry . . . . "We
were herefrom6 A.M. until 2 the next
morning getting things ready," Drennen says.
Their husbands, Ken Drennen and
Gary Richards, pitched in. Ken did
much of the carpentry and Gary handled the piles of paperwork.
When a local newspaper wrote a story about the push to get the center into
operation, "volunteers just came from
everywhere," Richards remembers.
Individuals, families and organizations
showed up on their doorstep—ready to
donate money, materials, supplies,
equipment and their time.
The Boeing Company offered tlie
services of one of its project managers
to coordinate everybody's efforts.
An anonymous donor provided $10,000
to install a sprinkler system. Local
firefighters volunteered to wallpaper
the rooms.
Today, CEOs, factory workers,
even nurses from local hospitals drop
by regularly to visit and hold the infants. "When you see a baby come in
so stressed out on drugs, and then
when you can see that baby leave with
a smile on its face and cooing, it's
worth it," says Claudia Wolfe, who
cuddles babies each day after work.
Community support remains strong.
" I think every family is touched by the
drug problem," Richards says. "Everywhere we go, person after person will
come up to us and say, 'I'm really glad
to know about this, because my nephew is really into drugs'—or 'my sister'
or 'my daughter' or 'my brother.' People are afraid. They know these kids
are going to have problems, and it's a
real problem for society."
D
ucks and bunnies trim the center's pastel-colored walls. Diapers and receiving blankets are
stacked high in the supply room. Each
nursery has a rocking chair where the
babies can be cuddled.
Many infants are voluntarily placed
in the program by their parents, who
are encouraged to remain involved in
their care. Seeing the effects of their
drug use during pregnancy is painful
for many mothers. Some, under close
social-worker supervision, are eventually allowed to take their babies home.
Still, about half of the children are
placed in foster homes that have been
carefully screened beforehand.

While the average daily cost of hospital care is $800 to $1,000 or more per
baby, the center's $145-per-day cost is
a bargain. Its annual budget of
$600,000 is supplemented by more
than $300,000 in donations and the help
of 300 volunteers. "Altogether, we've
saved the state $2.6 million by getting
these babies out of the hospital early,"
Drennen says.
"If I were asked to make the decision, the interim-care center would be
the preferable method to treat these
babies," says Alvin Novack, M.D.,
head of the Division of General Pediatrics at the University of Washington
Medical Center. "The environment is so
much more homelike than a hospital."
Says Representative Leonard, " I
think it's one of the best prevention/
early-intervention programs. We're
saving a whole generation of kids."
And maybe the time will come when
the center is no longer needed. "Our
hope is that someday we'll be out of
business," Richards says, "that we can
handle the drug problem, and we won't
have babies bom drug-affected." •

Dear Mrs. Rodham C l i n t o n :
This l e t t e r i s a f o l l o w up t o my l e t t e r o f October 18 i n
which I i n v i t e d you t o come t o the Ji 9th_ D i a t r i r ^ gf Oh-ip t-n speak
at an a l l - d a y heaich care reform conference I ~ p l a n t o h o l d
sometime i n the Spring. A copy of my o r i g i n a l l e t t e r i s attached
f o r your information.
Since my o r i g i n a l l e t t e r , a member of my s t a f f spoke w i t h
your scheduler t o determine the best date f o r the v i s i t .
I t was
suggested t h a t I w r i t e t o you w i t h a l i s t of suggested dates.
As I s a i d i n my f i r s t l e t t e r , 1 am very aware t h a t you have
an extremely f u l l schedule. While you are i n v i t e d t o p a r t i c i p a t e
i n as much of the conference as you would l i k e , 1 a n t i c i p a t e that
you would be the featured speaker t o lead o f f the conference i n
the morning, a t lunch, or as the f i n a l speaker of the day. Given
enough advanced preparation, we w i l l work the conference around
your schedule.
Our preference i s t o hold the conference on a Saturday i n
March, which means March 5, 12, 19, or 26. We a n t i c i p a t e t h a t
committee hearings w i l l have moved along by March and t h a t we
w i l l have some substantive l e g i s l a t i v e issues t o discuss. We
would l i k e t o conduct the conference on a Saturday so people who
work during the week would be afforded the opportunity t o attend.
Again, however, i f you cannot come on the day or dates l i s t e d
above, we w i l l work w i t h you t o determine a mutually convenient
date.
As I i n d i c a t e d i n my f i r s t l e t t e r , I have been conducting
numerous town meetings (26 a t l a s t count) around my d i s t r i c t .
People almost u n i v e r s a l l y recognize the need f o r reform and are
supportive of some type of change i n the system. However, there

COALITION FOR NATIONAL HEALTH REFORM
AND ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED
September 13, 1993
Ira Magaziner
Senior Advisor for Policy Development
Old Executive Office Building, Room 216
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Ira:
Members of the Coalition for National Health Reform and Access to Care for the
Underserved are requesting an appointment with you and Judy Feder, affording us the
opportunity to review together final aspects of the Administration's health reform proposal
as related to our broad constituencies. If you recall, during our previous meeting with you
on July 28, you generously offered to meet again with us prior to official release of the
Administration's recommendations.
We assure you that we recognize the constraints of your schedule, and it is not our
intent to saddle you with additional burdens at this critical time. Nonetheless, details of
the reform package released to the press and public make it imperative that we meet to
discuss outstanding questions related to Medicaid and the continuance of access and
quality care to America's poor and medically underserved. Based on our long experience
serving the disadvantaged, we have grave reservations that a workable health policy can
be achieved without inclusion of specific mandates for federal standards and safeguards
to ensure that health care will not diminish for vulnerable populations. These are
Americans at risk, living in some of the nation's most devastated commmunities. Their
pervasive needs and environment demand strategies and interventions beyond a
"mainstream" medical approach, if improved access to care and positive health outcomes
are to be realized.

Needless to say, we are eager to meet with you and Ms. Feder in the interests of
helping this Administration craft a strong and equitable health care system. We will
continue to work with you and will be calling your office to determine if a convenient
meeting time can be scheduled within the few remaining days before the President's
message to Congress. For your reference, we have enclosed our letter to you of August
4th, as well as a summation of our July 28th meeting at the Children's Defense Fund. We
can be reached at the following: (Chris Burch 202-408-0223; Dan Hawkins 202-659-8008).
Thank you for your consideration of this urgent request.

Dear Ira:
On behalf of the 30 organizations that attended last week's meeting, we want to
thank you again for briefing us on the proposed treatment of Medicaid and low income
families in the Administration's national health refonn plan. As you knowfromthe
questions and background materials we forwarded to you, the financing of health
insurance and services for low income Americans is as fundamental an issue in the design
of this new plan as is the decision to include or exclude any large population of
Americans.
Wc are pleased that it is your Intent to maintain a separate Medicaid program
only temporarily, that current Medicaid beneficiaries will not be left worse off in terms of
coverage or cost-sharing under the new plan, that the plan will provide Medicaid
beneficiaries and other consumers with the same base payment level to plans and will
include enhancements for poverty, and that you understand the gap left in the proposed
plan for children with special health care needs and are willing to consider alternatives
for this vulnerable population. We have attached a summary of our understanding of the
plan from the meeting and haveflaggedsome of the unanswered questions (or unclear
aspects) regarding the proposal, as well as areas where we continue to have concerns.
We understand that these next few weeks will be busy as you finalize some'of your
recommendations. As wc stated when the meeting closed, we would like to meet with
the actuaries to discuss the data and assumptions used In the deliberations over the
Medicaid program. A number of individuals attending the meeting have a great deal of
expertise and knowledge of the Medicaid program which wc believe could be helpful.
Secondly, a small group of us would like to meet with you and Judy Feder to discuss
some of our additional questions and technical issues related to the role of Medicaid.
And finally, we would like to accept your offer to review thefinalplan before it is
released.

The following outline summarizes our understanding of your responses to six key
questions posed in the July 28th meeting. In addition, it includes follow-up questions
related to each of your responses. We look forward to meeting with you and Judy Feder
to clarify further our understanding of how the Administration's health reform plan will
address the health cara needs of low income Americans and bring them Into the
mainstream of a new system.
QiraSTIONI:
ARE YOU PLANNING TO TREAT MEDICAID SEPARATELY?
Medicaid will be treated separately for a period of time, but there will be a phase-in
plan.
O
Will the phase-in process be set by law and not conditional on the level of
savings achieved through health care reform?
O
Will there be a specified date for full integration of Medicaid, and is there
an estimated time?
Accountable health plans will be required to include/bid for Medicaid patients.
O
If plans have the option to 'buy-out" any obligation to enroll Medicaidfinanced people, will the monies be reapplied to Medicaid finance/delivery?
QUEST1QI? 2:
WILL MEDICAID CONTINUE TO BE UNDERFINANCED AND
UNDERPAY?
The financing of Medicaid will be inadequate by an estimated 535 billion.
Health alliances will contract with accountable health plans at a single, "blended"
capitation rate for both Medicaid and privately-financed members of an alliance. The
blended rates will be adjusted for risk - on the basis of health status, poverty, and age.
o
Will the risk adjustments be federally mandated or recommended? .
O
Will the risk adjusters be subject to negotiations between alliance and plan?
Rates will be blended at the alliance level to eliminate differentials in provider payments.
O
Will alliances be large enough to create adequate funding pools and
blended rates?
O
Will mechanisms be created to protect or subsidize alliances with a
disproportionate share of Medicaid patients?
There will be required maintenance of effort on funding mandatory benefits. Specifically,
states will be required to maintain funding levels.

O
How will thfi icfbrm plan compensateforthe wide atate-by-state variations
ic per capita Medicaid spending (e.g., will there be a mechanism similar to
a national community-rated payment level for privately covered persons)?
O
Will there be a Federal entitlement cap that would reduce tbe amount of
funds available to blend In the alliances?
Current spending on Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments will be
reduced or eliminated, with these funds applied to offset some of the cost of
implementing health care reform.
o
How will those DSH payments that have been approved for use as part of
states' budgeting be maintained or replaced?
6
How does reduction of DSH funding relate to requirements for
maintenance of effort?
O
How will disproportionate share hospitals be compensated for additional
costs incurred in serving Medicaid patients?
For supplemental, "wrap-around" services, maintenance of effort will be required for both
State and Federal funding.
O
Will funding for supplemental services be linked to individuals, rather than
become a block grant to states?
QUESTION 3:
HOW WILL THE PROPOSED APPROACH DEAL WITH THE
COMPLEXITY AND VARIATION IN MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY
AND ENROLLMENT?
There will be a revised eligibility structure with current Medicaid eligibility groups divided
into two large categories. Specifically, the AFDC and SSI cash assistance groups will
remain separately financed through Medicaid, and others (i.e., non-cash, under age 65)
currently eligible for Medicaid may enter employer«bascd plans, retain Medicaid, or
participate in both.
O
Will dual eligibility (i.e., in public and private plans) be an option for both
cash .and non-cash individuals?
O
Will eligibility for wrap-around benefits or subsidies be based on a simple
income test, rather than categorical tests, for non-cash populations?
O
Will there be a simple eligibility/enrollrnent process for Medicaid that is
similar to the employer-based system and not primarily based in welfare
offices?

In terms of enrollment, a choice of plans will he assured for all Americans. An Open
enrollment approach will used to ensure access. Specifically, Medicaid recipients will
continue to be guaranteed choice of provider.
O
Will choices include fee-for-service, as well as managed care plans?
O
Will there be any limits on plan choice based on Medicaid status (e.g. only
low cost plans or only up to the average cost plan)?
o
Will Medicaid beneGdaries be assured a choice of plans with no cost,
sharing?
O
Will there be incentivej for plans to accept Medicaid recipients?
O
Will the approach use upper limits on enrollment to avoid creating
"Medicaid only" plans and ensure that lower limits are not used to force
Medicaid patients Into particular plans?
QUESTION 4:
WHAT ARE THE COST SHARING PROTECTIONS FOR LOW
INCOME FAMILIES?
The funds to subsidize costs will be allocated among Medicaid recipients, low income
populations not in Medicaid, and small business - with roughly three-quarters of the total
going to individuals.
There are no cost sharing requirements for preventive health servicei.
The cost of premiums will be income adjusted and based on a 19 cap.
.%
O
At what income level will a full public subsidy for premiums be paid for
low-income, employed persons?
There will be a cap on out-of-pocket expenses.
.
O
Will co-payments and deductibles be subsidized for people whose income is
below 200% of poverty?
O
Will there be a sliding fee scale for co-payments that is set with a zero
bottom or begins at $1 cost-sharingforthe poorest recipients?
QUESTION 5:
HOW WILL THE STANDARD BENEFIT PLAN DIFFER FROM
THE CURRENT MEDICAID PACKAGE?
States will be required to continue coverage for Medicaid benefits that are currently
mandatory under Federal law through a maintenance of effort provision.

Will the full range of jervices covered by the Early and Periodic Screening,
Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program remain covered? For which
populations?
There will be a supplemental, "wrap-around" benefit package (Le., services in addition to
those in the standard benefit package for all Americans). Wrap-around benefits will be
of three types: "enabling services" (eg. transportation, outreach), services for special
needs (e.g. rehabilitation, durable medical equipment), and additional health care
coverage for low income individuals.
O
How does the list of wrap-around benefits compare with cunent Medicaid
coverage?
O
What populations will be entitled to wrap-around'benefits (e.g. what
income or eligibility criteria will be used)?
O
Will transitional coverage with wrap-around benefits be used as an
incentive for families to move from AFDC to work? (Under current law
the entire benefits package is available for a transitional period to Medicaid
recipients who leave AFDC as a result of employment.)
QUESTION
ft
WHAT STEPS WILL BE TAKEN TO ENSURE ACCESS TO
NEEDED SERVICES IN UNDERSERVED COMMTftflTIES?
Accountable health plans will be required to contract with essential providers.
O
Will essential providers include community-based clinics and hospitals
providing significant amounts of inpetient and outpan'ent care to low
income, underserved populations?
O
Will there be incentives for participation of essential providers in networks
and support for such providers to form networks and accountable health
plans?
O
What mechanisms will be used to ensure adequate payments in such
contracts?
O
Will there be quality standards, monitoring, and enforcement to ensure
access in communities designated as underserved?
Funds will be available to reduce the number of underserved communities and improve
the health care delivery infrastructure.
O
What funds will be available for health professions training, expansion of
services (staff salaries, operating costs, etc.), and capital financing to
upgrade outdated facilities and build facilities in underserved areas?

SUMMARY OF CHURCH ALLIANCE PAPER ON
HEALTH CARE REFORM
The Church Alliance i s a coalition of church pension boards and
employee benefit programs of 29 h i s t o r i c , mainline Protestant and
Jewish denominations. These boards and programs provide health
care benefits for over 400,000 ministers, rabbis and lay workers,
as well as t h e i r beneficiaries.
Health care benefit plans of smaller denominations are generally
f u l l y insured, while plans maintained by most of the larger
denominations are self-insured.
There are a number of differences between health care benefit
plans maintained by secular employers and churches or synagogues.
These differences are discussed on pages 5 to 7 of the attached
paper. These differences include, among others:
The necessity for relating to a large number of small,
unsophisticated employers, most with very limited budgets;
•
The need for portable plan benefits for ministers and rabbis
(and, to a lesser extent, lay workers) who move from church
to church during their working careers;
A d i f f i c u l t y in identifying "the employer" (for purposes of
rules imposed on or t i e d to "the employer"), in view of the
many different forms of church p o l i t i e s and the non-profit
status of churches;
The necessity for churches to provide health care in r u r a l
areas, and in states where a denomination may only have a few
ministers and lay workers; and
A health care plan participant population that i s older than
i s the norm for the population generally.
On a more s p e c i f i c health care related issue, some church s e l f insured health care plans are interested i n participating in a
Federal c e r t i f i c a t i o n process similar to that being proposed for
MEWAs, so that i t can be made clear that these plans are not
subject to separate regulation by the insurance laws of a l l 50
states.
In l i g h t of the above, the Church Alliance's goals in connection
with health care reform are:
1.
To make sure that church health care benefit plans do not
suffer unintended, adverse consequences when health care
reform l e g i s l a t i o n i s enacted;
2.
To make i t possible for church health care benefit plans to
continue to meet t h e i r h i s t o r i c theological and moral
commitment to provide benefits to t h e i r ministers and lay
workers; and
3.
To c l a r i f y that church self-insured health care benefit plans
are not subject to separate regulation by a l l 50 states.

�benefit programs, l e g i s l a t i o n that, through inadvertence, has
created unintended problems for church employee benefit programs.
Typically, these problems have been corrected after discussions
with Members of Congress and t h e i r s t a f f s . From these
experiences, the Church Alliance has learned that the individuals
charged with drafting employee benefits l e g i s l a t i o n t y p i c a l l y are
unaware of church employee benefit plans and that the unique
features of the church employee benefit plan environment rarely
f i t with l e g i s l a t i o n which has been crafted with secular
employers in mind. The Church Alliance therefore hopes that i t s
representatives can begin a dialogue with the Clinton
Administration health care reform task force so that inadvertent
detrimental consequences on church employee benefit plans w i l l be
avoided.
Church Employee Benefit Plans —
Background
Many church employee benefit programs were formed decades
(and, i n some cases, centuries) ago to provide r e l i e f and
benefits for r e t i r e d , disabled or impoverished ministers and
t h e i r families as particular cases of need were i d e n t i f i e d . Over
the years, these programs have evolved to meet the employee
benefit needs of denominational ministers and lay workers on a
more systematic basis. Today, church retirement and welfare
benefit programs provide benefits for ministers, rabbis and lay
workers employed in a l l forms of pastoral, healing, teaching,
preaching, and evangelistic ministries and missions, including,
among others, l o c a l churches, seminaries, old-age homes,
orphanages, mission s o c i e t i e s , hospitals, elementary and
secondary schools, colleges and u n i v e r s i t i e s , church camps and
day care centers.
The provision of retirement and welfare benefits for
ministers, rabbis and lay workers, i n recognition of t h e i r
denominational service, i s administered and funded in most
denominations through a denomination-wide church pension board or
equivalent governing body. A church pension board i s an integral
part of the denomination i t serves and i s engaged i n the
functions of the denomination, even though separately
incorporated i n many denominations. A church pension board i s
controlled by or associated with the denomination with which i t
is affiliated.
Throughout history, church denominations have organized
themselves i n a variety of ways r e f l e c t i n g t h e i r own theological
b e l i e f s and forms of church polity. Some denominations are
organized i n a " h i e r a r c h i c a l " polity, in which a "parent" church
organization sets the policy for the entire denomination. Some
denominations have organized themselves i n a "presbyterian" or
"representational" structure under which policy-making i s carried
out primarily through local units of church government consisting
of representatives drawn from the various churches within the
- 2 -
�geographic area served by a particular unit. Other
denominations, composed of autonomous churches, or conventions or
associations of churches, cooperate i n "congregational" or
"connectional" forms of governance i n which churches and church
ministry organizations are associated by voluntary, cooperative
or covenantal participation.
To add to the variety and complexity of church p o l i t i e s ,
church denominations are often national and, i n many cases,
international i n scope. A single denomination may consist of
thousands of l o c a l churches and church ministry organizations,
along with foreign ministry organizations. Church pension boards
thus t y p i c a l l y provide retirement and welfare benefits to
thousands of ministers and lay workers.
The manner and extent to which control i s exercised over
churches and church ministry organizations within a denomination
depends i n part on the form of church governance the denomination
has taken. I n many denominations, especially those that are
congregational or connectional i n nature, centralized control i n
the usual sense i s minimal or nonexistent. Churches, synagogues
and church ministry organizations i n congregational and
connectional denominations, while sharing common religious bonds
and convictions, are autonomous units that operate by consensus
and have associated by voluntary, cooperative or covenantal
participation i n church conventions or annual conferences, rather
than being controlled by a "parent" church organization.
The church community thus r e f l e c t s several different forms
of polity, with each of the 29 denominations represented through
the Church Alliance having i t s own unique methods and traditions
for r e l a t i n g to i t s individual churches, synagogues, church
ministry organizations, and the ministers and lay workers serving
that p a r t i c u l a r denomination.
Because of the d i v e r s i t y i n the
tenets, b e l i e f s , customs, p o l i t i e s and traditions of churches and
church ministry organizations, i t i s d i f f i c u l t , and a t times
impossible, to apply rules crafted with a secular organizational
form i n mind to the employee benefit programs they maintain.
A Description of Church Health Care Benefit Plans
Church health care benefit plans are "church plans" as that
term i s defined i n section 414(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, (the "Code") and Section 3(33) of T i t l e I of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
As such, a church plan must be "established and maintained . . .
for i t s employees (or their beneficiaries) by a church or by a
convention or association of churches . . . ." Thus, church
health care benefit plans are established and maintained for the
benefit of ministers, rabbis and lay workers who serve or have
served a particular denomination. A church health care benefit
plan therefore does not and cannot provide health care benefits
- 3-
�to the congregants (other than those who are ministers and lay
workers) of a particular denomination and, by statute, cannot be
primarily established or maintained for employees of a church or
convention or association of churches who are employed i n
connection with an "unrelated trade or business" (as such term i s
defined i n the Code).
The "church plan" definition i n the Code and ERISA
recognizes the diversity of p o l i t i e s within the church community
by providing that persons who are employed by organizations which
are either controlled by or associated with a church or a
convention or association of churches are deemed to be employed
by the denomination and are e l i g i b l e to participate i n a church
plan. For t h i s purpose, a church or a convention or association
of churches i s considered to be "associated" with a particular
organization i f the organization shares common religious bonds
and convictions with that church or a convention or association
of churches.
Most church health care benefit plans of the larger
denominations are self-insured, while plans maintained by the
smaller denominations tend to be f u l l y insured. The t y p i c a l
denominational health care plan w i l l have participants i n a l l 50
states, with participants being located i n both urban and r u r a l
areas.
Under the t y p i c a l denominational health care plan, the
following types of individuals have coverage:
1.
P r i e s t s , rabbis and ministers, including missionaries
and, i n the case of Lutheran churches, associates i n
ministry (e.g.. deacons and deaconesses, commissioned
teachers and other commissioned workers);
2.
Church and synagogue staff (including music directors,
educational directors, s e c r e t a r i a l s t a f f , and
custodians);
3.
Chaplains;
4.
Youth center s t a f f ;
5.
Seminarians and seminary staff, and employees of church
colleges and elementary and secondary schools;
6.
Employees of church governing bodies and agencies;
7.
Employees of church pension boards; and
8.
Hospital and retirement home s t a f f (including
administrators, maintenance workers, e t c . ) .
- 4-
�Although e l i g i b i l i t y to participate i n church health care
plans varies by polity, the e l i g i b i l i t y requirements for many of
the denominational health care plans are s i m i l a r to e l i g i b i l i t y
requirements used i n the secular corporate environment. Thus, i n
general, active employees regularly scheduled to work 20 or more
hours per week and a l l r e t i r e e s who meet the denomination's
various r e t i r e e e l i g i b i l i t y provisions (e.g.. for Medicare
supplemental coverage) are t y p i c a l l y e l i g i b l e for coverage.
Church pension boards which administer denominational health
care plans are governed by boards of trustees or directors. The
members of these boards are primarily drawn from clergy and lay
persons who are members of the denomination and who bring
s i g n i f i c a n t s k i l l and expertise to the oversight of
denominational employee benefit programs. Many of these board
members are business leaders with special expertise i n finance,
insurance, and health care, and include actuaries and attorneys.
These boards of trustees and directors have the responsibility,
among many others, for ensuring that denominational health care
programs are funded with adequate resources on a sound a c t u a r i a l
and f i n a n c i a l basis.
For t h i s reason, church health care benefit plans (when
self-insured) maintain claims and surplus reserves which are
closely monitored by qualified actuaries. Such reserves are, of
course, maintained by an insurer when the plan i s f u l l y insured.
Some church self-insured health care plans also have stop-loss
protection i n place, but the larger plans t y p i c a l l y do not have
such coverage (because their actuaries have determined that,
given the plan's large number of participants, adequate surplus,
and the plan's demographics and actuarial experience, such
protection i s not required — p a r t i c u l a r l y i n view of i t s cost).
Unique C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of Church Health Care Benefit Plans
Church health care benefit plans are established and
administered i n an environment that i s far d i f f e r e n t than
corporate America. For example, churches and synagogues
ultimately r e l y on contributions, including t i t h e s and offerings,
to support t h e i r operations, including the provision of employee
benefits to t h e i r ministers, rabbis and lay workers. Unlike
secular business e n t i t i e s and government employers, churches and
synagogues cannot pass increased health care benefit costs on to
customers or meet such costs by r a i s i n g taxes. I n addition, the
individual churches or synagogues participating i n a
denominational health care benefit plan almost a l l have a
r e l a t i v e l y small number of employees (averaging one to three i n
number), and i n the case of the larger denominations, these
individual churches number i n the thousands. I n the majority of
these small churches and synagogues, oversight and administrative
services are provided by members of the church on a voluntary
basis. Imposing new health care requirements that invoke the
- 5 -
�necessity for gathering data w i l l thus work a s i g n i f i c a n t
hardship on church health care benefit plans.
P o r t a b i l i t y of health care i s c r i t i c a l to many denominations
because clergy, and to a lesser extent lay workers, often move
throughout the country, serving many congregations or church
agencies of the denomination. I n order to ask a minister or
rabbi to move, i t i s necessary to provide a national,
denomination-wide, portable health plan that w i l l not require
proof of i n s u r a b i l i t y , waiting periods or exclusions for preexisting conditions with every move. The plans provided by many
denominations provide continuity of coverage throughout the
United States, and even the entire world i n the case of those
serving as foreign missionaries.
As described above, church denominational structures involve
complex relationships that make identification of a minister's or
lay worker's "employer" for Code and ERISA purposes a d i f f i c u l t
task. This task i s p a r t i c u l a r l y complicated by the fact that
whether a church form of government i s h i e r a r c h i c a l ,
presbyterian, representational, connectional, or congregational
would appear to have significant consequences i n terms of what
organization (or organizations) may be treated as "the employer"
for these purposes. Tying health care plan requirements to "the
employer" can thus produce confusion and administrative
uncertainty for churches i n complying with such requirements, and
could r e s u l t i n different treatment for particular denominations
based solely on t h e i r h i s t o r i c polity (a questionable policy
result).
Several other unique c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of church health care
plans focus more d i r e c t l y on t h e i r demographics, health benefit
costs, and provided benefits:
1.
Church health care plans must serve churches,
synagogues and church ministry organizations located i n
both urban and r u r a l areas. Thus, the features of
health care reform l e g i s l a t i o n that affect the delivery
of health care to r u r a l Americans w i l l be p a r t i c u l a r l y
important, perhaps more so than for secular corporate
employers with primarily an urban workforce.
2.
Due to the t y p i c a l low s a l a r i e s provided to ministers,
rabbis and lay workers, as well as the desire of many
ministers to continue to preach and teach as long as
t h e i r health permits, there are a s i g n i f i c a n t number of
active employees serving i n churches and church
ministry organizations who are over age 65. Indeed,
demographic data indicates that the average age of
church workers and clergy i s higher than the average
age of the general population.
- 6-
�3.
The modest compensation of almost a l l ministers, rabbis
and lay workers imposes a heavy r e s p o n s i b i l i t y on
church employee benefit programs to provide needed
health care in a manner that requires as l i t t l e out-ofpocket cost as possible.
4.
There are also a s i g n i f i c a n t number of what might be
called "member couples" ( i . e . . husband and wife
ministry teams) working i n churches, and these "member
couples" present unique cost of benefit issues for
church health care benefit plans.
5.
Denominations t y p i c a l l y hold the view that they have a
moral commitment to provide adequate health care
coverage for the minister and s t a f f person ( i f any)
serving individual small churches.
(Most church
employers f a l l in t h i s s i z e category.) This commitment
recognizes that the members of a new mission church or
a small church may not be able to provide the entire
support for the minister and the s t a f f person at the
church. However, through a socialized system of
funding health benefits, the resources of the larger
churches in the denomination subsidize the health care
benefits provided to ministers and lay workers of small
churches. Thus, although an individual's health care
benefit cost can be established within the
denomination, the amount of the cost actually paid by a
l o c a l church varies in some denominations with the s i z e
of the employing church. In addition, as mentioned
above, church health care benefit plans often r e l y on
charitable contributions to subsidize the cost of
benefits. Health care premium guidelines or
requirements should be drafted to allow such cost
sharing arrangements and donations to continue.
6.
Church health care benefit plans generally do not apply
pre-existing condition r e s t r i c t i o n s to clergy and lay
workers as they move from service i n one state to
service i n another.
7.
Church health care benefit plans are unlike insurance
companies and other health care providers i n that they
must continue to provide coverage i n a l l 50 states and
throughout the world, irrespective of the number of
individuals covered in each l o c a l i t y . For example,
church health care benefit plans continue to provide
coverage in remote areas or in areas where t h e i r
denomination i s represented by only a handful of
members.
- 7 -
�The Church Healthcare Network
Several years ago, some of the denominations involved i n the
Church Alliance, struggling with mounting health care costs,
began to consider the establishment of a point - of - service
managed care network for church health care benefit plans. The
Church Healthcare Network grew out of these discussions. This
network consists of 10 denominations representing approximately
120,000 employees located i n a l l 50 states.
In 1991, the Church Healthcare Network undertook a
comprehensive study of available network managed care programs
and t h e i r future potential for containing costs for the group of
denominations i n the Church Healthcare Network. I n connection
with t h i s study, detailed demographic information was gathered
that generated data i n a number of areas.
However, t h i s cost savings effort by the Church Healthcare
Network did not come to f r u i t i o n . Among other issues, when some
of the potential vendors of managed care programs were contacted
by the Network, the Network was informed that, as a group, i t was
possibly a M W , and these vendors were unwilling to manage a
EA
j o i n t Network program due to potential M W problems under
EA
current law.
M W Issues
EA
During the 102nd Congress, l e g i s l a t i o n was introduced which
would have provided for a federal c e r t i f i c a t i o n procedure for
self-insured MEWAs subject to ERISA. Under t h i s procedure, a
health care benefit M W that met reserve and other requirements
EA
could obtain c e r t i f i c a t i o n and thereby be e n t i t l e d to the benefit
of ERISA preemption of state insurance laws with respect to the
operation of the MEWA's health care benefits plan. This federal
M W l e g i s l a t i o n grew out of a concern on the part of Congress
EA
that there were fraudulent or underfunded MEWAs i n operation that
could be out of the reach of state insurance regulators due to
the operation of the current ERISA preemption provisions.
Because church health care benefit plans are not subject to
T i t l e I of ERISA,. ERISA preemption of state insurance law i s not
available to such plans. A need for compliance with the
insurance laws of a l l f i f t y states would be prohibitively
expensive, p a r t i c u l a r l y when only a handful of members are served
in certain states.
As noted above, i t may not always be c l e a r whether a
p a r t i c u l a r denomination i s technically a "single employer," i n
view of the diverse forms of church p o l i t i e s . Thus, some s e l f insured church health care benefit plans which are or may be
MEWAs are also interested i n being able to obtain Federal
c e r t i f i c a t i o n and thereby become entitled to preemption of state
- 8 -
�insurance laws. However, under the proposed M W l e g i s l a t i o n ,
EA
many of the requirements which would be imposed upon a M W which
EA
desires Federal c e r t i f i c a t i o n (and thus the benefit of ERISA
preemption) do not " f i t " when applied to the structure of many
church self-insured health care benefit plans. However, because
these plans are operated on a sound a c t u a r i a l basis and are
appropriately funded, and s a t i s f y in concept the substance of the
proposed c e r t i f i c a t i o n requirements, the Church Alliance believes
that these plans should be entitled to seek the same preemptive
r e l i e f which would be granted to c e r t i f i e d MEWAs. Therefore, the
Church A l l i a n c e has developed the elements of a l e g i s l a t i v e
proposal that would permit church self-insured health care plans
to obtain preemption of state insurance regulation in return for
s a t i s f y i n g c e r t a i n reserve and reporting requirements. These
elements are:
1.
The church health care benefit plan would have to be
described in Code section 414(e) and ERISA
Section 3 (33).
2.
The plan would have to maintain claims and surplus
reserves, with the amount of the surplus reserve to
vary based on the number of plan participants. Stoploss insurance coverage would only be required for
smaller plans.
3.
A church health care benefit plan desiring preemption
would apply to the Department of Labor for
c e r t i f i c a t i o n . The application for c e r t i f i c a t i o n would
have to include a statement by a q u a l i f i e d actuary that
the reserve and stop-loss requirements were met for the
most recent plan year.
4.
Each year, a q u a l i f i e d actuary must f i l e a statement
with the Department of Labor c e r t i f y i n g that the
reserve and stop-loss requirements were met for the
most recent plan year.
This possible l e g i s l a t i v e proposal would also make i t c l e a r that
a c o a l i t i o n of church health care benefit plans, each of which
meets the c e r t i f i c a t i o n requirements (to the extent self-insured)
would also be free of M W concerns.
EA
Conclusion
With respect to health care reform in general, the Church
Alliance affirms i t s support for reform which w i l l succeed in
holding down the dramatic acceleration of health care costs and
extending access to coverage for those now uninsured. I t s
s p e c i f i c goals in connection with general health care reform are
two:
- 9 -
�1.
To ensure that church health care benefit plans do not
suffer unintended adverse consequences as health care
reform l e g i s l a t i o n i s developed, and
2.
to make i t possible for church health care benefit
plans to be able to continue to meet t h e i r h i s t o r i c
theological and moral commitment to provide adequate
benefits to denominational ministers, rabbis and lay
workers within the confines of their respective
theological structures and p o l i t i e s .
The Church Alliance i s also interested i n participating i n
the development of any M W c e r t i f i c a t i o n l e g i s l a t i o n . The
EA
p o s s i b i l i t y of regulation by any state insurance laws that do not
c l e a r l y provide exemptions for church health care benefit plans
i s of great concern. The Church Alliance believes that, i f M W
EA
c e r t i f i c a t i o n procedures are a part of future health care
l e g i s l a t i o n , an appropriate statutory provision can be developed
so that church self-insured health care plans which meet certain
reserve and reporting requirements can receive the benefit of
preemption of state insurance regulation.

Dear Mr. Ickes:
The New York Academy of Medicine is in the process of planning a seminar series entitled
"The Changing Nature of Health Care and its Effects on Urban America". This late
afternoon series is aimed at health policy makers, health administrators, health advocates,
academics and others concerned about the health of urban populations. This series is designed
as a relatively informal conversation among two or three very knowledgeable people who have
their fingers on the pulse of change; an informed moderator will facilitate each session.
Interaction with the audience will be an integral feature. The series will be held at the Academy.
We are planning for about 150 participants at each session so as to facilitate an exchange of
views. A discussion among the attendees and discussants.
The seminars are tentatively outlined as follows:
Spring Seminars:
Session

�I am writing to request your participation as a discussant in Seminar #1, The Process of Change Washington's Priorities for Urban America. Your background and experience in this area makes
you an ideal person to converse on this subject and our intended audience will benefit
enormously from your participation.
Although we have identified a number of dates for the seminars, the order of the seminars is, to
some extent, flexible based on the availability of speakers. With this in mind, I thing it would
be best if Aida Jama from my staff follows up with you directly to discuss your interest and
availability. I would of course be very pleased to hear from you if you have any questions,
concerns or suggestions about the series.
I hope you will give serious consideration to participating in this activity. I think it has the
potential to be lively, provocative, as well as instructive and useful.
Sincerely,
Jeremiah A. Barondess, M.D.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

I welcome this opportunity to request a meeting at your earliest
convenience. I've spoken to your aide today, and it appears
a time can be established.
My peers and I have many concerns. I represent a significant
demographic sector of society -the twenties and thirties populus.
Having spoken with many of them, I have not only their support
in coming to see you, but also represent their comments.
I think it is important that you know. And I anticipate our discussion.

Statement Of Principles for a National Health Care System
No comprehensive, user-oriented, community-accountable system of health care exists
in the United States today. The cunent situation givesriseto excessive costs and
misdirection Of health care resources, leaving 35 million people uninsured
(disproportionately involving those from minority ethnic groups), an additional 50
million people underinsured, and access to care problematic even for many of those
with insurance.
The current debate regarding a national health program has focused on fiscal issues,
particularly cost containment, rather than on health and public health Issues such as
lack of achievement of stated public health goals.
As an organization with an infonned interest in health care and commitment to the
public's health, the Public Health Association of New York City (PHANYC) supports
nutional legislation encompassing the following principles:
1.
universal coverage for all people residing In the United States;
2.
comprehensive benefits, emphasizing primary care and preventive
services, but including long-term care and specialty care;
3.
afinancingmechanism based on a progressive surtax on individual and
corporate income taxes;
4.
national standards of care for all services, with a well-developed and
supported quality assurance mechanism;
5.
a single-payer mechanism, whose cost savings would be invested in
expanded coverage;
6.
community-based planning and budgeting (including facility, personnel,
and service planning, and capital and operating budgeting) within the
context of a national planning and budgeting process;

the creation and /or recreation of a national epidemiological and
resource data base to facilitate national and local planning and
evaluation, and allocation of resources, including the education of health
care workers (physicians, nurses, nurse-practitioners, nutritionists,
physician assistants, nurse-midwives, technicians, aides, etc) to meet the
anticipated needs;
the creation of incentives and /or service obligations to promote and

underserved areas such as inner cities and rural areas;
;
IO*
active and continuous support for primary-care research and outcomes

an emphasis on the education of the public in regard to healthy
behaviors and strategies for illness prevention for both individuals and
communities;

Health Care.
Some 15 years ago my wife and I set up a t r u s t f o r our r e l i g i o u s
a f f i l i a t e Temple Emanu-El to bring a speaker to Birmingham on a topic of
i n t e r e s t to the congregation as w e l l as the community at large. We have
been successful i n securing speakers of National and I n t e r n a t i o n a l reputation
such as: Lester Thurow, Jeanne K i r k p a t r i c k , Ed Koch, and so f o r t h . The
usual format has been that the speech occurs on Sunday i n the early a f t e r noon. We prefer the speaker to a r r i v e i n time f o r a press conference p r i o r
to the t a l k and attend i f possible a reception f o r a l i m i t e d number of
people (about 100) i n the evening or the evening before the t a l k . The t a l k
usually l a s t s about a hour followed by a question and answer period.
H i s t o r i c a l l y , we have paid t r a v e l expenses, h o t e l accomodations and the
fee set by the speaker. We have a Public Relations person to handle
p u b l i c i t y , arrangements, t i c k e t s , and so f o r t h . The t a l k i s free to the

people i n the audience of a l l p o l i t i c a l and c o n t r o v e r s i a l persuasions
concerning the medical changes on the horizon. I am a r e t i r e d physician
and support the administration^ philosophy f o r change.
Please seriously consider t h i s i n v i t a t i o n as I f e e l i t would be of

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
On behalf of the Washington Workshops Foundation I would like to invite you to be a
keynote speaker at an upcoming session of our National Student Leadership Congressional
Seminar. We would appreciate your joining us at a time and place in Washington convenient to
your busy schedule. A copy of our 1994 brochure is attached.
The Washington Workshops seminars are the award-winning nonpartisan leadership
programs, offered since 1967, and open to motivated and concerned young Americans from
across the nation. Through the years, over 40,000 young people have participated in this
unique, hands-on citizenship education program here in our Nation's Capital. Please join us in
1994, as our honored guest and speaker for a few remarks of your choosing concerning the new
initiatives of the Administration, followed by Q and A's. Our schedule will be happy to
accomodate your own.
Perhaps now more than ever in the twenty-seven year history of Washington Workshops
seminars, our citizens must feel their government is open and available to them. Surely, many of
our current government leaders, the President being foremost, can point to a moment in their
early lives when through the words of another they found the inspiration to serve our nation.
We share the Administration's goal relating to youth and pledge our assistance to you as you
seek to expand opportunities for young Americans of today to assume their rightful place as
national and international leaders of a new century.
We will be following up with your office in the next few weeks. Until then, please
accept our best wishes for continued success.

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
President Clinton's proposed Health Plan will play an integral part in the future of human resource
management. The plans he has will forever change how America looks at health care and affect how
businesses implement their health care policies.
The National Human Resource Association is sponsoring a symposium on Health Care as part of it's 44th
Annual Conference, KALEIDOSCOPE: The Changing Patterns of Human Resource Management
being held in New York City. A distinguished panel of experts representing providers, carriers, large
and small business and consultingfirmshave been assembled to inform and educate conference attendees.
We believe we must present a balanced view of all the issues. Therefore, we strongly believe that
representation of the Administration's view is essential.
We invite you (or your representative) to participate in this symposium, which will be attended by over
200 human resource executives, managers and professionals. Your knowledge and experience is needed
to educate the people who influence benefits policies and care decisions within their organizations.
The National Human Resources Association (formerly the International Association for Personnel
Women) is a non-profit organization of approximately 2000 human resource executives, managers and
professionals who are committed to the advancement and development of HR. Our affiliates, nationwide,
support and encourage learning, knowledge, and pro active approaches to HR management through
programs and publications. The organization has been serving the human resources profession since
1951.
Kathy Goloven, Conference Program Chair, will be contacting your office with information in the next
few weeks. If you have any immediate questions, please feel free to call me at 203-794-9249. Your
support and participation are appreciated.

Mr. Mike Lux
Special Assistant to the President
White House
Washington, DC
Dear Mike:
I appreciate your call and offer of assistance. I've mentioned the idea of a seminar on health care reform to executives at
Lakeshore and ReLife, and they are excited by the possibilities.
What we are proposing is a one-half day seminar this spring. The meeting would feature a top Administration official (such as
Ira Magaziner) as the key note speaker. We hope that he would present the Clinton Health Plan, with a particular emphasis on
its relationship to rehabilitation.
We envision an audience of approximately 300 people to be drawn from across the state. Specifically physicians, health care
administrators, business leaders, local and state officials and dignitaries might be invited to attend. Obviously, we would be
guided by the Administration's past experience with this type of event as we iron out the details.
We believe an event of this kind in Birmingham would be particularly enlightening and beneficial to the Administration. Our city
is rapidly becoming known as the health care headquarters of the South. Health services is the city's fastest growing industry
and employs 9.4 percent of Birmingham's total work force, a number that exceeds the national average and that of growing cities
such as Atlanta, Miami and Orlando. Birmingham companies and institutions are national leaders in the areas of medical
services, research, technology and education.
We are also fortunate to have the new Medical Forum in our city, which might provide the perfect location for an event of this
kind. The Medical Forum is one of the nation's bast equipped sites for continuing medical education. Equipped for
teleconferencing with satellite up and down-link capabilities, the facility is able to host meetings that can be heard around the
world.
Under separate cover you will be receiving a packet of information on Lakeshore and ReLife that might provide useful
background as you share these ideas with your colleagues.
Mike, please share this information with appropriate Administration officials and I will call you to determine the next step. In the
meantime, if ycu need clarification or any additional information, please let me know.

understand the goals of the Clinton administration's health care package and the reasons
for them. Such understanding is not only beneficial to your mission, but to ours as well.
Please accept our sincere gratitude for your consideration. Feel free to call on us in the

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
We would like to invite you to be the keynote speaker at a symposium
celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Floating Hospital for Children at
New England Medical Center.
The Floating Hospital has a wonderful and rich history in Boston. It began
as a charity ship in Boston Harbor carrying a cargo of sick children and
thdr indigent mothers on day-long outings at sea. At the time, it was
believed that the ocean air in the summertime would have therapeutic value
for the children, many of whom wen: suffering from illnesses exacerbated
by lack of pasteurization and rcfrigemtion.
The hospital has manyfirsts.It was the place where live-in or overaight
facilities for the parents of sick children werefirstintroduced. Now, this
practice is commonplace throughout the country. Similac, the widely used
infant formula, was developed at the Floating.
Looking forward to modemtimes,in December surgeons at the Floating
Hospital were able to close a hole in an 11-year-old girl's heart using a new,
minimally invasive technique which allowed her to go home later that day.
She did not have to undergo extensive surgery and a long hospital stay. The
Floating is also home to the first regional pediatric trauma institute in the
United States and the world. This institute has revolutionized the way
physicians treat child victims of severe accidents and trauma. Children from
all over New England are airlifted to this facility.
The symposium we are planning would focus on the effect of health care
refonn on children - a subject we know is near to your heart. After your
talk, we would ask several child health experts to discuss this issue, perhaps

Informatio
About The Roaring Hospital for Children
at New England Medical Center
The Floating Hospital for Children is rhe
pediatric hospital of New England Medical
Center in Boston. It provides high quality,
personalized care to children - from
nwwborn babies to young adults - in an
environment specially designed to meet their
needs. It also serves die community as a
pediatric teaching institution and a pediatric
research center.
As its name suggests, the Floating Hospital
began in 1894 as a hospital ship. At lirst it
gave indigent mothers and their sick babies
relief from the summer heat, and then
quickly grew into a center specializing in the
care of children. It relocated on land in 1931
after the ship was destroyed in a fire. The
Floating Hospital moved into a new building
at 755 Wswhington Street in 1982, and will
celebrate ils centennial in 1994.
Full range ofsewices
The modern, 129-bed Floating Hospital for
Children offers a full i-ange of inpatient and
outpatient services in every area of medical
specialization.
Services of the Floating Hospital include a
Iwel III neonatal intensive care unit, a
pediatric intensive care unit tor older infant?
and children, an infant special care unit,
three units lor older children, a pediatric
cancer center, an advanced cardiac
cathclcri/.ation laboratory, and a magnetic
resonance imaging scanner. Critically ill
babies and children can be brought to the
Floating I lospital by a transport team
dispatched to outlying hospitals by
ambulance or helicopter. The Floating
Hospital is also home to the Kiwani.% Pediatric
Trauma Instimte, the lirst regional trauma
center for children in the United States. This
service: offers state-of-the-an care for children
who have suffered severe head or body
trauma from accidents or injury.
The Floating Hospital has made substantial
contributions to our basic knowledge of
childhood diseases through its research
programs. During the early 1900s, physicians
of tlie Floating Hospital developed an infant
formula - known t<>day as Similac - which is
used to nourish millions of infants worldwide.
Caringfor 'whole child'
The Floating Hospital has pioneered the
concept of caring for the 'whole child' and of
family participation in the carcgiving process
rather than simply treating the child's illness.
Nursing care at the Floaung I lospital is based
on the primary nursing model; each child has
a primary nurse who coordinates nursing
care, educate* parents about the child's care,
and assists with discharge planning.
The Floating Hospital for Children has
attracted nationally respected doctors who
are cominitted to providing an integrated,
interdisciplinary approach to the diagnosis
and care of children with complicated
diseases. All ftill-iimc physicians at Uie
Floaung Hospital hold faculty appointments
at Tufts University School of Medicine, for
which New England Medical Center is the
principal teaching hospital.
1 located near the Boston's downtown, the
Floating I lospital is adjacent to the Theater
Distric t and Chinatown. It is easily accessible
from the Mass Pike (1-90), Rio. 93, the

�(Draft of A r t i c l e on Health Security Act)
Head: " H i l l a r y Rodham Clinton Responds to Boston Senior Home Care
Questions Concerning the new Health Security Plan"
H i l l a r y Rodham Clinton provided the following information on
the new Health Security Plan that the Administration has proposed
for providing health coverage to a l l Americans.
BSHC: Why is it necessary
to have a National Health Care P lan?
HRC: Under our present arrangement in the U.S. for health care, one in four Americans
does not have health coverage, insurance companies can choose who they want to cover and
when they want to cease coverage, health costs are skyrocketing, and a considerable amount
of our outlay for health care is lost because of abuse and bureaucracy in the present health
care system.
BSHC: What are the principles
on which the Plan is
HRC: The Plan is based on the following principles:
.Guaranteed comprehensive benefits,
.Simplied eligibility and claim procedures,
.Preservation of care options, and
.Control of health costs.
based?
BSHC: How exactly w i l l coverage be supplied under the Plan?
HRC: Everyone will be able to select from at least three plans which will be set up and
regulated by health alliances in the state in which the person resides:
(1) a low cost sharing plan which will have the lowest monthly copayment but allows
for the least physician choice on the part of the insured. Under this plan, the
participant has fiill coverage for inpatient hospital stays and outpatient laboratory work,
pays a lower charge for doctors visits and hospital outpatient treatment, and pays a
minimum charge for each prescription drug.
(2) a high cost sharing plan which provides the maximum physician choice but also
requires higher payments or copayments for inpatient and outpatient hospital treatment,
laboratory work, doctors visits, prescription drugs, and other services.
(3) a third plan which falls between the other two in terms of cost, physician choice,
and payment for services.
BSHC: How are these health alliances
established
and
supervised?
HRC: The federal government will set up a national health board to set standards and insure
that everyone receives comprehensive benefits and quality care. State governments will set up
health alliances so that everyone has a choice of at least three high quality, effective, and
cost efficient health plans.
BSHC: Will elders everyone have to pay to participate
in the Plan?
HRC: All Americans with incomes above 150% of poverty will be required to share in the
cost of the program. It is expected that most Americans will not have to pay much more than
they are paying now for health care and all Americans will be covered by the Plan.
�BSHC: Will elders have a choice under the program?
HRC: Consumer choice will be emphasized, not just in choosing among health plans but
also in care plans developed for each individual.
BSHC: How are elders who are on Medicaid and Medicare
covered?
HRC: People on Medicaid choose a plan through the regional health alliance. People on
Medicare would continue using Medicare. People who tum 65 after the Plan is in place
have their choice of remaining in their health plan or choosing Medicare.
BSHC: Which elders are e l i g i b l e to receive long term community
based care benefits?
HRC: Eligibility would be based on three principal definitions of severe disability:
.need for assistance in at least two activities of daily living (ADL's),
.severe cognitive or mental impairment, and
.severe and profound mental retardation.
BSHC: What services w i l l be available to those who meet one or more
of these c r i t e r i a ?
HRC: Benefits would be tailored to particular needs and could include any of the following:
personal care, adult day care, respite, rehabilitation, and care in a residential setting.
BSHC: How will the National Health Care Plan be paid for?
HRC: The Plan will be financed in five ways: (1) through contributions by all participants
in the Plan who do not have their health care paid for by their employer, (2) through less
duplication and bureaucracy in the Medicaid and Medicare programs, (2) by lowering the cost
for providing health insurance to federal employees for which all taxpayers pay, (3) by
reducing the growth of the unregulated health insurance industry which affects our health costs,
and (4) though taxes on some "sin" items such as tobacco.
BSHC: How can elders influence the proposed plan as i t proceeds
through the l e g i s l a t i v e process?
HRC: They can call their Senators/Representatives or the White House Health Security "hot
line" at xxx-xxx-xxxx.

CARE
A Newsletter from Boston Senior Home Care • Autumn 1993
A Message
from the
Executive D i r e c t o r
Boston Senior Home Care
(BSHC) serves a richly diverse
population of elders, many of
whom speak a language other
than English and have service
needs influenced by their
cultures and ethnicity.
We believe we can best
serve these elders by employing
an ethnically and racially diverse
staff and by providing services
which respond to their cultural
preferences. Thus, BSHC employs African American and
bilingual Chinese, Vietnamese,
Haitian, Hispanic, and Italian
case managers whose responsibilities include reaching out to
elders not aware of our services
so they can remain safely at
home.
Our efforts to serve these
elders take many forms. Our
Multicultural Outreach Committee insures that agency literature
is translated into languages
spoken in our service area.
Our weekly cable TV program
(see article on this page) already
has featured our Spanish and
Italian speaking case managers.
And we are expanding our
capacity to provide a multiplicity
of ethnic home delivered meals.
Through referrals from
neighbors, clergy, and others,
we can assist elders who need
home care services. We welcome your suggestions and
help in reaching elders.

Boston Senior Home Care
Hosts TV Show to
Publicize Services for Elders
W
hat is informative and entertaining on television on Tuesday
afternoon? Geraldo?...Oprah?... "The Bold and The Beautiful"?
Well, maybe. But Boston Senior Home Care can offer something
else: each Tuesday afternoon from 2:30-3:00 Boston Senior Home Care hosts a
live, interactive call in show on Boston Neighborhood Network TV's Channel
24, "The Answer Channel". Each program is devoted to presenting a subject of
interest to elders and people who care for them—subjects such as what services
are available to elders in the community, the procedure by which elders are
screened for admission to nursing homes, how to obtain assistance for elders
who are abused or financially exploited, what programs exist in Boston for
non-English speaking elders, and other topics. Listeners call in with any
questions they might have about services for elders. Check out "The Answer
Channel." And call 973-4848 during the show to get the answers you need
concerning programs for older people.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mrs. C l i n t o n :
I would be honored t o have you p a r t i c i p a t e w i t h me i n an
event t h a t w i l l c a l l n a t i o n a l a t t e n t i o n t o the HIV/AIDS epidemic
among women, c h i l d r e n and adolescents i n the United States. The
t a r g e t date f o r t h i s event i s a day f a l l i n g w i t h i n the twelveday Congressional d i s t r i c t work period. May 27 through June 0 1 ,
1994. I t w i l l take place a t the Bronx Lebanon H o s p i t a l i n the
South Bronx, New York.
This event w i l l h i g h l i g h t the trends of the p e d i a t r i c and
adolescent HIV/AIDS epidemic, pediatric-HIV care programs a t

f o r helping t o curb t h i s c r i s i s . I also plan t o introduce new
l e g i s l a t i o n t o amend the Ryan White CARE Act as i t r e l a t e s t o
p e d i a t r i c and adolescent HIV care services. Your p a r t i c i p a t i o n
at t h i s event would lend the growing epidemic of p e d i a t r i c and
adolescent AIDS' the n a t i o n a l a t t e n t i o n i t so r i g h t l y deserves.
The South Bronx has the dubious d i s t i n c t i o n of being the
best place i n the nation t o i l l u s t r a t e the depth of t h i s
epidemic. My Congressional d i s t r i c t of the South Bronx has the
highest r a t e o f HIV seroprevalence among newborns i n the e n t i r e
country, and 3 0 percent of a l l reported cases i n New York C i t y .
By the end o f 1992, 1,161 p e d i a t r i c AIDS cases had been reported
i n New York State alone, representing more than a q u a r t e r o f a l l
p e d i a t r i c cases reported i n the U.S. I n the U.S., 4,906 c h i l d r e n
aged 13 and younger have developed AIDS as of 3 0 September 1993,
w i t h an estimated 20,000 or more c h i l d r e n i n f e c t e d w i t h HIV
nationwide. Over 80 percent of the nation's reported p e d i a t r i c
AIDS cases are among African-American and Hispanic c h i l d r e n .
Also, w i t h i n the next month I w i l l introduce a J o i n t
Resolution o f Congress proclaiming the week of May 30, 19 94 as
" P e d i a t r i c and Adolescent AIDS Awareness Week."

We would like to invite you as Keynote Speaker" for our annual convention in Las
Vegas, Nevada. The days are April 29th, 30th and May 1st, 1994. If you can speak to
our group we can accommodate you on any of these dates.
At our meeting we plan to announce our support for the Clinton health plan basics and
to go one step further. We feel that with a health care crisis, physicians must participate
in cost savings.
Our group will annquni^supgort for a voluntary rollback in all Emergency Physician's,
fees of 5 effective immediately.Tin addition, we will promise to freeze these reduced
%
fees for a period of five years.
We hope you can speak at our meeting an be present at our announcement of cost
reductions. We believe Physicians must participate in cost-savings in such direct ways.

Town Hall has played a major role in this community since 1937 as a nonprofit and
nonpartisan forum for the discussion of public issues. Our membership of several
thousand represents great strength in business, the professions, academia,
government, the media and the arts. We also inform a large audience outside our
membership through our extensive media outreach with our Town Hall Journal and
national weekly radio broadcast, "Town Hall on the Air," and frequent coverage by
C-SPAN and other major news outlets. Most importantly, we are firmly convinced
that knowledge of international and national issues in today's world is not merely a
social or intellectual asset - it is essential.

March 2, 1994
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
Like you and President Clinton, the Center for Policy Alternatives has long been committed to policy
initiatives that better enable Americans to balance work and family. We applaud the President's demonstrated
leadership in the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act. But more can be done to help working parents
manage their dual responsibilities. We write to encourage you to consider the advantages of paid family and
medical leave and its incorporation into the President's proposed Health Security Act as part of State Health
Care Access Initiatives. Your interest in the paid leave concept would be very helpful as we work to support
health care reform efforts on the Hill.
Paid family and medical leave is essential to traditionally underserved working families which are now
furthest removed from the health care system. For these families, paid leave can eliminate a critical remaining
barrier to health care— loss of personal income. Though many workers can now take unpaid leave without fear
of losing their jobs, many will not because they cannot afford to lose a day's pay. They will postpone seeking
medical attention for themselves or family members until treatment is urgent. Removal of this financial barrier
to health care would give working parents the opportunity to address family health concerns when they first
arise, reducing the need for expensive, tertiary care. Paid leave reinforces the President's broader commitment
to personal responsibility and his message of making work pay. Through work, parents, rather than agencies,
can take responsibility for acquainting themselves and their families with the health care system and ensuring
continued access.
The Hawaii Medical Journal recently told of a young, single mother who developed status asthmaticus
and was hospitalized because she was unable to obtain a $10 medication. Status asthmaticus is a serious
condition which results when a person with asthma fails to take daily medication. Hawaii has near universal
health care coverage for its citizens, so this young woman did not lack health insurance or access to medical
attention. But she could not afford to miss a day's work. Because it does not provide wage replacement, the
Family and Medical Leave Act does not respond to her needs. Like this young mother, people will continue to
require expensive, tertiary care until they can truly afford to seek preventative care.
V
In the spirit of long-term vision and experimentation that has become a hallmark of the President's
administration, we urge you to consider the advantages of paid family and medical leave. We would like to
meet with appropriate persons on your staff to discuss this important issue along with our proposal fbr its
placement in the President's Health Security Act.

�ADVANTAGES OF UNITING PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL L E A V E WITH
THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSED HEALTH SECURITY ACT
© Paid Leave Will Increase Access to Health Care by eliminating the greatest barrier to health careloss of personal income. Many workers today are confronted with a financial barrier to seeking health
care for themselves and their families. Workers are forced to choose between health and income. In
the short-run, the need to receive income often prevails. Medical attention and treatment is postponed
until it becomes urgent. Therefore, by removing the financial obstacle to health care, paid leave will
increase access and encourage individual responsibility for health maintenance.
© Paid Leave Will Reduce Long-term Public Expenses by encouraging primary health care and early
treatment. By eliminating financial barriers to health care, states can ensure that individuals are fully
able to seek primary medical treatment. Medical conditions are more likely to be detected early and
treated at a lesser cost.
© Paid Leave Reinforces the President's Commitment to Personal Responsibility and His Message
of Making Work Pay. Only working parents will receive wage replacement for family and medical
leave-- a form of compensation for their active participation in health care maintenance. Through work,
they will have the opportunity to care for their family's health care needs. They will take responsibility
for acquainting themselves and their families to the health care system and ensuring continued access.
© Paid Leave May Reduce Short-term Public Expenses by cutting the number and cost of projects
needed to reach traditionally disadvantaged groups. The President's proposed Health Security Act
requires state health plans to provide assistance and financial incentives in order to expand into
hard-to-reach populations. Examples of some of the problems addressed by the special assistance and
incentives provisions are the supply of providers and health plans in both rural and low-income urban
areas, poor integration and coordination of care between primary care and specialized services, cultural
and linguistic barriers, transportation, lack of understanding among consumers about the availability of
services, and resistance to the use of services. States that enact paid family and medical leave could
solve many of the problems of access by utilizing the existing unpaid leave framework provided by the
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). States would need only implement a mechanism for providing
wage replacement. For several reasons, individual responsibility through paid leave is preferable to
social services and public outreach.
© Paid Leave Will Avoid Preemption by the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act
(ERISA) as a state Health Care Access Initiative. ERISA preempts all state laws that "relate to"
employee benefit plans. With few exceptions, the proposed Health Security Act specifically exempts
from ERISA preemption state laws that relate to health benefits. Only large companies that establish
separate health care plans will be subject to ERISA preemption under the proposed Act. State and
regional health alliances are exempt from ERISA preemption.
© Federal Funding of Paid Leave Will Minimize Traditional Business Opposition by redirecting
some of the costs of paid leave away from employers. As a Health Care Access Initiative under the
proposed Health Security Act, states could receive federal funds for paid leave.

�SUMMARY SHEET
This package contains five important work products on paid family and medical leave.
Two are charts-- one outlining the three best options for paid leave and the other listing the
advantages and disadvantages of all options considered in our survey. Both are particularly
helpful to quickly review the basic points covered in the accompanying papers.
The following three papers are included:
* Increasing Access to Health Care with Paid Family and Medical Leave: The
Health Security Act Option. The two major goals of health care reform in America are
to increase access to health care and reduce domestic health care expenditures. Both can
be accomplished by uniting paid leave and health care reform. By providing wage
replacement to medically underserved workers, paid leave ensures that these workers and
their families are included in the health care system at the earliest possible stage. Money
may be saved by encouraging preventive medicine and reducing the need for tertiary care.
Individual responsibility can replace more expensive welfare services.
The paper discusses:
* the advantages and disadvantages of connecting paid leave to health care reform
* the shortcomings of Representative Cooper's health care proposal
* financing
If a state is unable to enact a paid leave proposal as part of its health care reform
package, the state is encouraged to consider other alternatives:
* Other Attractive Alternatives for Paid Leave: The Temporary Disability
Insurance and Unemployment Insurance Options. A state that wishes to enact paid
family and medical leave programs must overcome two major obstacles- the state must
avoid preemption under ERISA and confront the political challenges facing paid leave as
a stand-alone proposal. The TDI and UI options provide the best alternatives to the
Health Security Act Option. Five states and Puerto Rico manage successful TDI
programs, which provide partial wage replacement to workers for non-job related
disabilities, and Canada furnishes a form of paid leave to mothers using a UI model.
Included in the paper are:
* the advantages and disadvantages of each option
* the estimated cost of paid leave
* Structuring a Paid Family and Medical Leave Bill for States to Avoid Preemption
under ERISA. This foundational piece examines the intricacies of ERISA and proposes
a number of alternatives based upon the need to avoid preemption. The options are then
ranked in terms of their political viability. The three most promising options are detailed
above. Most of the information from this memorandum is summarized in the chart
entitled, "Chart of Options."

�INCREASING ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE WITH
PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE:
THE HEALTH SECURITY ACT OPTION
In his address to Congress on September 22, 1993, President Bill Clinton announced his
plan to create a system of security for Americans based on universal health coverage. At
H
present, [m]illions of Americans are just a pink slip away from losing their health insurance,
and one serious illness away from losing their savings." Equally alarming is domestic spending
in health care, which consumes 14 percent of the gross domestic product and is expected to reach
a whopping 19 percent by the year 2000. Therefore, the two major goals of health care reform
in America are to provide universal access to health care and reduce domestic health care
expenditures.
Paid family and medical leave can help increase access to adequate health care and may
even save money. Paid leave would provide job protection and wage replacement to working
men and women during temporary periods of non-occupational disability, including personal
injury or sickness, pregnancy, and care for a new child or sick family member. Paid family and
medical leave programs would enable states to overcome the greatest obstacle to personal health
care access-- loss of income. By granting wage replacement to workers during temporary
periods of family need, workers will not suffer a loss of personal income. Workers can pursue
treatment for themselves and for family members at an earlier stage of disability and reduce the
amount of money spent by government on expensive, tertiary care.
This paper addresses three major issues. First, this paper discusses the advantages of
uniting paid family and medical leave and health care reform. Though the advantages are
outlined within the context of the President's proposed Health Security Act, they are broadly
applicable to any health care reform proposal. Second, this paper considers the disadvantages
of connecting paid leave to the President's proposed Health Security Act. Included in this section
is a general critique of Representative Cooper's health care reform alternative. Finally, this
paper attempts to confront the issue of cost.

�I. THE ADVANTAGES OF CONNECTING PAID LEAVE TO
HEALTH CARE REFORM
Under the President's proposed Health Security Act, a state may fund paid family and
medical leave through federal funds set aside for State Health Care Access Initiatives. The
purpose of the initiatives is to eradicate major financial and non-financial barriers to health care
1
that confront America's underserved populations. Paid leave qualifies as a Health Care Access
Initiative since it eliminates the major financial barrier to health care-- loss of personal income.
By removing the major financial barrier to health care access, paid leave will increase the level
of individual responsibility for health care coverage and reduce public expenditures on health
care. Under the proposed Health Security Act, paid leave will also avoid preemption under
ERISA.
A. PAID LEAVE INCREASES ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE
Most workers today are confronted with afinancialbarrier to seeking health care for
themselves and their families. Workers are forced to choose between health and income. In the
short-run, the need to receive income often prevails. Medical attention and treatment are
postponed until they become urgent. Therefore, by removing the financial obstacle to health
care, paid leave will increase access and encourage individual responsibility for health
maintenance.
For example, the Hawaii Medical Journal recently told of a young, single mother who
developed status asthmaticus and was hospitalized because she was unable to obtain a $10
medication. Status asthmaticus is a serious condition, which results when a person with asthma
fails to take daily medication. Hawaii has near universal health care coverage for its citizens.
Therefore, the problem that this single mother faced was not lack of health care insurance or
access to medical attention, but low income. She could not afford to miss a day's work. She

The term "medically underserved population" is defined by 42 USC § 254c(b)(3) of the Public Health Service
Act as a rural or urban population designated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services as an area with a
shortage of personal health services. Factors considered by the Secretary include comments from state officials,
infant mortality, access, and ability to pay. Designation is quite discretionary. The Secretary may designate a
medically underserved population that does not meet established criteria.

�needed every cent of her income to take care of herself and her children. Moreover, the Family
and Medical Leave Act does not respond to her needs because it does not provide wage
replacement. Like this young woman, people will continue to require expensive, tertiary care
until they can truly afford to seek early or preventative treatment.
B. PAID LEAVE WILL REDUCE LONG-TERM HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES
As evident by the example of the young mother above, paid family and medical leave will
reduce the financial burden of medical care on government. In the long-run, by eliminating the
major financial barrier to health care, government ensures that individuals can seek primary
medical treatment. Therefore, medical conditions are more likely to be detected early and treated
at a lesser cost.
C. PAID LEAVE REINFORCES THE PRESIDENT'S COMMITMENT TO PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY AND HIS MESSAGE OF MAKING WORK PAY
Paid family and medical leave reinforces the President's broader commitment to personal
responsibility and independence, and his message of making work pay. Only working parents
will receive wage replacement for family and medical leave- a form of compensation for their
active participation in health care maintenance. Through work, they will have the opportunity
to care for their family's health care needs. They will take responsibility for acquainting
themselves and their families to the health care system and ensuring continued access.
D. PAID LEAVE MAY REDUCE SHORT-TERM PUBLIC EXPENSES
Paid family and medical leave may save money in the short-run by cutting the number
and expense of projects needed to reach traditionally disadvantaged groups. The proposed Heath
Security Act requires state health plans to provide assistance and financial incentives in order to
expand into hard-to-reach populations. (§ 1203(e)(3)(B). Examples of some of the problems
addressed by the special assistance and incentives provisions are the supply of providers and

�use of services (Subtitle E). The proposed Health Security Act authorizes an additional $1.35
billion for fiscal 1995, and $10.55 billion through 2000 to states in order to fund these special
services.
States that enact paid family and medical leave could solve many of the problems of
access by utilizing the existing unpaid leave framework provided by the Family and Medical
2
Leave Act (FMLA). States would only need to implement a mechanism for providing wage
replacement. Moreover, many of the listed social services and public outreach programs will
be unnecessary since working parents will have the ability to take individual responsibility for
family health care needs.
E. PAID LEAVE WELL AVOID PREEMPTION UNDER ERISA
The Employee Retirement and Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal statute that
preempts all state laws that "relate to" employee benefit plans. With few exceptions, the
proposed Health Security Act specifically exempts from preemption under ERISA state laws that
relate to health care benefits. Only large companies that establish separate health care plans will
be subject to ERISA preemption (§§ 1392, 1393). State and regional health alliances are exempt
from ERISA preemption under the proposed Health Security Act.
F. FEDERAL FUNDING WILL MINIMIZE TRADITIONAL BUSINESS OPPOSITION
Under the proposed Health Security Act, states will receive federal funds for programs
that increase the access of underserved populations to health care. Since state paid leave
programs that target the underserved will be eligible to receive federal funds, the proposed
Health Security Act will minimize traditional business opposition by redirecting some of the costs
of paid leave away from employers.

FMLA currently enables some workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid family and medical leave. It also
provides a job-back guarantee.

�n . THE DISADVANTAGES TO CONNECTING PAID LEAVE TO THE
PROPOSED HEALTH SECURITY ACT
There are two basic disadvantages to uniting paid family and medical leave and health
care reform. First, the proposed Health Security Act will not provide federal funds for
comprehensive paid leave programs in states. Second, numerous alternatives have been offered
to the President's proposed Health Security Act. Representative Cooper's plan recently received
the endorsement of an independent commission on health care reform. However, the Cooper
Plan will not give federal funds to states wishing to implement paid family and medical leave
programs.
A.
STATES WILL ONLY RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR PAID LEAVE
PROGRAMS THAT TARGET THE MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED
Under the proposed Health Security Act, the federal government will only provide
additional funds to states that address problems associated with underserved populations. If a
state wants to provide paid leave for all workers, it would have to raise additional revenues of
its own to cover populations that are not medically underserved.
B. THE PROPOSED HEALTH SECURITY ACT MUST COMPETE WITH OTHER
ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVES
The President's proposed Health Security Act has been criticized for its bureaucratic
complexity and cost. Congressional leaders have suggested a number of alternatives. Among
the alternatives, Representative Cooper's proposal (H.R. 3222) appears to be gaining support
among health care reform advocates. However, in order to reduce cost, the Cooper Plan does
not guarantee universal coverage and eliminates state health care access initiatives that would
provide federal funds for paid family and medical leave.
The Cooper Plan expresses the desire to provide universal access and improve health care
coverage of low-income individuals (§ 2). The Cooper Plan furnishes federal funds to match
state funds paid to health providers serving medically underserved populations (§ 1402).
However, states would have to finance at least half of their paid leave program, if paid leave is
even possible under the Plan. In the section outlining the kinds of federal support available to
CENTER FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES
8
HSA Option
�underserved areas, no room is left for paid leave (§ 1411). Moreover, state action to provide
paid family and medical leave may be limited by the preemptive effects of the Employee
Retirement and Income Security Act (ERISA). State health care initiatives are not exempted
from ERISA under the Cooper Plan (§ 1601). Finally, though special assistance is available for
very low-income individuals, none of the listed services would allow for paid leave (§ 2004).
ra. COST
A. THE PRESIDENT'S PROPOSED HEALTH SECURITY ACT
One of the distinct advantages of the President's proposed Health Security Act is the
allocation of federal funds for State Health Care Access Initiatives, such as paid family and
medical leave. Over $10 billion through the year 2000 has been allotted to State Health Care
Access Initiatives alone. Therefore, paid leave as a State Health Care Access Initiative will be
financed as a part of the President's health care reform package. However, if the final version
of the President's Health Security Act or some other proposal eliminates federal funds for State
Health Care Access Initiatives, states will have to finance paid leave themselves. A discussion
of the cost of state funded paid leave options can be found in the next paper entitled, "Other
Attractive Alternatives for Paid Family and Medical Leave."
The President plans to finance health care reform by a 75 cents per pack tax on cigarettes,
and by employer and individual contributions. Employers will pay 80 percent of the premiums.
Individuals will pay the rest, unless 20 percent of the cost of the premium constitutes more than
3.9 percent of their income. Low-income and unemployed individuals will be subsidized by the
government.
Government and business will save money with health care reform. Because premiums
will go directly to health care alliances, which choose insurance providers, rather than to the
insurance companies themselves, premiums are expected to stay low. Business and government
will be able to provide greater health care benefits to individuals for less money than is currently
being spent. Furthermore, states will save even more money as providers, since risks will be
spread among all citizens and residents, and money will no longer need to be spent on the
uninsured.

�B. HAWAII'S PREPAID HEALTH CARE ACT
Hawaii provides health care coverage to over 95 percent of its population. All employers
must provide health insurance to their employees. Hawaii also has a state health insurance
program to cover the unemployed and self-employed up to 300 percent of the federal poverty
level. Moreover, Hawaii has achieved near universal access without excessive costs. In 1988,
Hawaii spent 8.1 percent of the gross state product on health care expenditures, which is about
$1,700 per capita. This was one-third less than the United States as a whole, and lower than
Canada, the Netherlands, and Germany.
Moreover, Hawaii maintains a temporary disability insurance (TDI) program, which
enables workers to receive wage replacement for non-occupational injuries. The TDI program
is funded by employers and employees, and can be amended to include parental and family
3
leave. Therefore, though the cost of uniting paid leave and health care reform is uncertain,
Hawaii points to its viability.
IV. CONCLUSION
Paid family and medical leave is an essential element of health security. By providing
wage replacement to medically underserved workers, paid leave ensures that these workers and
their families are included in the health care system at the earliest possible stage. Money may
be saved by encouraging preventive medicine and reducing the need for tertiary care. Individual
responsibility can replace more expensive welfare services.

�OTHER ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVES FOR PAID LEAVE:
THE TEMPORARY DISABILITY INSURANCE AND
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE OPTIONS
If the federal government eliminates federal funding for State Health Care Access
Initiatives, or worse, subjects state health care reform packages to preemption under the
Employee Retirement and Income Security Act (ERISA), states may wish to consider the
advantages of connecting paid family and medical leave to existing state programs. This paper
examines the two most attractive alternatives to uniting paid leave and health care reform- the
temporary disability insurance and unemployment insurance options. The paper discusses the
advantages and disadvantages of each option, and attempts to address the question of financing.
A state desirous of enacting a paid family and medical leave law faces two major
challenges. First, the state must avoid preemption of its paid leave law by ERISA. ERISA
preempts all state laws that "relate to" employee benefit plans. Therefore, the state must
construct paid leave laws that take advantage of explicit exceptions to ERISA preemption.
Examples of these exceptions include explicit federal exemptions as provided in the proposed
Health Security Act and the general exclusion of unemployment and disability insurance laws
from ERISA coverage.
Second, the state must confront political obstacles that block progress on paid family and
medical leave laws as stand-alone proposals. Business generally views paid leave as an onerous
financial and administrative burden. Public interest groups often resent paid leave for competing
with their own political agendas. Therefore, it is in the interest of the state to mold paid leave
into a proposal that improves upon pre-existing legislation. Paid leave can compliment and
strengthen many state and federal programs that address issues of family, health, and job
security.
I . THE TEMPORARY DISABILITY INSURANCE OPTION
A state can provide paid family and medical leave using temporary disability insurance
(TDI) law as a model. The only change required to existing state TDI laws is expanding the
definition of "disability" to include personal and family medical circumstances.
CENTER FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES
14
TDI and VI Options
�A. THE ADVANTAGES OF THE TDI OPTION
Employee benefit plans created to comply with a change in the disability insurance law
will not be preempted by ERISA. Section 4(b) of ERISA exempts from preemption state laws
that "relate to" any employee benefit plan when the plan is created solely to comply with
disability insurance, workers' compensation, or insurance compensation laws.
Five states (California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island) and Puerto
Rico currently run successful TDI programs, which provide partial wage replacement for
non-occupational disabilities. Moreover, states that have considered providing paid family and
medical leave in the past have most often embraced the TDI option as the least objectionable to
business and the least administratively complex. In California and Rhode Island, employers are
not required to contribute to TDI funds. Employees fund most of the TDI benefits, all plans are
run without a large bureaucracy, and all are financially self-supporting. Finally, though current
TDI laws do not provide workers with a job-back guarantee, such a guarantee is now furnished
by the Family Medical Leave Act.
B. THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE TDI OPTION
On the down-side, states interested in this option must consider the Supreme Court's
1
recent holding in Washington Board of Trade. The Court held that ERISA preempted a portion
of the D.C. workers' compensation law, which required employers to continue to provide health
care benefits for employees eligible for workers' compensation. The Court's decision suggests
that once a state law is found to "relate to" an employee benefit plan covered by ERISA, section
4(b) exemptions will not protect the state law from preemption. Therefore, the Court could rule
that the expansion of TDI laws "relates to" an employee benefit plan and is preempted by
ERISA, even though the state is acting in an area of exclusive state control, disability insurance
law.
1
A legal discussion of this case can be found in the succeeding memo entitled, "Structuring
a Paid Family and Medical Leave Bill for States to Avoid Preemption under ERISA."
CENTER FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES
15
TDI and UI Options
�I I . THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE OPTION
This option, like the temporary disability insurance option, avoids ERISA preemption
through a section 4(b) exemption. A state can amend its unemployment insurance (UI) laws to
include paid leave. A state can define "unemployment" to include periods of time in which a
worker is temporarily unwilling or unable to work due to personal or family circumstances.
Currently in the U.S., unemployment insurance is available only to those workers who are
willing and able to work.
A. THE ADVANTAGES OF THE UI OPTION
First, Canada provides a successful UI model for states. Canada's UI program furnishes
paid family and medical leave to women. Coverage includes pregnancy and early infant care,
but does not include extended child care or care for a sick spouse or adult family member. Men
are only eligible for paid leave if the mother is dead or disabled. Canada's UI program is funded
by employee and employer contributions.
Second, the UI option supplies a facile way for states to encourage federal action. States
could press Congress to amend the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), which outlines the
requirements that states must meet in order to receive federal tax credit for state unemployment
programs. Within the next year, Congress is expected to begin reviewing and revamping the
entire federal unemployment system, which may provide a window of opportunity to address the
issue of paid leave.
B. THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE UI OPTION
The problems associated with the unemployment insurance option are the possible adverse
effects on collective bargaining, its emphatic rejection by the labor community, and the
complexity of the federal-state system.
III. COSTS OF PAH) LEAVE
No state has passed paid family and medical leave legislation. However, Puerto Rico
provides wage replacement for pregnancy as part of its TDI laws and Canada grants paid leave
as part of its unemployment insurance program. A few states have also studied paid leave
proposals. Therefore, while there is little direct experience with paid family and medical leave
in the United States, there are several studies that show that paid leave is financially manageable
CENTER FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES
16
TDI and UI Options
�and profitable.
States with TDI laws that provide wage replacement for non-occupational, employee
injuries, including New York and California, fund their programs with less than one percent of
a worker's yearly wages. In California and Rhode Island, employers do not even contribute to
TDI wage replacement.
In 1990, Governor Mario M. Cuomo funded research on paid family and medical leave.
Researchers concluded that by simply increasing the contribution of workers to the TDI fund by
15 cents, for a total of not more than 75 cents a week, and charging employers 15 cents a week,
New York could afford paid family leave. The total annual cost of paid family and medical leave
was estimated to be $73.56 million.
This figure should be compared to a 1989 General Accounting Office study, which found
that an estimated 11.4 million women and 8.5 million men are off the job for more than 50 hours
annually due to personal or family disability or illness. These workers lose an estimated $100
billion annually in personal income because of these important family concerns. The $100 billion
does not even include those who have lost their jobs due to personal or family infirmities. Eight
billion dollars is billed to taxpayers, who must pay for governmental assistance and supplemental
income.
IV. CONCLUSION
States can afford paid family and medical leave.
TDI and UI programs are run
successfully without federal funds and can easily be expanded to cover paid leave.

�STRUCTURING A PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE BILL FOR
STATES TO AVOID PREEMPTION UNDER ERISA
Paid family and medical leave would provide job protection and wage replacement to
working men and women during temporary periods of nonoccupational disability, including
personal injury or sickness, pregnancy, and care for a new child or sick family member. In
structuring paid leave for states, the law must avoid preemption under the Employee Retirement
1
Income and Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) . Section 514(a) of ERISA preempts any state law
that "relates to" an employee benefit plan.
This memorandum has two parts. Part I examines the provisions of ERISA. Part II
discusses judicial decisions that interpret preemption under ERISA and offers a number of
legislative alternatives for states to avoid preemption. The alternatives in Part II are presented
in order of political feasibility. In reading Part II, it will be helpful to consult the attached chart
of options.
I . THE PREEMPTIVE EFFECT OF ERISA
A. WHAT WAS CONGRESS THINKING WHEN IT PASSED ERISA?
In passing ERISA, Congress attempted to replace piecemeal federal labor laws and state
2
regulation with comprehensive federal oversight of employee benefit plans.
Its goal was
twofold. First, Congress hoped to protect workers from abuses in the management of funds
accumulated by employers tofinanceemployee benefits by establishing fair vesting standards,
strict funding requirements, reporting and disclosure guidelines,fiduciaryobligations for plan

administrators, and a cause of action for plan participants and the Secretary of Labor. Second,
Congress desired to safeguard employers from multiple and conflicting state regulations through
4
the preemption of all state laws that relate to employee benefit plans.
In return for this
security, Congress believed that employers would be more likely to set up employee benefit plans
and maintain higher benefit levels.
B. WHAT IS PREEMPTION AND HOW CAN IT BE AVOIDED?
1. THE PREEMPTION CLAUSE
Preemption is the means which Congress used to achieve its goal. Section 514(a),
ERISA's preemption provision, states that ERISA "shall supersede any and all State laws insofar
5
as they . . . relate to any employee benefit plan." Congress defined an employee benefit plan
as an employee welfare benefit plan or an employee pension benefit plan or a plan which
6
combines both employee pension and employee welfare benefit plans.
Once the body analyzing the employee benefit has determined that a plan exists within
the definition of ERISA, the next step is to examine whether the state law "relates to" an
employee welfare benefit plan. If the state law relates to an employee benefit plan, the law is
preempted by ERISA. Congress clearly intended that the preemption clause have "broad,

benefit plans which includes paid family and medical leave.

ERISA § 514(a), 29 U.S.C. § 1144(a).
The term "State" is defined as "a State, any political subdivisions thereof, or any agency or instrumentality

covered by this title." Id, § 514(c)(2), 29 U.S.C. § 1144(c)(2).
ERISA applies to any employee benefit plan which is established or maintained by any employer engaged
in commerce or in any industry or activity which affects commerce, by any employee organization representing
employees engaged in commerce or in any industry or activity which affects commerce, or by both an employer

sweeping preemptive effect on state law related to employee benefit plans." It believed that
broad preemption would minimize litigation over the validity of state law and eliminate the
8
number of inconsistent or conflicting state regulations covering employee benefit plans.
However, Congress did not specifically address or define the phrase "relates to."
The
significance of the phrase is ultimately determined by the courts.
9
The Supreme Court has given the phrase a broad reading. In a recent case, the Court
again stated that a state law "relates to" an employee benefit plan when "the plan refers to or has
a connection with such a plan, even if the law is not designed to affect the plan or the effect is
10
only indirect."
2. EMPLOYEE WELFARE BENEFIT PLAN
ERISA defines an employee welfare benefit plan as a plan established or maintained by
an employer, an employee organization, or both "for the purpose of providing for its participants
or their beneficiaries, through the purchase of insurance or otherwise, (A) medical, surgical or
hospital care or benefits, or benefits in the event of sickness, accident, disability, death or
unemployment, or vacation benefits . . . , or (B) any benefit described in section 186(c) of this

In 1981, the Court unanimously held that ERISA preempted a New Jersey statute which eliminated a method
for calculating pension benefits that was permitted by federal law. The law was in direct conflict with federal law.
Alessi v. Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., 451 U.S. 504 (1981). The Court decided that ERISA also preempted state
laws that indirectly related to employee benefit plans in Shaw v. Delta Air Lines, 463 U.S. 85 (1983). The Court
cited Black's Law Dictionary when it stated that a "[state] law 'relates to" an employee benefit plan, in the normal
sense of the phrase, if it has a connection with or reference to such a plan," id^, at 96,97. In Shaw, the Court held
that state laws "related to" employee benefit plans when the employer provided medical and disability benefits to
its employees through an ERISA plan. IcL, at 96. The Court however, stated that the disability insurance law was
"saved" to the extent that the law required employers to establish separate plans to provide disability insurance. UL,
at 106-09.
The Court continues to broadly interpret the preemption clause. Mackey v. Lanier Collection Agency &

title (other than pensions on retirement or death, and insurance to provide such pensions)."
Section 186(c) adds holiday and severance benefits to the kinds of benefits covered under the
definition of an employee welfare benefit plan.
12
Therefore, ERISA will preempt all state
legislation which "relates to" those categories of benefits that are included under the definition
of an employee welfare benefit plan.
3. 4(b) EXEMPTIONS
Congress created a number of exemptions to ERISA. First, Congress exempted certain
13
benefit plans from the scope of the preemption clause. State employee benefit plans that are
14
15
exempt under section 4(b) include governmental plans; church plans; plans maintained
solely for the purpose of complying with workers' compensation, unemployment compensation,
16
and disability insurance laws; plans administered outside of the United States for the benefit

ERISA Preemption
�4. THE SAVINGS CLAUSE
Second, Congress qualified the "preemption clause" with the "savings clause" of section
514(b)(2)(A). The savings clause states that "nothing in [ERISA] shall be construed to exempt
or relieve any person from any law of any State which regulates insurance, banking, or
18
securities.
State laws that regulate insurance companies, insurance contracts, banks, trust
19
companies, and investment companies are "saved" from preemption.
However, the savings clause is restricted by the "deemer clause," which provides that
ERISA will not construe employee benefit plans or trusts as insurance companies or insurance
20
contracts for the purpose of examining any state regulation of the insurance industry. An
employee benefit plan covered by ERISA will not be "deemed" to be an insurance company for
21
the purposes of state regulation. States can regulate insurance companies by placing certain
restrictions on the kinds of benefits that must be included in all policies sold within the state.
States cannot regulate self-insured employers since their employee benefit plans are not purchased
from insurance companies.
State laws relating to self-insured employers are subject to
preemption through the deemer clause.
5. THE PAYROLL PRACTICE EXEMPTION
The payroll practice exemption establishes a third way to avoid preemption. In its
regulations, the Department of Labor outlined the parameters of employee welfare benefit plans
22
covered by ERISA. When workers are paid out of the employer's general assets, rather than
a separate benefit plan established to comply with ERISA, the compensation is not included under
the definition of an employee welfare benefit plan.

"[n]othing in [ERISA] shall be construed to alter, amend, modify, invalidate, impair, or
supersede any law of the United States . . . or any rule or regulation issued under any such
law."
26
State laws are not preempted when preemption would "alter, amend, modify,
invalidate, impair, or supersede" any other federal law.

Congress has amended ERISA to exempt certain state laws or subject areas from
preemption, such as domestic relations orders. However, none of these exemptions are relevant

ERISA Preemption
�n. POLICY ALTERNATIVES WHICH PROVIDE FOR PAID LEAVE AND
AVOID ERISA PREEMPTION
The key to constructing a model bill for paid leave is avoiding ERISA preemption. The
bill must avoid classification as an employee welfare benefit plan, not "relate to" an employee
benefit plan, or escape preemption under the section 4(b) exemptions, the savings clause qualified
by the deemer clause, the federal law exception, or an amendment to ERISA. Business will
oppose all of the alternatives considered below as too costly and violative of ERISA's goal to
28
eliminate conflicting state laws and regulations concerning employee benefits plans.
General
political problems are also associated with passing paid leave legislation under all of the options.
The major political problem is the large number of interest groups, which compete for legislative
attention and finance.
A. THE PROPOSED HEALTH SECURITY ACT: EXPLICITLY EXEMPTED FROM
ERISA PREEMPTION?
A state may fund paid leave through federal funds set aside for state Health Care Access
Initiatives. These initiatives are outlined in President Clinton's proposed Health Security Act
(HSA).
29
The purpose of the initiatives is to eliminate major financial and non-financial
30
barriers that confront America's underserved populations.
Paid family and medical leave
programs will enable states to overcome the greatest obstacle to seeking health care- loss of
personal income.
By granting wage replacement to workers during temporary periods of
personal or family disability, workers will likely pursue treatment for themselves and for family
members. Therefore, paid leave can receive federal funding as a state initiative to increase
See e.g. Michele Lord, It's a Matter of Time: The Report of the Governor's Project on Family Leave. New
York State Industrial Cooperation Council (1990), at 2, 11-12, 16-18 (employers have traditionally campaigned
against governmental regulation in the work place).
2 9
This option is discussed in much greater detail in the "Best Options Memo" and a memo specifically
addressing HSA and paid leave.
3 0
The term "medically underserved population" is defined by 42 USC § 254c(b)(3), the Public Health Service
Act, as a rural or urban population designated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services as an area with a
shortage of personal health services. Factors considered by the Secretory include comments from state officials,
infant mortality, access, and ability to pay. Designation is quite discretionary, since the Secretary may designate
a medically underserved population that does not meet established criteria.
CENTER FOR POLICY ALTERNATIVES
26
ERISA Preemption
�access to health care for the medically underserved.
Federal funding for Health Care Access Initiatives in no way affects federal funding of
a state's general health care systems. Money for these initiatives are meant to supplement
general health care allocations to states. However, when paid family and medical leave benefits
extend beyond underserved populations to the general public, states must fund the portion of paid
leave that goes beyond the medically underserved.
With few exceptions, state laws that relate to health benefits covered by HSA will not be
preempted by ERISA. Only large companies, which establish separate health care plans, will
be subject to ERISA preemption under HSA.
31
B. TEMPORARY DISABILITY INSURANCE AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE:
IS THE STATE LAW EXEMPTED UNDER ERISA SECTION 4(b)(3)?
Though the Court does interpret ERISA's preemption clause broadly, the state paid leave
law may still prevail due to an exemption under ERISA section 4(b)(3). Section 4(b)(3) exempts
from preemption employee benefit plans "maintained solely for the purpose of complying with
applicable workmen's compensation laws or unemployment compensation or disability insurance
32
laws."
33
In Shaw v. Delta Air Lines. Inc. . the Supreme Court examined two New York state
laws-- the Human Rights Law, which forbade discrimination in employee benefit plans on the
basis of pregnancy, and the Disability Benefits Law, which required employers to pay sick leave
benefits to employees unable to work because of pregnancy. In order to determine whether the
employee benefit plan was maintained solely for the purpose of complying with disability
insurance laws, the Court inquired "whether the plan, as an administrative unit, provide[d] only

�34
those benefits required by the applicable state law." The Court found that the New York law
was partially preempted by ERISA to the extent that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
3
5
permitted discrimination against pregnancy.
Furthermore, the state could not require
employers to change their ERISA plans in order to provide equal benefits for pregnancy
disability. Rather, through legislation, a state can force an employer to choose between
providing the insurance or disability benefits in a separately administered plan and including them
in the employer's existing ERISA plan. Only if the benefits in the employer's existing ERISA
plan do not meet state standards may a state can require the employer to establish a separate
36
plan. Therefore, if the employer's ERISA plan comports with state standards, the employer
need not provide benefits for pregnancy disability.
The Court went a step further in limiting the scope of ERISA section 4(b)(3) exemptions
37
in District pf Columbia v, Washington Trade Bpard. In Washington Trade Bp^rd, the Court
held invalid a D.C. law requiring employers who provide health insurance for their employees
to extend equivalent health insurance coverage for injured employees eligible for workers'
compensation benefits. Though the D.C. law regulated workers' compensation laws, an area
reserved to states, the Court decided that "exemptions from ERISA coverage . . . do not limit
the preemptive sweep of [ERISA section] 514 once it is determined that the law in question
38
relates to a covered plan." The Court seems to suggest that once a state law is found to
"relate to" an employee benefit plan covered by ERISA, section 4(b) exemptions will not protect
3 4
IcL at 107 (if employer's ERISA plan includes multiple employee benefits, the fact that one of those benefits
is exempt under ERISA § 4(b) will not enable a state to regulate the plan).

Id at 98. If the state law prohibits practices that are illegal under federal law, the state law will not be
preempted. ERISA will, however, preempt the portion of the state law that prohibits an employment practice that
is lawful under federal law.
The preemption of state sex discrimination laws pertaining to pregnancy became moot with the passage of
the 1978 Amendments to Title VII and the idea of affording lesser benefits for pregnancy was done away with in
1982.

the state law from preemption.
For example, ERISA will preempt a state law regulating
workers' compensation if the law "relates to" an ERISA plan created to provide health insurance.
1. THE TEMPORARY DISABILITY INSURANCE ALTERNATIVE
ERISA section 4(b)(3) exempts from preemption employee benefit plans "maintained
40
solely for the purpose of complying with . . . disability insurance laws." A state could design
a law on family and medical leave which avoids preemption by making the disability exemption
clearly applicable. Legislators must articulate the purpose of the law in language that specifies
protection for disabled employees and define disability as both disabling medical conditions and
41
family necessities.
Five states (California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island) and Puerto
Rico have temporary disability insurance (TDI) legislation, which requires employers to provide
partial wage replacement for an employee unable to work due to non-occupational injuries.
43
TDI laws fall under the section 4(b)(3) exemption.
42
Though in the past, TDI have not
provided a job-back guarantee, the newly enacted Family and Medical Leave Act, mandates such
a guarantee.
The legislative problem facing a TDI alternative is expanding the definition of
"disability." Neither ERISA nor its legislative history define disability or disability insurance.
44
In Standard Oil Company of California v. Agsalud . the court vaguely stated that "[disability
insurance compensates people who, because of disability, are unable to perform their normal

financially sound.

"disability."
The court's vagueness can be clarified by current understandings of
Disabilities can include both physical and mental conditions which prevent
46
employees from pursuing their occupations.
The strongest argument against a TDI alternative, especially in light of Washington Trade
47
Board. is that the law attempts to re-characterize a non-disabling condition as a disability.
The Court could find that the expanded definition of "disability" "relates to" a employee benefit
plan and dismiss the case, as in Washington Trade Board, without thoroughly examining the
48
ERISA section 4(b)(3) exemption.
A variation on the TDI alternative covering paid family and medical leave for all workers
is a version for women in the work-place. By limiting the definition of disability to mothers
caring for their sick or injured children, the law may be more palatable to business and
government and be viewed primarily as a modification of pregnancy disability laws. This
variation, however, may raise concerns about discrimination against men, and may even violate
49
Tide VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
2. THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE ALTERNATIVE
ERISA section 4(b)(3) also exempts from preemption employee benefit plans "maintained
50
solely for the purpose of complying with . . . unemployment compensation . . . laws."
Unemployment insurance is a federal-state program designed to give temporary wage replacement
to individuals who are willing and able to work, but who have lost their jobs through no fault
4 5

4 6
Disabling conditions include alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness, pregnancy and child birth, cosmetic
surgery, and attempted suicide. See e ^ Gilbert v. General Electric Co., 519 F.2d 661 (4th Cir. 1975); Cal.
Unemp. Ins. Code. § 2626 (West 1986 and Supp. 1992).
4 7
121 L.Ed 2d 513 (1992).

The only way to ensure the viability of a TDI alternative is for Congress to pass a clarifying amendment
to ERISA which defines "disability" to include care for a sick or injured family member.

of their own. The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) sets the framework and minimum
requirements for the states' unemployment compensation laws. FUTA imposes a 6.2% tax on
employers who may offset the federal tax by 90% of all contributions made under the state
52
unemployment insurance law. FUTA provides no definition of "unemployment." Therefore,
states may construct their own definition.
The unemployment insurance framework can be amended to provide for paid leave by
broadening the definition of unemployment. The definition of "unemployment" must include
periods of time when a employee is temporarily unable or unwilling to work because of personal
or family circumstances. There are three advantages to the unemployment insurance alternative.
First, all fifty states have unemployment compensation laws. No new legislation is necessary.
Second, because unemployment compensation is a federal-state program, paid leave can be
implemented either on the state level or through an amendment to the federal requirements listed
in FUTA. Paid leave is currently provided in Canada through its unemployment compensation
laws. Third, Congress is expected to revamp the entire unemployment system in 1994.
There are two major disadvantages to the unemployment insurance alternative. First,
many other progressive policy groups want to change the unemployment compensation system.
Paid leave would have to compete with other programs for a place on state and federal agendas.
53
Second, labor groups are adamantly opposed to tinkering with unemployment insurance laws.
C. A REFUNDABLE PAYROLL TAX
Another way of avoiding ERISA preemption is through the imposition of a payroll tax
on employers instead of a benefit requirement. The tax would be refundable to employers who
provide paid family and medical leave. In 1988, Massachusetts adopted a payroll tax in order
5 1
26 U.S.C. § 3300 et seq. (West 1993). FUTA determines the amount of federal tax that an employer must
pay. Employers covered under a state statute may offset their federal tax liability by the amount paid in state
contributions to unemployment insurance. FUTA does not require a state to pass an unemployment compensation
law, though all S states have passed such a law.

Some legislators fear that

the payroll tax will hurt business and therefore, adversely affect the economy. Businesses also
57
oppose the measure. Therefore, the problem with this alternative will be raising enough state
taxes to fund and administer a paid family and medical leave program while providing enough
of a tax refund to quash business opposition.
D. THE FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE ACT: IS THE STATE LAW EXEMPTED
UNDER THE FEDERAL LAW EXCEPTION?
The federal law exception exempts state laws from ERISA preemption if preempting the
58
state law would "modify [or] impair . . . any law of the United States." The Supreme Court
59
has interpreted this exception narrowly. In Shaw v. Delta Air Lines. Inc.. Shaw argued that
the preemption of the state law would impair and modify the state's ability to enforce Title VII
60
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Court rejected Shaw's argument and held that practical
problems in the administration of state fair employment laws "do not represent the kind of
61
'impairment' or 'modification' of federal law that can save a state law from preemption."
Though the Court stated that the federal law exception should be narrowly construed in order to
advance Congress' intent to provide comprehensive preemption of state laws, the Court did not
indicate what level of modification or impairment of federal law is needed for the federal law

62
A state could argue that the preemption of its law providing paid family and medical leave
impairs the effectiveness of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) by hampering
the state's ability to provide greater coverage than the Act.
63
The argument will fail. Though
64
a state may provide greater employee leave rights than those established by the FMLA, state
65
family and medical leave laws are still subject to ERISA preemption. If Congress had wished
to except state paid family and medical leave laws from preemption, Congress would have
1
included language "providing that 'notwithstanding any other provision of Federal law, or
'notwithstanding any provision of ERISA,' the Family Leave [Act] shall not be construed to
supersede state or local laws. "^ Unless the FMLA is amended to exempt state paid leave laws
67
from ERISA, states will still face the challenge of avoiding preemption.
E. A CONGRESSIONAL AMENDMENT TO EITHER ERISA OR FMLA?
Congress has amended ERISA in order to encourage progressive state legislation. In
1982, Congress amended ERISA to permit states to regulate the reserve levels of fully insured
68
multiple employer trusts (METS).
Prior to the amendment, ERISA preemption allowed
employers who insure their employees through METS to mismanage funds and leave employees

Congress also amended the ERISA preemption provisions to exempt the Hawaii Prepaid
Health Care Act. The Act provides a floor of minimum insurance protection for all workers in
70
the state.
Until the passage of the amendment, courts struck down provisions of the Hawaii
71
law because they were "related to" employee benefit plans. The amendment does not exempt
similar plans in other states.
In 1984, Congress amended ERISA to exempt qualified domestic relations orders
72
concerning alimony and divorce reaching pension plans.
Most recently, states have pressed for amendments or waivers to ERISA that would allow
73
them to regulate self-insured employers and experiment with new health care programs. More
than half of all American workers are employed by companies that self-insure. The deemer
clause enables self-insured employers to escape a number of state regulations in the insurance
74
industry.
By allowing states to regulate self-insured employers or health care in general,
states will be better able to enact innovative health care programs that apply to all workers.

However, business and labor groups are lobbying diligently against the amendment.

workers with paid family and medical leave is an amendment to either ERISA or the FMLA.
Such an amendment would be consistent with Congress' policy of reserving to states "safety nets"
for workers, such as unemployment compensation, workers' compensation, and disability
insurance. Moreover, Congress has exhibited a willingness to exempt family matters from
77
78
ERISA preemption, as in the case of pregnancy and domestic relations orders.
F. DIRECT REGULATION OF THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY: IS THE STATE LAW
EXEMPT UNDER THE SAVINGS CLAUSE?
A state law that "relates to" employee benefit plans may be "saved" from preemption if
79
the law regulates insurance, banking, or securities.
In analyzing the insurance savings
80
clause, first, the court will ask whether the state law "relates to" an employee benefit plan.
81
Second, if the law does relate to such a plan, the court will decide whether the law regulates
82
insurance. Third, the court must determine whether the state law is preempted by the deemer
clause.
Once a court has decided that the state law "relates to" an employee benefit plan, the
83
court uses the McCarran-Ferguson Act to determine whether a state law regulates insurance.
The Act gives the primary responsibility of regulating the insurance industry to state

governments. According to the jurisprudence of the McCarran-Ferguson Act, a law regulates
insurance if it spreads the risk of the policy-holder, addresses an integral part of the policy
relationship between the insured and the insurer, and is limited to the management of entities
85
within the insurance industry. If the state law regulates insurance, ERISA does not preempt
the state law.
Finally, if the state law regulates Uie insurance industry, the Court will determine whether
the deemer clause preempts the state law because the state insurance law operates on the
86
employee benefit plan, rather than the insurer.
The Supreme Court applied this analysis in Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. v.

The Court held that ERISA did not preempt a state law that required
employers to provide a minimum floor of mental health care benefits. First, the Court
determined that the state law did "relate to" an employee benefit plan. Second, the Court applied
the test provided in the McCarran-Ferguson Act. Under the test, the state law regulated the
88
insurance industry because the state law spread the risk of insuring for mental health and
regulated the relationship between insured and insurer by limiting the type of insurance that a
company could sell.

The state law did not use insurance regulation
as a pretext for changing the requirements of an employee benefit plan.
A state wishing to provide workers with paid leave could require all insurers providing
policies for employers in the state to include wage replacement for family and medical leave as
92
part of their packages. However, even ignoring the intense opposition of insurance companies
that is sure to make the proposal nearly impossible the option would provide only a partial
solution. The state law would be inapplicable to businesses that self-insure since they do not
93
94
purchase coverage from insurers and insurance companies. The deemer clause specifically
protects these self-insured employers from state laws. ERISA employee benefit plans created by
self-insured employers, like those established by employers to comply with ERISA requirements,
95
will not be deemed to be an insurance company for the purpose of state regulation.
G. THE PAYROLL PRACTICE EXEMPTION: IS THE BENEFIT AN EMPLOYEE

ERISA Preemption
�unemployment, or vacation benefits, apprenticeship or other training programs, day care centers,

welfare benefit plan is intended for the good of union members, employees, former employees
or their beneficiaries, and established or maintained by an employer, employee organization, or
97
both.
The Supreme Court has outlined a three-part test to distinguish employee benefits from
98
employee benefit plans. The test results that prove the existence of an employee benefit plan,
99
are an on-going administrative program, employer responsibility to pay benefits on a regular
100
101
schedule, and a large number of financial transactions.
In other words, when payments
are made to employees out of the employer's general assets at the employee's normal rate of
compensation, the payments are not considered to be part of an employee benefit plan. When
payments are made out of an employer's general assets, no separate plan is required and the level
of business administration is not increased .

the leave is not an ERISA benefit plan and is not subject to preemption. Id, at 1673.

not open to employer abuse.
The Supreme Court's three-part test is consistent with the Department of Labor
105
regulations excluding payroll practices from the definition of employee benefit plans.
Vacation pay and sick leave are examples of payroll practices. Vacation pay and sick leave are
payable out of the employer's general assets, not out of a separate account. The payments are
made at the employee's normal rate of compensation and do not include additional conditions.
As in the case of vacation pay and sick leave, if paid family and medical leave is
interpreted as an employee benefit and not an employee benefit plan, it will avoid ERISA
106
preemption.
Without significantly increasing the administrative burden on employers,
workers could accumulate rights to unfunded family and medical leave as long as workers are
paid out of the employer's general assets. Moreover, because the Department of Labor's
regulations provide for leave when a worker is mentally unable to perform his or her duties, they
may cover situations involving family care.
107
The state law need only require that the benefits
be paid out of the employer's general assets and not significantly increase the administrative
burden on employers.
The major problem with this approach is the Supreme Court's broad interpretation of the
108
preemption clause.
The Court may find that the payroll practice is either a pretext for
109
regulating an ERISA benefit plan or a benefit plan itself because of the probable high level
110
of administration required of employers.

ERISA Preemption
�IV. CONCLUSION
A state desirous of enacting a paid family and medical leave law faces two major
challenges. First, the state must avoid preemption of its paid leave law by ERISA. ERISA
preempts all state laws that "relate to" employee benefit plans. Therefore, the state must
construct paid leave laws that take advantage of explicit exceptions to ERISA preemption.
Examples of these exceptions include explicit federal exemptions as provided in the proposed
Health Security Act and the general exclusion of unemployment and disability insurance laws
from ERISA coverage. The various alternatives available to states that wish to circumvent
preemption by ERISA should be clear from the paper.
Second, the state must confront political obstacles that block progress on paid family and
medical leave laws as stand-alone proposals. Business generally views paid leave as an onerous
financial and administrative burden. Public interest groups often resent paid leave for competing
with their own political agendas. Therefore, it is in the interest of the state to mold paid leave
into a proposal that improves upon pre-existing legislation. Paid leave can compliment and
strengthen many state and federal programs that address issues of family, health, and job
security. Though not addressed directly in this paper, the preceding issue papers should have
clarified the three most politically attractive alternatives- the Health Security Act, temporary
disability insurance, and unemployment insurance options.

payment for paid leave out of

2. like vacation and sick leave
1. Supreme Court's broad
interpretation of preemption
may preclude this model
* Job-back guarantee may already exist as part of Family and Medica Leave Act (FMLA).
** Business will likely oppose all of the options as too costly. Furthermore, the general political problems associated with passing paid leave
legislation underlie all of the options.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I am aware that you w i l l make a t r i p to our area in June to observe

Regional Medical Center to see an example of your efforts put into
action.
DRMC i s soon to launch i t s new Mobile Family C l i n i c , a r u r a l health
c l i n i c that w i l l travel throughout Southeast Missouri - and later
into Northeast Arkansas, we anticipate - providing primary health
care to areas previously not served.
Since our Mobile Family C l i n i c i s the f i r s t of i t s kind in Missouri
and i s such a complement to the changes you and the President are
trying to bring about in our country, I f e l t I would be remiss i f
I did not extend an invitation for you to see our c l i n i c and
participate i n i t s dedication.
DRMC has i n common with you a commitment to providing accessible
health care. Our Mobile Mammography Van - again, the only one of
i t s kind i n our region - has provided convenient mammograms to
women i n 14 Missouri and Arkansas counties since March 1993.
Understanding the enormity of scheduling d i f f i c u l t i e s you must
consider, I hope that I have beim able to convey i n t h i s brief

I am writing in support of the Arizona Pharmacy Foundation's (APF)
request to have President Clinton speak with the APF. If the President is
unavailable, the APF would like to extend this invitation to a Cabinet official
activejn the heaUh_care debate.
'
The APF would provide an opportunity for President Clinton to learn
first hand the opinions of some of those most directly involved in health
care. It would also offer a chance for the President to get his message directly
to Arizonans interested in health care reform.
If I can be of further assistance in this matter, please let me know.
Very truly yours.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
My name is Molly R. Hall. I am the Director Of Marketing for the Heartlands
Retirement Community located in Historic Ellicott City, Maryland. I am writing to you on behalf
of my residents. They are very concerned about the new Healthcare plan that you and The
President are trying to get passed. It is not very easy for seniors to understand the proposed
healthcare package. The residents are independent, healthy, and active seniors but feel that
people in politics talk in terms that they cannot understand.
Would it be possible for you or a member of your healthcare team be able to come
visit the Heartlands and give a presentation for the residents to understand ? They are extremely
worried about it. We would be very happy to have you for lunch or dinner.
1 have been a senior advocate for 15 years and I know how frightened they ve over
this plan. I truly believe that if they could understand it better, than they would mosl likely {vve it
their support. Please help them if you can Mrs. Clinton, they really are wonderful people.
;
Seniors sometimes feel that they are left ou) of the mainstream because of theie
,
but we must alv/ays remember that they are the forefront of this nation. They are living longer
than they ever have and they still do have a lot to say on issues.
Thank yon most kindly. 1 hope for their sakes that you will be able to get a chance
to read this and respond to our invitation.
Most Kindly,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
It was a tremendous pleasure meeting you and the President at the Democratic National
Committee pre-event with Esther Coopersmith and later at the White House reception
which you so graciously hosted for Emily's List Majority Council members. I have
enclosed pictures with hopes that you both will sign these beautiful memories for me,
thank you so much.
Knowing of your sincere appreciation for nature, beauty and spiritual healing, I would
like to extend an invitation to you to visit a most extraordinary institution. The City of
Hope National Medical Center and Beckman Research Institute, located just outside of
Los Angeles, exemplifies the traditional caring values all of us as a society should embrace
more fully.
The City of Hope, a designated clinical cancer research center by the National CancerN^ / n d j ^
Institute is a world class leader in the field of health care, clinical and basic research.
//
Situated on over one hundred acres, the City of Hope offers compassionate care to
critically ill patients. As Louis Pasteur so aptly stated, "There is no profit in curing the
body if in doing so you destroy the soul."
Additionally, as a member of the National Board of Directors, I would be more than happy
to tour the medical center with you and will make all arrangements. Please advise me as
to possible available dates when you will he in the Los Angeles area this fall. Ourjyisit
would last approximately two hours. As our country strives to improve the healthcare
system, your first hand knowledge of the City of Hope will prove invaluable.
I am confident you will be amazed that such a remarkable place exists for research and
healing of devastating diseases that continue to afflict all of us.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you
shortly.
Warmest regards,
Bobbie Stern

I read about your recent comments in regard to teenage sexuality. I would like to echo
my support of your stated position; I feel, as you apparently do, that we have to get
back to basics to solve this devastating problem.
You may have heard of a very successful program of postponing sexual involvement for
school children in the Greater Cincinnati area. Enclosed is a U.S. News and World
Report article on the program that has just been published.
After four years of effort, we have introduced this program, now installed in the last two
years in all public schools in Cincinnati, i.e. 4.000 seventh graders receive this program
yearly plus 2,000 parochial school children and 2,000 in Northern Kentucky.
The unique feature of this program is that it is taught bv teen leaders from the 10th to
12th grades. They are trained during the summer (i.e. 90 of them) for work during the
year. As you can imagine it is inspirational to see these young people in action and
restores our "faith" in youth.
We_would love to have you come and visit us to see this program in action. It is quite
a tum-amund. We trust that this could be the new mftssa^e for yonng people in the state
of Ohio.

You probably would like to know that Kentucky apparently has adopted this program
and so has the state of California. I hope that the State of Ohio and many other states
will initiate this program. Teen pregnancy is a horrific problem, but it can be solved
with conscientious leaders like you.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

BUSES AND PATRIOTE --
HHS ASPE'HP
^UUl' 00-1
by Robert T. Van Book
B i l l Cosby once perfcrned a s k i t that likened the beginning of
the American Revolutionary Vizr to a coin toss to begin a football
game. In Cosby's version oil history, the American p a t r i o t s won
the toss and elected to dre^:; however they wanted and shot from
behind trees and rocks,, whi.'.;:; the B r i t i s h were required to wear
red and rtarch into 'battle i n rows.
The p a t r i o t s on the Health .Security Express buses seem to have
lost the current version of that coin toss. They wear t h e i r tee
shirts and caps announcing JAO they are and what they are for,
and tney cruise bravely dcwi the interstate highways i n the
American West. Those for the status quo l i e i n wait i n towns and
c i t i e s along the way. They f i r e ideological weapons loaded from
behind "he rocks and trees oZ misunderstanding and complacency.
I rode with the westsrn Heal-h Security Express patriots through
Idaho and. Utah, as die reporters from the New York Times and the
Washington Post. In fact, i n some ways the media set the rules
for engagement. The p a t r i c t s f i g h t i n g for universal health care
coverage are struggling against some very well-heeled adversaries
who can present t h e i r message to the American people i n the form
of s l i c k TV ads posing dire: threats of change. Health care
reformers rely on the news media to get t h e i r message out. The
medial are motivated to sell, newspapers and advertising, and
sensational or negative coverage of the kinds of events does just
that. Even i f we dismiss their baser motives, the media i s
e t h i c a l l y required to provide "balanced" coverage/ reporting on
both the positive and negative aspects of an event.
In the context I have just described, those who led the Health
Security Express' t r i p thrrmgh eastern Oregon into Utah were i n a
bind. Their impact relied on media coverage, so the thing they
feared most was bad press. As they r o l l e d toward Boise, their
scouts t o l d them there were a group of anti-health reform

Ce
t i r e d irom an exhausting r i l i n 106 degree heat. The t r i p was
made longer by a bus breakdown e a r l i e r i n the day. Among those
on the bus were people with cancer,, paraplegics, and other folks
coping with physical adversity. The leaders could see a real
p o s s i b i l i t y of confrontation, and at t h i s stage of their t r i p , •
they were not confident of the readiness of t h e i r troops, so they
cancelled the event at che capital and headed for the sanctuary
of a local church.
When t h * buses; l e f t Bcise the next morning, the t r i p leaders
announced that i n the future a l l such decisions would be made i n
consultation with the riders. When the buses arrived i n Twin
Falls, Idaho, they were age.in met by a small group of people who
wanted no part of health ce.re reform, but the result was t o t a l l y
d i f f e r e n t . The patriots f i l e d o f f the buses and walked right.up
to the protesters and began discussing the issues with them. By
the time the event was over, the resistance had melted, disarmed
by the courage and heart rending stories of the heroes on the
Health Security Express.
Take for example, the man - a paraplegic injured 16 years ago.in
an auto accident - who i s lust completing his Master of Social
Work degree. He i s currently getting health care coverage
through Medicaid. He w i l l be employable soon, but i f he goes to
work, h e ' l l lose his coverage. He can't afford to go to work ,
because he i s uninsurable ander the current system. He wants to
be a tax payer, but he also needs the security of health care
coverage.
Or consider the husband and wife who run a small business and
thought -hey were well insured - u n t i l they r e a l l y needed i t .
One night they received the c a l l that every parent fears. Their
college-aged daughter had been sideswiped and was i n a coma for
several weeks. When t h e i r doctor referred them to a coma
r e h a b i l i t a t i o n specialist, t h e i r insurance refused to pay. When

the rehab specialist sent their daughter home and prescribed home
nursing c-re, t h e i r :.m\:xiinze refused to pay. Now they are stuck
with i mounting p i l e of b i l l s and a load of disbelief and anger
about their insurance compaay's "skating" on them.
The stories reported on Monday i n the Times and the Post focused
on the buis breakdown i n Oregon and the decision t o avoid a
confrontation i n Boise. They f a i l e d to accentuate the more
positive story of why these people were riding a bus across the
country i n the heat cf sumnsr. The press gave l i t t l e attention
to tbe remarkable rebound cf the group i n Twin Falls or the high
morale aiA cohesion of ~he riders i n the face of adversity.
There are lessons to be lesrned for the press and the leaders of
the Health Reform Express, alike. The press' cynical treatment
of the t r i p missed a great story cf patriotism and commitment.
The leaders agreed that they probably made a bad decision i n
Boise. I t ' s hard to make w^se t a c t i c a l decisions when the rules
of b a t t l e are written to favor the other side. On the other
hand, revolutionary battles are not well fought by the r i s k averse.

Cooper under fire from consumer grou
Associated Press
NASHVILLE — Rep. Jim Cooper, sponsor ol
one of several health care reform plans before
Congress, came under fire Thursday because
he doesn't want to force employers to pay for
insurance.
The Health Care Reform Project, a coalition
of groups ranging from the Alzheimer's Association to the Voice ol the Retarded, from labor
unions to the League of Women Voters, said
they want all Americans to have guaranteed insurance.
Spokesman Ed Dougherty told reporters that
the only way to guarantee universal coverage is
to require employers to pick up some of the
cost.
The group launched a three-week radio and
newspaper ad campaign in Memphis, Nashville
and Chattanooga in an attempt to get Cooper.
D-Shelbyville. to change his mind.
Members of the coalition said Cooper is a
key vote on the House Energy and Commerce
Committee and he is acting as an "obstructionist" to health care plans that include employer
mandates.
Dougherty said that members of Congress
are employed by Americans, who pay more
than 70 percent of their health care costs and
that workers should have that same type of coverage.
But Cooper said in a news release that tht
ccaUtion's campaign is an attack by libera
groups who are trying to distort his plan.
"The truth is my plan would make Tennes
scans' health insurance the same as the insur
ance I receive under the federal employe
system." Cooper said.
"I have made it clear time and again I wiJ
oppose any plan that would harm small bus
nesses through mandates.'' he added

A Campaign for Workers Rights
June 15,1994
'TYuth Squad' of Disabled People
Shadows Cooper in Memphis
Memphis—A small contingent of disabilitylights activists handed out leaflets and discussed
Rational health reform outside a Tennessee Bar Association luncheon Saturday where Democrat Jim
Cooper and Republican Fred Thompson traded
charges in their campaign for U.S. Senate. Calling
themselves a "truth squad," the protestors urged
prompt congressional action on President Clinton's
health plan and fingered Cooper for his role in trying
to "water down" the plan.
' 'Our organization is especially concerned that
long-term care be a central feature of national heallh
reform," said Deborah Cunningham, vice president of
ADAPT of Tennessee. "Cooper's record shows him to
be insensitive to the needs of persons with disabilities
"and order Americans, so we're^etoneirhimThatmust change."
Cunningham held a sign in front of her wheelchair reading, 'Ts he Dr. Cooper or Mr. Gridlock?" as
Cooper came past and briefly acknowledged the
group. Cunningham told reporters Cooper is withholding his vote from a Democratic proposal in the Energy
& Commerce Committee, of which he is a member,
and is "standing in the way of progress."
Union organizers joining ADAPT at the event
pointed out Cooper took $358,000 from individuals
linked to the health and insurance industries last year,
more than any other member of Congress. They
charged he is talking about reform but really just
wants to protect the status quo.
"Our members have been phoning his office, and
they're told he is campaigning and doesn't have time
for their concerns," said Cheryl Randolph of Service
Employees Union Local 205, a statewide union of
hospital and nursing home workers based in Nashville.
"If he wants to represent Tennessee in the Senate, he
better find time to listen to the people about this
issue."
"Cooper has painted himself as a leading congressional voice on health reform, but now he holds

center, and Service Employees Local 205 leader
Cheryl Randolph send a message to Rep. Cooper.
the single vote blocking action," said John Enagonio
of the Nashville-based United Paperworkers Union.
'It's really just a clever form of obstructionism."
The activists criticized Cooper's stand opposing a
mandate that employers pay 80 percent of their workers' insurance. They said Cooper is really "coddling"
large businesses such as Wal-Mart and International
Paper Co. that shift health costs onto individuals and
communities.
ADAPT is an organization of disabled people
thai has fought for better access to public facilities and
jobs, and currently isfightingfor attendant programs
as an alternative to institutionalization. The group in
January presented Cooper with a "Nursing Horoe-asaurus," representing the costly and inhumane nursing
home industry in Tennessee. Also, ADAPT activists in
Nashville led a large February 17 march on Cooper's
campaign office, which showed the widespread public
displeasure with Cooper's own proposal for national
health ref orm.

Re: Louisiana'a choice whether
to concede Medicaid funding of
rape or incest abortions.
TherecentTimes-Picayune article discussing the issue suggested that tha number of rape
and incest abortions performed
in Louisiana ia extremely small,
possibly two or three each year.
The article did not add the corollary, that with Medicaid funding
those numbers will aurely riae.
Nothing ia better proved than
that subsidisation increases incidence. With Medicaid funding
available, mote Louisiana women
will procure abortions of their babies, babies who otherwise would
live, babies whose innocent lives
are not less worthy because of a
parent's misconduct.
Let there be no misunderstanding of the moral positions of
the state and federal governments in tbe dispute. If. on moral

will be tha federal government,
not Louisiana, that halts general

The 30-second spot suggests that if

Summary: Some b e l i e v e the Oregon senator may be t h e one t o
f a s h i o n a behind-the-scenes b i p a r t i s a n compromise
As time s l i p s away from Congress, Oregon's Sen. Bob Packwood
stands t o p l a y an i n c r e a s i n g l y p i v o t a l r o l e i n the desperate search
f o r consensus on health-care reform.
Packwood, under the cloud o f a sexual misconduct probe that a t
times l e f t him a Senate p a r i a h , i s now looked t o as one of the key
p l a y e r s who can lead lawmakers out of the health-care morass.
Although Packwood's a b i l i t y t o her senators on board has been
diminished by the 18-month e t h i c s i n v e s t i g a t i o n , he s t i l l i s
considered the Republican most l i k e l y t o work out t h e f i n e points
-- behind the scenes - - of a b i p a r t i s a n compromise.
"We're a t a c r i t i c a l time i n the debate," said Charles Leonard,
* a spokesman f o r the Health Care Reform P r o j e c t , one of the major
lobbying c o a l i t i o n s o f unions, businesses, medical providers and
consumers. ""Senator Packwood could help break the logjam and
breathe new l i f e i n t o the debate."
- Agreement hard t o come by
There are f i v e panels overseeing h e a l t h care, b u t four can't
agree on a proposal t h a t anyone i n Washington believes has a real
chance of passage. Most now see the Senate Finance Committee, on
which Packwood serves as the ranking Republican, as the lasc and
best hope f o r comprehensive health-care reform.
Aides t o Packwood and Finance Committee Chairman Daniel Patrick
Moynihan have been meeting since the s t a r t of the Memorial -ay
recess two weeks ago t o work out a broad o u t l i n e f o r compromise.
According t o Democratic and Republican aides p r i v y t o the

*
The Health Care Reform P r o j e c t addressed Packwood and
other key players i n the House and Senate w i t h f u l l - p a g e r.-e-ipaper
�ads over the Memorial Day recess.
Packwood doesn't talk to The Oregonian as a matter of policy
and refused through an aide to discuss his committee's work on
health care. He told The Associated Press on May 26 that he
believed the committee could come up with a bipartisan plan.
" I t w i l l be a middle-of-the-road b i l l and both sides w i l l be
pulled toward the center," Packwood told The Associated Press.
One need look no farther than the Oregon delegation to see the
d i f f i c u l t y facing Congress i n reaching a consensus.
Three of f i v e House members of the Oregon delegation have
endorsed different health reform plans. Democratic Rep. Mike
Kopetski i s leaning toward a fourth, and, across the Columbia River
in Southwest Washington, Democratic Rep. Jolene Unsoeld i s backing
a fifth.
- Health care package complex
The debate over health care i s so complex that, even some
lawmakers don't always understand the i n t r i c a c i e s of the b i l l
they're on record as endorsing. And members are sometimes
deliberately vague -- referring to a payroll tax, for example, as
simply "an assessment."
S t i l l , Rep. Ron Wyden, i n his seventh term and widely viewed as
one of Capitol H i l l ' s experts on the i n t r i c a c i e s of health care,
said he believed consensus was within reach. Wyden serves on the
House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health, which has so far
deadlocked over health-care reform.
In interviews over recent weeks, Wyden has outlined a
compromise s i m i l a r to what i s now under discussion by the Finance
Committee. Wyden says he believes such a compromise could bridge
the gap between l i b e r a l Democrats who want quick and aggressive
action to ensure that low-wage workers and the poor get health
coverage and conservatives who are wary of government intervention
and want to r e l y on market reforms.
"You're setting a date c e r t a i n when you've got to have
universal coverage . . . " Wyden said. "But the market-reform people
get f i r s t crack at i t . "
Oregon Republican Sen. Mark 0. Hatfield opposes forcing
businesses to pay for health coverage for workers but said i n an
interview l a s t week that he might support such a compromise i f i t
included adequate subsidies for small businesses.
Hatfield i s not optimistic about the chances for major reform
t h i s year but says he's "not without hope," noting that during his
27 years i n office, he has "seen things come together at the last
moment before."
I f a plan i s approved, i t may well include a provision Hatfield
co-authored with Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, which has won
broad bipartisan support and has been attached to both major
Democratic and Republican proposals. The Hatfield-Harkin provision
would put 1 percent of the insurance premiums collected into a
medical research fund.
"The ultimate cost containment i s cure," Hatfield said. "Either
from an economic or humanitarian point of view medical research has
to be part of any medical reform."

a serious mistake to underestimate its political clout"
The industry has fought off
n»«ny proposed tax increases
over the years, keeping the federal 24 cent-a-pack levy among
we lowest tn the industrial
wond.
With all the public sentiment
against smoking, tobacco is
again seen as a politically expefflent source of revenue to finance health care reform. But
the amount of the tax, which
would further discourage cigarette sales, remains undecided.
A House subcommittee recommended a llJS-a-pack increase
in
March.
But
demonstrating the continued
clout of tobacco s allies Rep
Sara Gibbons. D-Fla.. acting
chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, last
week slashed that proposal to 60
cents. The committee will vote
on it later this year.

Other major anti-smoking
proposals, including a federal
smoking ban ui most public
buildings and a measure authorizing the Food and Drug Administration
to
regulate
cigarette manufacturing and
sales, are considered long shots
this year.
Despite a mountain of research suggesting smoking is
harmful lo Americans health,
just three sigmficant anti-tobacco bills have passed Congress in
the last 20 years. Two of those
outlawed smoking on domestic
airline flights and the other

Durbin and Rep Mike Synar, D-Okla.. tried a similar tactic this week, trying to force a
House vote on a measure authorizing the FDA to oversee cigarettes as if they were a
prescription drug Thr attempt
to offer the bill as an amendment to .an agriculture appropnations-bill was rejected.
"While the tobacco lobby

�Medicare costs of smoking-reLa ted disease. Tobacco companies have rushed to defend
themselves with full-page advertisements and slick publicrelations campaigns.
"Whether all this talk translates into Congress having the
guts to do something, the jury
is still out," said Gene Karpinski, executive director of the
U.S. Public Interest Research
Group.
The tobacco industry, which
contributed SZ.4 million to
members' re-election efforts in
1991-82. still has numerous defenders in Congress. And many
of them are on key committees.
Since Jan. 1. according to
Federal Election Commission
filings, the industry has given
more than gl million in donations for this year's congressional campaigns.
Thomas Luna, a spokesman
for the Tobacco Institute, asserted that the contributions
are overshadowed in size by
multibillion-dollar
donations
from the political action committees of other industries, including health care.
"When any industry contributes money, they're participating in the democratic process."
Luna said.
Among the most powerful of
the pro-tobacco forces is Rep.
Tom Bliley of Richmond. Va..
where Phillip Morris Cos. is a
large employer. As ranking Republican on the House Energy
and Commerce committee, Bliley controls GOP votes on the
panel and has been an outspoken opponent of two anti-smoking measures pending there.
Bliley accepted a total of
166,190 from the four largest tobacco PACs from 1987 to 1993.
more than any other member of
Congress, according to U.S.
Public
Interest Research
Group.
In the Senate, unlike the
House, smoking is still permitted in designated areas,
largely due to the influence of
the Democratic whip. Sen. Wen-
dell Ford of tobacco-producing
Kentucky.
Such well-positioned supporters have enabled the tobacco
lobby to fend off anti-smoking
measures by quietly killing
them in various committees.
"Tobacco lobby influence
has ensured that members of
Congress rarely have to actually vote against policies designed
to fight tobacco
problems." said a 1993 report
on the tobacco lobby by two
watchdog groups. Public Citizen
and the Advocacy Institute.
"Usually such policies are
scuttled in subcommittee or ,
abandoned even before they are
introduced," said the repon, entitled "How the Tobacco Lobby
Suffocates Federal Health PolicyPublic Citizen also found "a
consistent correlation" between
industry contributions and opposition to tobacco control bills.
But there are signs that the
tobacco lobby, like the gun lobby before it. has begun losing
its strong grip on Capitol Hill.
Last month, even supporters of .
the proposal were surprised
when a House subcommittee on
health and environment approved a bill to outlaw smoking
in stores, airports, offices and
other public places.
It was the first anti-tobacco |
bill in 10 yean to be endorsed !
by the committee, which has
scuttled numerous others.
This time, more aggressive
lobbying
by anti-smoking
groups swayed some members,
such as Rep. Scott Khig. RWis.. who voted for the bill after an anti-smoking group in his
home state lambasted him for
opposing it. Yet with health
care, anti-crime and other higher-priority initiatives filling
Congress' agenda, there's litUe
optimism the bill will go any
farther this year.
The vote underscored the
continued influence of tobacco
money. An analysis by U.S.
Public Interest Research Gmup
found that, on average. House

those who voted for it.

With our plan:
• You'll be able t o change motor carriers without losing your health care coverage.
I-surance w i l l always be there.
• As a self-employed business person, you w i l l be able t o deduct 100 percent of
ycur insurance costs, as other businesses now can. Today, you car. only deduct 25
percent of those costs. Our plan ends t h i s d i s c r i m i n a t i o n .
• Your b e n e f i t s w i l l be as good as the best plans c u r r e n t l y offered .ry the country's
biggest businesses, and they w i l l contain the same benefits nat metiers of
Congress receive. Today,.small businesses are paying 30,percent - 40 percent more
than b i g businesses to obtain coverage. With the new bargaining power of large
pools of buyers, you'll be i n charge.
• Because everyone w i l l be covered and everyone w i l l take r e s p o n s i b i l i t y , small
businesses and self-employed people who provide coverage w i l l no longer have to
pay the b i l l s f o r those who don't.
As entrepreneurs, you are most aware that there i s , indeed, a c r i s i s i n our health
care system. By providing guaranteed private insurance t h a t can never be taken
away, we can give you the freedom to grow and prosper t h a t only true health security
can bring.

READERS' VIEWS
Bad news about Breaux's bill
T
here is great news in the recent Congressional Budget Office analysis of
the Cooper/Breaux health refonn proposal — if you are in the health insurance
business.
For the rest of us, the CBO report on the
"Managed Competition Act" shows once
again that Sen. John Breaux's proposal
means less health protection at substantially higher prices.
The CBO report released in early May
confirms what consumer groups and healthpolicy analysts have been saying since the
Breaux/Cooper bill was introduced: it is a
health-reform impostor that will be costly
to our families and businesses and to our
nation's economy.
By failing to take a hard line on skyrocketing medical prices, Breaux/Cooper allows
billions more to be sucked out of our pockets
and into the bank accounts of big insurance
companies and health-care conglomerates.
The Breaux/Cooper bill fails because at its
core, it blames you and me for skyrocketing
medical inflation, instead of the people setting the prices.
Its basic premise is that medical prices are
high because our families are too well
insured and because when sick, we expect
the best medical care available. The
Breaux/Cooper approach to dealing with
health-inflation is to expect sick, sick people to bargain hunt.
It makes our families bear an even greater
portion of the burden of risk and cost for
needed medical attention. This protects
insurance companies quite well, but it
inflicts a punishing burden on families and
small businesses.
According to the CBO's projected figures
for the year 2000, the Breaux plan would
cost $27 billion more than the Clinton plan
and $100 billion more than the single-payer
national health insurance proposal that
provides better coverage and complete
choice of doctors. The difference comes out
of our pockets and goes into the pockets of
health industry.
In the final analysis, the CBO report confirms what other researchers have previously pointed out
The Breaux/Cooper bill fails American
families and businesses because it means
paying higher prices for less health-care
protection. This is good news if you're in the
health insurance business, but bad news for
the rest of us.

Direct Line
to the White house
GLOVERSVILLE — Dr. Howard Freed,
director of emergency services ai Nathan Lit(auer Hospital and Nursing Home, has an inside
line on the current debate over health care*
reform.
It's a line that extends directly into the White
House.
Freed recently returned from a trip to Washington. D.C. where he and aboul 45 other heallh
carcprofessionals heard first hand about ihe statusm the President's proposals io revamp heallh
care in America.
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinion led the
briefing. Attending the briefing were Harold Ickes. deputy White House chief of slalf. and Ira
Magaziner. senior policy consultant on health
care and leader of the task force \ihich developed the President's plan.
Freed's access io the upper echelons of the
Clinion Administration is due to his earlier work
on the plan. Last year, he served on a commiuee
of physicians which reviewed pans of the plan
late, in the^lanning stages but before its publicrelease'. Since (hen. he has received updates by
fax and jStfbne about every six weeks.
The briefing's purpose. Freed said, was to
update "everyone on where we stand on policy
issues and on the process of moving the (health
care) bill ihrough Congress."
He said on policy issues '"theie continue to be
some vested financial interests — particularly
insurance companies — lhal want to keep the
status quo. You see (heir ads on TV and hear
(hem on the radio, but what the President is trying lo do is move decisions about health care
away from employers and away from insurance
company rulings and move ihem back into the
hands of just the patient and physician. That's
the goal, the vision."
What's happening now. "if we do nothing, is
thai the process is less controlled by the doctor
and patient and more controlled by insurance
companies via financial limits on care. They're
calling the shots more and more. The tail is starting to wag the dog. Insurance companies are
becoming more and more involved in managing
care and telling doctors what lo do ."
Freed said the purpose of the President's plan
is to "flip ihe process back into patients' and
doctors' hands. This plan will make ii illegal to
revoke your heaiih insurance after you get sick
and will make it illegal to charge more once you
gel sick. It will also make it illegal to have lifetime financial limits on health care expenditures."
Funding for the plan would come from a variety of sources, he said. Some new money will
come into ihe system through a cigarette lax and
a payroll tax on ihe largest employers (over
5,000 employees) Employers will pay 4/5lhs of
the cost of health insurance and employees l/5i.i.:
he said. There will also be substantial savings
through an increase in competition among heallh
care alliances and ihrough increased penalties for
fraud and abuse.
'The projected cost per employee is $32 |>er
month per single person, with the company pick-:
ing up the rest." he said. "Right now. some peo ;
pie pay more, some pay nothing. This is a cost-;
sharing proposal"
;
Freed said lhe President's plan guarantees four
basic principles: universal coverage for everyAmerican which can never be laken away; coin-"
prchensivc benefits broad enough to make people feel secure aboul their heallh care: insurance
reform including billing simplification; and no
matter whai. Americans will gel lo choose iheir
own doctors."
The federal government's role in this plaji is lo
guarantee lhal each of the competing health c;ire
plans all provide at least the basic coverage ihat.
people are promised. "The program is private
health insurance. The President has consideredand rejected a govemment-mn system," he said. .
Freed said the bill is currently moving through
Congress with a final bill expected before Congress adjourns for the year in October.
"The details are still to be worked out. but the
four basic principles are going to remain imaci,";
Freed said.

UNTY
Albany doctor hears Mrs. Clinton
ALBANY - An Albany doctor
heard first lady Hillary Rodham
Clinton declare that health care
reform will happen despite opposition from major health insurance
companies.
Dr. Howard Freed, associate professor of emergency medicine and
surgery at Albany Medical College,
was one of about S doctors who atO
tended a briefing Thursday at the
White House.
"They said there were a lot of
interest groups with money and a
stake in the status quo," said Freed.
"It was described that insurance
companies are like the tail wagging
the dog ... the insurance companies
are caUing the shots, what's covered,
what treatments will be paid for."
But Mrs. Clinton and other staffers
said that health reform is now going
through Congress and "it is going to
happen ... they're expecting a bill
this year." She said President Clinton
remains cominitted to basic principals like universal coverage and
choice of doctor.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

in this legislation. We believe that current law,

Mr. DIXON. Mr, Speaker. J rise today fo 'fiay
special tribute to a dynamic and enterprising
group of Crenshaw Hisfr School students who
have formed the Nation's first student-owned
natural foods company: Food from the "Hood.
Founded in October 1992. Food from the
•Hood has an ambitious company mission that
seeks :o illustrate the potential of young adults
and provide them with jobs, give back to the
community, arid prove that businesses can be
socially responsible and profitable. Remarkably, the students have successfully marketed

scholarships for the student-owneri and gotv
tributions to local citarities.
m response to "the Los Angeles disturbances, a science, teacher at Crenshaw High
School, Ms. Tammy Bird, encouraged her students to restore the school's garden and give
the food to the ni^edy. On December 18,
1992. the students reaped their first haivest

the students also sold prodjce, enabling them
to provide 600 dollars' worth of college scholarships to. three graduating students. With the
help of Ms. Melinda. McMulten, a former marketing executive, the students soon expanded
tlieiv base and formalized the concept of a student-owned business..
All student-owners participate in an intensive employee development program that,
through a poirttfe system, determine individual
scholarshlp amounts. Students earn points by

earned, with a potential tor acquiring points
worth up to $15.000 a year. Any profits above
the scholarship margins will be donated to varibus community initiatives..
The students' persistence and dedication,
combined with tho-support of Crenshaw High
School administrators and faculty, have yielded an enthusiastic response from the community. Their efforts have garnered the patronage

f ByPaulKdma
SEACON-NEWS STAFP
5 t diaries - True, full-scale reform is
not likely to be approved this year, despite assurances from President Bill Clinton that Congress will move to overhaul
the nation's health care system, a former
federal health administrator and advisor
in the Bush administration said.
"Congress is nowhere near passing
health care reform. They haven": dealt
with fundamental issues," said Gail Wilensky, the keynote speaker Monday at a national health care reform forum at
Pheasant Run Kesort and Convention
Center.
"Pure political power issues" that "have
got to be resolved" first also may make it
difficult to pass even a compromise health
care refonn bill, said Wilensky, former director ot the federal Health Care Financing Administrations and former assbtant
to President George Bush on health and
welfare issues,
Wilensky, now a senior fellow at Project
HOPE, played political analyst for some
300 people at a forum chaired by U.S.
Rep, Dennis Hastert, R-Yorkville, and
sponsored by The Columbia Institute, a
public policy think tank based in Washington, D.C. Hastert is a member of the Republican Leadership Task Force on
Health Care Reform.
Hastert welcomed Wilensky's analysis,
saying that putting health care reform
Icgfelalion into the hands of a congressional compromise committee "is our worstcase scenario, that if some people don't
get their way, they'd pass a skeleton (r*form package) and write it in the back
room." "We hope we can do it in the open,
not in the buck room." said U.S. Rep.
Nancy Johnson, R-Conn.. a Hasten invitee to the forum and a member of the
House Ways and Means CommUtee.

0005/010
ruuD
That route might mean waiting until j
1995 or 1997. after the 1996 elections,
though Congress could pass a "first step" '
reform on items that draw widespread [
agreement. Wilensky said. For example.
Democrats and Republicans seem to
agree that people who change jobs should
pot lose health care benefits, the myriad
nf insurance forms should be reduced to
simpler terms, and people suffering from
expensive, catastrophic illnesses should
no* be cut off from coverage.
Bui Wilensky said entrenchment in the
White House and unresolved major issues
stand in the Way.
Among them are whether:
• National health care should be mandatory, or will federal entitlements meet
the needs of the uninsured and underinsured?
• Federal agencies should set prevailing prices for medical services, in effect a
form of price control.
• Proposed regional health alliances
should regulate health care, or be advisory agencies that keep people informed of
iheir choices.
• Where the money will come from for
any kind of expanded health care.
"People are not being very honest
nbout where they're going to get that
money," Wilensky said. "People are a little
uneasy about how they would be funding
i.hese new enxitlemenu . . . we sy sterna: 1.:ally underestimate how much they cost
ind systematically overestimate how
much they're going to save."
Still, Wilensky said if some kind of reform package should emerge this year, it
probably would "Iwypcn very fast" in a
Conjtressional committee charged with
forging a compromise between the proposals of President Clinton and several
Democrat and Republican leaders.
However, she does not think that is
likely because the "Democrats are very
divided" and "conservative Democrats
tend to align with conservative Republicans" on such questions.
•They could make a little bit of a first
itep, but it seems to me what the Democratic leadership and the White House ar*
saying is that kind of 'something' isn't
better than nothing, and to 'give us some
more Democrats 3Jnd w«'U give you health
cure reform in '95,'" she said.
However, the president is "guardedly
optimiatic" that health care reform will
pass this year, said Elaine Weiss, regional
director for the U.S. Department of
Health and Human R^sourr-ev
Hastert, meanwhile, faced some opposi'
tion at the forum from a group of about
50 propln who protested Outside t he rnn- |
fere nee room.
Spokesman John Cameron, associate di- j
rector of Illinois Public Action, said the
group wanted a meeting with Hastert to
discuss health care reform.

ST. CHARLES ~ It appears
everycoe agrees something should be
done about the nation's health care
dilemma, but no one can agree on
what ihcmld be done.
Columbia Institute sponsored
"Health Csre Refonn '94: The
Emerging Bipartisan Consensus" at
Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles
Monday.
The event, chaired by U.S. Rep.
Dennis Hastert, R-Yorfcville, had
speakers and panelists esplainhig
tne different health care proposals
being drafted by Congress.
Earty in the program, several
people — some in wheelchairs —
protested the event, saying the
fomm was not taking into consideration a single-payer system, similar
to the health care found in nations
such as Can&da.
U.S. Rep. Nancy Johnson, RConnectimt, urged those in attendance to become more active in the
debate on bealth care, saying it is
possible Congress will put some sort
of plan in place during the next session.
The real problem (with the current health system) is accessibility,"
Johnson said.
She said for any health care proposal Ui work, there should be other
things in place that can be done
quickly and with relatively little
cost.
Among those would be insurance
reform and Congress should make it
illegal for insurance companies to
drop coverage for those with "expensive" illnesses.
CO
Johnson said the plan also should
include some sort of tax refonn.
"We need a tax reform that gives
individuals and those who are selfemployed the same tax break aa the
large companies," Johnson said.
Jahason said she is against employer mandates, which are called
for in President Clinton's proposal,
because they would force small
compaciea to lay otT employees in
order to afford the coverage.
Even then, Johnson said, "these
companies won't be able- to make it
in the next recession if the insurance
rates go up."
Elaine Weiss, regional director for
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, touted the administration's proposal as the way to go.
She admits many people fear the
proposal's 1,342 pages, but said it is
not necessarily complicatffl.
"It is uniquely comprehensive
Weiss said.
She said tbe Clinton plan looks at
all aspects of health care and tries to
find a way to make i t affordable and
fairforeveryone.
"People on welfare are automatically guaranteed health care while
those who work may or may not
have health care, and that is not
fair," Weufi said.
She said with Clinton's plan,
everyone who works would be guaranteed health insurance.
One of the audience members
referred buck to the point that the
forum did not address a single-payer
system.
Hastert, however, pointed out one
of the afternoon panel members is a
member of the Illinois Nurses Association and advocates such a plan.
During the afl&mocm session, several people ' Tepresenting different
groups gave their views on the upPa*
coming health care reform.
Ga
Piease see HEALTH page 6 cer
Continued Irom page I
Among the panelists was
James Jbley of Geneva, owner of
Riley Drugs and Munch's Home
Medical Equipment.
Others on the panel represented insurance oomnanies,
medical groups, small !)y£ineases and even the Teamster's
Union.
The moderator, Jim Howard,
the sbakehouse bureau chief for
Illinois Public Radio, asked the
netnbers if they would feel more
comfortable with the state,
rather than Lhe federal government, handling lhe health
care system.
"Fm uncomfortable with boih
ways," Riley replied.
He said the state aysteaa of
Medicare, which is an effshoot of
Medicaid, already doesn't work
or pay ail its bills.
"Last year, 200 pharm«cijta
went out of buaoBas because of
unpaid Medicaid billt," Riley
" I would like to see the govemment, all together, stay out
of health care," Riley said as the
crowd of about 100 people applauded.
Not everyone agreed with
Riley, however.
' I see a need for federal invoJvement," said Carolyn Mull,
an associate professor at Aurora
Univenity and the panelist who
favors a smglfrpayer system.
1 would like to eee it at a
national level* she said, wMle
other panelists aaid i f government must get Involved, it
might be easier to deal with oa
a state level
Panelista urged those in tbe
audience lo write theii representatives and senators to make
sure their voices are heard when
the debate comes up in Congress
in the fall.

The focus of the conference, hdd

Direct Line
to the White house
il
G L O V E R S V 1 L L E — Dr Howard Freed,
direcior of emergerKy services J( Naihan Littauer Hospital and Nursing Home, has an inside
line on the current debate over health carereform.
It's a line that emends directly imo the While
House.
Freed recently returned from a inp to Washington, D C where he and about 45 other health
care professionals heard first hand aboul the stanjs"Sf lhe President's proposals to revamp heallh
care in America.
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinion led lhe
briefing. Attending the briefing were Harold Ickes, deputy White House chief of staff, and lra
Magaziner, senior policy consultant on health
care and leader of the task force \vhich developed lhe President's plan
Freed's access to the upper echelons of the
Clinion Adminisiralion is due to his earlier work
on lhe plan. Last year, he served on a commmee
of physicians which reviewed pans of the plan
laie. in ihe^lanning stages but belore its public
release Since then, he has received updates by
fax and |5K6ne about every six weeks.
The briefing's purpose. Freed said, was to
update "everyone on where we stand on policy
issues and on lhe process of moving ihe (heallh
care) bill ihrough Congress "
He said on policy issues "there continue io be
some vested financial interests — particularly
insurance companies — that want to keep (he
status quo. You see their ads on TV and hear
them on tne radio, bui what the Presidenl is trying to do is move decisions about heallh care
away from employers and away from insurance
company rulings and move them back into the
hands of just the patient and physician. Thai's
the goal, the vision."
What's happening now, " i f we do nothing, is
that the process is less conirolled by ihe doctor
and patient and more controlled by insurance
companies via linancial limns on care. They're
calling the shots more and more The tail is staning to wag lhe dog. Insurance companies are
becoming more and more involved in managing
care and telling doctors what to do. "
Freed said the purpose of lhe President's plan
is to "flip the process back into patients' and
doctors' hands. This plan will make u illegal io
revoke your heallh insurance aller you get sick
and will make it illegal io charge more once you
get sick. I l will also make it illegal lo have lifelime financial limits on health care expenditures."
Funding for the plan would come from a variety of sources, lie said. Some new money will
come into lhe system ihrough a cigarette lax and
a payroll lax on lhe largest employers (over
5.000 employee^. Employers will pay 4/5ths ol
the cost of health insurance and employees l/5i.i
he said. There will also be substantial savings
ihrough an increase in competition among heallh
care alliances and through increased penalties for
fraud and abuse.
'The projected cost per employee is $32 per
month per single person, with die company pick-'
ing up the rest." he said. "Right now. some people pay more, some pay nothing. This is a costsharing proposal."
Freed said the President's plan guarantees tour
basic principles: universal coverage for everyAmerican which can never be laken away , com prehensive benefits broad enough to make people feel secure about their health care: insurance
reform including billing simplification; and "no
matter what. Americans will get to choose their
own doctors."
The federal government's role in ihis plan is io
guarantee thai each of the compeiing health care
plans all provide al least lhe basic coverage lhaL
people are promised. "The program is private
heallh insurance. The Presidenl has consideredand rejected a govemmenl-run system." he said
Freed said the bill is currently moving through
Congress with a final bill expected before Congress adjourns for the year in October.
The details are still to be worked out. bm lhe

Albany doctor hears Mrs. Clinton
ALBANY - An Albany doctor
heard first lady Hillary Rodham
Clinton declare that bealth care
reform will happen despite opposition from major health insurance
companies.
Dr. Howard Freed, associate professor of emergency medicine and
surgery at Albany Medical College,
was one of about 50 doctors who attended a briefing Thursday at the
White House.
"They said there were a lot of
interest groups with money and a
stake in the status quo," said Freed.
"It was described that insurance
companies are like the tail wagging
the dog . . . the insurance companies
are calling the shots, what's covered,
what treatments will be paid for."
But Mrs. Clinton and other staffers
said that health reform is now going
through Congress and "it is going to
happen . . . they're expecting a bill
this year." She said President Clinton
remains committed to basic principals like universal coverage and
choice of doctor.

(Washington, D.C.) — Congresswoman Conine Brown has finalized plans for a major
health care summit scheduled in Jacksonville next Monday. The event, which has drawn
the nation's leading experts in health care policy, will be held at the University Medical
Center in Jacksonville on Monday, June 6 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm.
The summit, which is geared to providers and the general public has attracted much
attention from noted experts in the field. Among the experts travelling from the nation's
capital, will be:
Robert Van Hook,
Fish Brown,
Rosemarie Sweeney,
Executive Officer, Health Care Reform
Clinton Administration. Department of HHS
Legislative Representative
American Association of Retired Persons
Vice President, Socioeconomics and Policy Analysis
American Academy of Family Physicians
Expert panelists from Florida include,

According to Congresswoman Brown, "it is truly unprecedented that such a group of
experts will come to Jacksonville to explain the impact of health care reform. This
forum will answer many of the questions people have about this* important issue.
"This is a great opportunity for constituents to ask questions and learn more about health
care reform. It is also a chance for me to hear the concerns of Floridians about this
issue. I can not make a wise decision on health care reform, unless I hear from
constituents. This is a great opportunity to get the message, and get the message out."

Dear Elaine:
Thanks for adding Pittsburgh to your recent itinerary. Your focus on health care reform and
children turned out to be a great angle. It complemented our other speaker's presentation
perfectly!
I was pleased with the feedback I received throughout the remainder of the convention. Quite
a few commented on how they had been focusing on themselves and their locals, without
understanding the benefits for their students. Your presentation made an impact. My only
regret was having inadequate lead time for notifying the press.
We distributed about 300,000 postcards over the weekend. I personally stamped and mailed a
couple thousand last week.
I've delayed writing this thank you-I thought you would enjoy seeing our June newspaper. Yes,
there are now over 120,000 copies of your face floating around Pennsylvania!
Thanks again for enriching our program.

Hastings Resumes Work
After Heart Surgery
Rested, recuperated andraringto
go, U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings
resumed full-time work at the
Capitol this week, three and a half
months after a quintuple heart
bypass operation.
Hastings had returned for part of
three days last month just before
Congress took its springrecess,but
Tuesday marked his return to a fulltime schedule.
" I feel well," Hastings said during an interview in his office. " I
have a full and clean bill of health
from the physicians."
The 57-year-old Democrat from
Miramar said he is walking two
miles a day and has enrolled in the
House's wellness program of monitored exercises and regular checkups.
He also has altered his diet to
avoid fat and concentrate on the
basic healthy food groups. After
surgery at the end of 1993, Hastings
was taking 16 different medications
daily. Now he is taking a cholesterol-reducing medication and an
aspirin a day.
" I feel better since my surgery
than I've felt in the last seven
years," he said.
Partly because of his surgery,
Hastings hopes to play a larger role
in health carereformwhen the bill
reaches the House floor. He supports President Clinton's proposal
and said he also likes a bill offered
by Rep. Pete Stark, D-CA, that
U.S. Rep. Alcee Hastings
would expand the Medicare program to cover those without insurrelated medical bills to cost him

about $12,000, or about 20 percent
Hastings expects his surgery and of the full cost of the procedure.
Health Reform Is Town Hall Topic

College, sharing infonnation with room rather than the doctor, or they
wait so long to seek attention for an
illness that they end up in the intensive-care unit, a costly alternative.
And although Clinton's plan might
provide everyone with a national
health card, that won't solve the problem, he said.
"We might assume by a person
having that card, they will have health

think there will be a rush of doctors
who want to go to Clewiston. So the
people in Clewiston will have that
card, but not necessarily access to

TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
FORT PIERCE — Some people had babies
on their minds. Others were thinking about
elderly citizens. Still others were focused on
minority populations.
Although everyone at a town meeting on
health-care reform Saturday had concerns
about specific groups, they all agreed that
the first step to improving health care is
making insurance available to everyone. But
that's only half the battle, they agreed.
"You can have a (health insurance) card,
but if you don't have a car, it doesn't matter
at all," said Dr. Juliette Lomax-Homier, a
Fort Pierce obstetrician/gynecologist.
More doctors need to be located in poor
urban and rural areas, and people need ways
to get to them, she said. Lomax-Homier was
one of many speakers at the three-hour
meeting hosted by U.S. Rep. Alcee L. Hastings, D-Florida, at Indian River Community
College.
Hastings described the debate on healthcare reform as a struggle of wills. •'Every
one of us wants the best possible medical
care that can be had for the specific problems we have as individuals, and we want
someone else to pay for it," he said.
But no matter what priorities people have,
most important is making health insurance
available to everyone. Hastings said about 37
million Americans are without insurance, 85
percent of whom are young, working families with children.
Another 22 million are inadequately insured, and each month, an additional 2 million Americans lose their health insurance
for some period of time. Meanwhile, costs
are escalating, leading to estimates that by
the year 2000, $1 out of every $5 earned will
be spent on health care.

Federal health-care reform ie likely to win congressional approval this year, but in a version considerably
scaled down from Rttsident Clinwn's proposed Health
Security Act
Tliat was the majority view Thursday among federal
and state officials p;irtidpating in a forum on health care.
'•We're not talking about whether we're going to
have health-eare reform, but what type we are going to
have," said Glenn H. Hutchins, a White House coordinator on health-care reform. "That is an enormous step
forward . . . something will happen this year " he said.
Hutchins spoke to about 300 persons attending the
Ohio Health Care Leadership Conference at the Hyatt
Regency.
comparison-shop.
"Most of the argument is over the 10 percent of
things on which we disagree," he said.
Virtually everyone agrees on the need to create
more competition among health-care providers to restrain the increasing share of the nation's economic
output consumed by the health-care industry, he said.
U.S. Reps. David L. Hobson, R-Springfiekl, and
Thomas C. Sawyer. D-Akron. agreed that some bill is
likely to win approval.
The Clinton plan is likely to be pared down so that, it
contains fewer dictates and more options for employers
and individuals, Sawyer said. "There won't be so much
specificity. . . . There will be a central backbone" that
sets out the goals of universal coverage, insurance
reform and tort reforni, he said.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Breakfast Forum, Christine Heenan, April 18, 1994
The Colorado Association of Nonprofit Organizations (CANPO) is a state-wide
associatic n representing nearly 800 nonprofit charitable organizations. It was our great pleasure
to be abli; to offer a forum explaining the Ginton Health Care Reform Plan. CANPO offered
the forum to CANPO members because of the nature of nonprofits stake in the determination
in Health Care Reform. Ms. Heenan's participation in this event was invaluable.
Over 50
attendees representing generally underrepresentedpopulations including children, homeless,
women, the elderly, those with disabilities and many others gained essential information
regarding Health Care Reform and its effect on nonprofits as employers and service providers.
All of the attendees praised Ms. Heenan's command of the information and her ability to address
their quentions with great clarity and expertise.
CANPO mailed notice of the event to all of our members and included it in all of the
literature sent to subscribers and members. An article detailing the presentation will also be
included in CANPO's newsletter which reaches over 5,000 people. The general press was
notified, jut was unable to attend as there was a large press conference concerning Lowry AFB
that conflicted with CANPO's event. Immediately following the forum many members stayed
to take part in a task force to discuss and closely follow the developments of Health Care
Reform end the subsequent effects the changes will have on nonprofits. We will be working
with our state's congressional representatives to make our concerns and ideas known
Please feel free to call me concerning any other questions you may have and
again, think you for this opportunity.

FAX NOTE TO SUSANNA WELLFORD
From Bob Van Hook
Here's the press report on one of the three town meetings that Rep. Peter Deutsch and I did
in the Keys. They were very positive meetings, and I think Deutsch was very happy. He
said the previous five town meetings he'd conducted were not satisfactory.
I'm also including a love note from Rep. Jim Bacchus.

about Clinton's plan. One beipg
that it might lead to health care
rationing for limited services.
The freshman representative
criticized television ads sponsored by the health insurance industry, which has stronly opposed most healthreformproposals. .,"The health insurance industry is being critical of the plan,"
Deutsch Said. "Sometimes irresponsibly critical, with total outright lies."
:
Deutsch said considering the
source; the ads shouldn't carry a
lot of weight
•'
•
'Twenty five percent of all
health care costs are administrative," Deutsch said. ."If you
wanted a system to be inefficient, v
you couldn't create one as good
as we have now."

the Gross National Product on

pay about half of their GNP, according to government sources.
"We're spending inore money

• Schroeder's Line in the Sand
Rep Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo) told the National Managed Health Care Congress last week that she
would not vote for any health carerefonnmeasure that does not treat women the same as men. "I
fear that we may not have the votes on the House floor for (Issues affecting) poor or older women.
All women could end up with less coverage than they have now," Schroeder said. The veteran lawmaker said she Is wotried that afinalbill will not give full access to women. Citing theratherlimited
Medicare prescription for mammography, she said, "It sounds like women are always demanding
one. Women are seen as not as stable aa men, and that they are always running to the doctor."
Schroeder added that there is a feeling among some legislators about having to be careful about what
services/coverage Congress "should let women have." Referring to abortion coverage, she said some
members favor "private insuranceforprivate parts." She noted that men's private parts are not
insured separately, and said she did not think that abortion or family planning services should be
treated differently. Schroeder serves on the House Aimed Services Committee, which has responsibility for military health care marten.

Dingell's Prediction
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell (D-Mlch) said he has a "feeling
that we will pass a bill" on health carereform.He told an audience at the National Managed Health
Care Congress last week that he hopes his panel will move this week on its compromise measure,
and that a bill would be on the House floor in June and go to a joint Congressional conference committee in July or August. The powerful lawmaker is head of one of several committees in the lower
chamber that has jurisdiction for health care reform legislation. Under his proposed committee plan,
small businesses with up to 10 employees would be exempt from the employer mandate, alliances
would be voluntary, universal coverage would be maintained, adjustments would be made to the benefit package, and subsidies would be included in a final bill.

CBO Pegs Cooper's "Clinton Lite Bill at an Extra $150 Billion
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), in a preliminary evaluation, has found that Rep Jim
Cooper's (D-Tenn) proposed health carereformbill would cost about $150 billion more over 6 years
than the lawmaker estimated Cooper isreportedto have said that he believes the CBO report underestimates the savingsfromincreased competition among physicians and hospitals. Cooper's plan
does not contain an employer mandate and does notrequiregovernment cost controls on health care
spending. In addition, the bill does not define a benefit package, making it vimially impossible to
estimate costs. Cooper's plan would be financed by a tax on benefits and by cuts in Medicare and
Medicaid.
• Grass-Roots Campaign Out, IY Ad In, and Celeste Resigns
The Democratic National Committee (DNQ has ditched plans for a grass-roots campaign targeted at
senior citizens to boost support for President Clinton's health care bill. Instead, a new TV ad campaign is underway. Richard Celeste, the former Ohio governor who joined the DNC torideherd on
the grass-roots operation, isreturningto his private consulting firm.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee and a House Education and Labor
subcommittee are expected to begin marking up health reform bills this week.
John Dingell (D-Mich), chairman of the Commerce Committee, thinks he's got
enough votes to get his health reform draft approved. His bill would give states the
power to cap health plan premium growth, and would require health plans to contract with essential community providers (See related story, p. 2).
Dingell told MC Whe hasn't taken a position yet on any-willing-provider provisions being pushed by the medical professioa or expansion of his essential-community-providerrequirement,a modification pushed by others CMCW 4/11/94, p. I j .
The amount of the employer mandate is a "negotiable point," he says.
Dingell hopes to have enough votes to start marking up his bill this week, have a
bill on the House floor in June, and go to House-Senate conference committee in
July and August.
Rep. Carlos Moorhead (R-Calif), ranking minority on the Commerce Committee,
told Dingell he won't "get a single Republican vote" during markup, Dingell says.

Large, Small Minn. Firms Save Money
Through Collective Use of POS Plans
Nine large businesses in Minneapolis-St. Paul that banded together to contain
health care costs in 1993 are finding their efforts worthwhile, as is a group of 100
small companies throughout Minnesota that collaborated for the same reason.
The large employers, members of the Business Health Care Action Group
(BHCAG), saved 11% of their health costs, or $5.9 million, by enrollir\g 45,000 workers into an individually self-funded point-of-service (POS) plan offered by HealthPartners, a merger of Group Health Inc. and MedCenters (MCW 7/13/92, p. 1).
Composite savings for the first year of the three-year deal were realized despite
the fact that only two of the nine partidpants offered the POS plan exclusively to
their 65,000 lives, says Fred Hamacher, BHCAG's chairman and vice president of
compensation and benefits at Dayton Hudson Corp. Most other employers offered
the POS plan along with indemnity plans, but dropped other HMOs.
Less than 1% of claims under HealthPartners' POS plan were for out-of-network
care, says Steve Wetzell, BHCAG's executive director.

7 Casualties Debate
as Reform
Intensifies
The powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman says the
level of required employer premium contributions is a "negotiable point." Maybe
that's one of the reasons John Dingell (D-Mich) thinks he's got the votes needed to
get his committee to approve his health reform bill.
Dingell hopes to have enough votes to start marking up his recently crafted reform bill the week of April 18, have a bill on the House floor in June, and go to
House-Senate conference committee in July and August, he told a National Managed Health Care Congress meeting April 12.
But a top health insurance lobbyist says neither Dingell nor Ways and Means
Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski (D-IH) will "go into markup without
knowing where the votes are. Neither likes to be surprised."
Dingell says his reform proposal was "received well" by Democratic committee
members, even though they faced intense small business opposition to the employer mandate during the Easter recess.
His draft, floated in late March, would exempt small employers with fewer
than 10 workers from the employer mandate. But it requires those firms to pay at
least a 1% payroll tax (IHCK 4/1/94, p. 7).
The committee chairman, who began talks with colleagues April 12, is making
ongoing revisions, and is putting the draft into legislative language. One thing is
certain: Ranking Republican Carlos Moorhead (R-Calif) has told Dingell "we're
not going to get a single Republican vote" for reform in committee.

Insurers Face 'Anti-Managed Care Laws'
In State, Federal Reform Proposals
For insurers the perils of the health reform battle are not limited to Washington.
Most state-based reform efforts contain two of the same onerous provisions that
lurk in the halls of Congress: price controls and any-willing-provider laws.
And state governments are moving at such rapid speeds many insurers are
spending a lion's share of their time trying to thwart efforts to impose what they
consider "anti-managed-care" laws.

Right now "the real action is at the state level," says Doug Freeman, CEO of
Medica] Benefits Mutual, a small Newark, Ohio-based insurance company with
50,000 covered lives. And that feeling is unanimous. Cigna official Randall Gerber
and Gary Fendler, director of Aetna's health issues committee, say state reform efforts are moving at "lightening speeds." All agree the daily minutia on Capitol
Hill is so fluid it's difficult to predict exactly what will emerge.

April 15.1994
Casualti s Mount as
Reform Debate Intensifies
Associations aren't the only ones taking hits over
health reform. Executives and lobbyists are losing their
jobs as groups maneuver to protect their turfs.
Dr. John Ball/ president of the American College of
Physicians, was the firsttoget scalped in 1994. The reason: He put the association squarely in the singlepayer camp. But it seems that reflected more his
preference than that of his board or even most of the
membership. His resignation, announced last month,
takes effect June 30.
On April 5, William Arehey, the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce's top lobbyist,returnedfrom vacation to
find himself jobleas. The reason: Archey's failure to
take a strong stand against Clinton's health reform
plan and his support of Clinton's employer mandate.
Next on the hit list, sources say: Gerald Mossinghoff, president of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturer's
Assn. PMA is undergoing a board-mandated restructuring, and expects to hire a senior level executive to
lead PMA's Capitol Hill assault (IHCR 1/15/94, p. 4).
Sources say this person willreplaceMossinghoff when
his contract expires later this year.
PMA is also lowering its profile. Its annual four-day
confab, scheduled this year for Scottsdale, Ariz., has
been cut in half and shifted to Washington. The reason:
Executives don't want to be seen as spending lavishly
on themselves while fighting Rx drug price controls. O
Public Out of Loop on Reform
It's the biggest and most important policy debate
since Social Security. It involves restructuring one-seventh of the nation's economy. It ranks as one of the
most analyzed and highly covered social policy issues
in history.
But politicians take note: The average American
isn't involved in healthreform.In fact, despite massive
media coverage, the average American doesn't even
know the details of what's being discussed, let alone
where his or her elected official stands on the issue.
And when the public gets information, it gets it
mostly from paid special interest ads.
These conclusions come from the Kaiser Family
Foundation's latest survey of public attitudes on reform. Kaiser polled the public from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30,
1993, a significant period in the debate.
People are talking about health reform. Kaiser

with their representatives' views, and aren't becoming
politically active in the debate.
Where are people getting their information? Few
peoplereportseeing new coverage of reform in the media. Most see, read, or hear about it in paid ads, sponsored by the Health Insurance Assn. of America and
the American Medical Assn. •
Dingell Ready for Markup
continued from p. 1
So Dingell is playing hard-ball politics with Democratic colleagues to get the votes, he later told IHCR.
Sources say he's focusing on the panel's six swing
votes: Reps. Jim Slattery (D-Kan), Rick Boucher (D-Va),
Richard Lehman (D-Calif), Lynn Schenk (D-Calif), Marjorie Margolles-Mezvinsky (D-Pa), and Blanche Lambert (D-Ark). He doesn't expect votes from two
Democratic membera—pure managed competition
sponsor Jim Cooper (D-Tenn) or incremental reform
sponsor J. Roy Rowland (D-Ga) (IHCR 3/15/94, p. 6).
What's not negotiable to Dingell: universal coverage, freedom of provider choice, security, a fair financing mechanism, and economic soundness. Fair financing means Medicare-Medicaid savings, employer-employee contributions, and cigarette taxes, he says.
While a top insurance industry lobbyist predicts
Congress will be forced to redefine "universal coverage" to mean 95% by the year 2005-2010, Dingell told
IHCR that universal coverage "in the dictionary means
covering everybody. ..100%." A congressional staffer
adds, "universal coverage will not be redefined...there
is a left, you know."
Dingell told IHCR he doesn't know how long
markup will take. But "we have a highly intelligent
committee that follows their chairman and I think they
will do that" onreform."If everyone thinks they can
beat this thing in committee, they better think again,"
he predicts. Even the insurance industry lobbyist believes Dingell will get the 23 votes needed to pass an
employer mandate.
Meanwhile, the House Ways and Means Committee
will consider the reform bill OK'd by Rep. Pete Stark's
(D-CaliO Health Subcommittee (IHCR 4/1/94, p. 3)
around May 1. While Chairman Rostenkowski is "not
wedded to mandates, he still wants universal coverage, health care cost containment, and 218 votes. Other
than that, everything is negotiable," a staffer says.
The House Education and Labor Committee's Labor-Management Relations Subcommittee has tentatively set markup for April 20 on Clinton's and
single-payer legislation. ^

how to take the best care oi themselves during thia critical time, she
explained.
Under the apparel maker's prenatal program, employees are encouraged to attend prenatal education
classes offered at each plant. Haggar
offers the u/«ll-known "Babies and
You" program through the March of
Dimes, and employees can receive
an infant cv seat or booster seat for
attending five sessions.
Ma. Hunt explained the company's attitude: "The more education
we can impart, the better off we all
will be."
"These classes allow our people to
leam what questions to aak
doctors. And, the doctors appreciate
it because theirtimewith patients is
limited,"
Prenatal education is especially
important for Haggar's employees,
she said, because the majority are
not tamiliar with good prenatal card
practices.

An uncompctUive health insurance indusiry is leading to unfair

the Clinton health care reform plan
s:ijd Monday.
They don't have lo compete ..

to insure riskier patients

"We

she said.
Bailey said the situation has emd

live in the global market since the
United States is one of lhe few conn
tries that doesn't guarantee some
sort of health care coverage.
For instance, she said, about
$1,100 of the cost of an Americanmade car goes lo health care, but m
Japan the amount is about one-half
that.
She lold an audience of 3W people
at the banquet that the prob •
stems from a heaiih care philosophy that has changed since her father was a doctor in South Dakota.
"He gave good medicine at a
good price;' she said. "... The problem is, that's really gone "
Bailey said corporations and the
health insurance industry have
laken over health care matters,
leaving the doctors and Iheir patients with little control

Health
care refonn plan will cul out tbe
"insurance bureaucracy" and bring
people closer to Iheir doctors, she
said.
She said despite aiiegatians to the
contrary, people will not lose their
ability to choose their doctor under
Clinton's pian.
Many
cerporations already
decide what doctors their employ
ees can go to, she said, but the Clinton plan will change the situation
and let individuals choose.
Bailey is a psychiatrist on the
staff at the Georgetown University

School of Medicine. She said she
volunteered to travel around the
country speaking on behalf of the
Clinton plan.
Bailey said 37 million U.S.citizens, including about 180,000 in
Montana, are uninsured.
About,9e percent of those who are
insured receive their insurance
from their employers, she said
She said of the businesses that do
offer insurance, 62 percent have
fewer than 500 employees and are
considered "small businesses."
"As il stands now," Bailey said.
"the deck is stacked against small
businesses."
She said the smaller businesses
often pay up to 35 percent more
than the major corporations.
"The small businesses of Ameri
ca are realty being left on an uneven playingfield,"she said.
Bailey said one of the goals of the
Clinion plan is to make the health
care situation fair for the smaller
employers.
Health care today "ts really leaving (small businesses) incredibly
disadvantaged," she said.
Gay
shak said.
He cited same-sex marriages,
gays in the military and the AIDS
virus as examples of current homosexual issues that are making news
Gonshak said the class will be a
discussion course and students will
be graded on backing up their conclusions in papers, and will not be
graded on their opinions.
"I will let them express themselves and no one will be intimi
daled into not having their own
opinion," be said. "I'm sure there
will be a range of views, including
students who oppose homosexuality
because of religious beliefs "
- C o n t i n u M l f r o m Page A l
The professor said the students
he has talked to who have signed up
for his course are driven by curiosity.
In response to Crenshaw's criticism, Gonshak said the issue cen
lered around freedom of speech and
academic freedom. He said none of
the students are forced to take the
class, and teachers should be able
to address important issues of Ihe
day.
Gonshak also extended an invitation lo Crenshaw to come lo the
class to voice his opinion Crenshaw
said he was not interested.
Waring, who has fielded one
phone call and one letter in opposition to the course, said the Tech administration backs the class.
"The mission of every educational instition is to teach tolerance of
other people's ideas and beliefs," he
said. "If they can find enough students interested, that's line."
Newell said students have until
thefirstday of tbe class. May 23, to
sign up. It's possible more students
wil] register because most students
are taking finals and have nol yet
made their summer plans, she said.
If more than JO students take the
class it will make money for Tech,
Waring said.

Health
reforms:
how much
change?
HARRISBURG (AP) - Congress will pass "something we can
call health care reform" this
year, but it will be far less comprehensive than President Clinton's plan, the county's two Republican legislators said Monday.
An administration official
countered that the president
won't settle for a plan that goes
halfway.
U S. Reps. Bob Walker and
George Gekas, both Republicans,
have long called the Clinton plan
bureaucratic, restrictive to consumers and burdensome to business.
But they said political pressure
dictates some congressional action.
"As the process moves forward,
panic will set in the political system sometime this summer when
a lot of congressmen say, 'We
have to pass anything called
health reform — I don't care what
it looks like, just pass something
called health reform, " Walker
said.
Walter Zelman, a senior White
House health adviser, said mere
incremental changes won't be
enough.
"There is a danger if Congress
acts incrementally, or takes a
half-step, it will be a half-step to
nowhere," Zelman said. "We must
bite the bulletOThow to pay for
universal coverage."
They spoke at a health reform
conference at Harrisburg Area
Community College.
Walker predicted .Clinton
would sign a Dill even if it doesn't
immediately promise universal
coverage to all Americans.
Zelman disagreed, saying Clinton will not endorse anything that
falls short of guaranteeing all
Americans health insurance that
"can never be taken away."
Zelman accused the plan's opponents of disseminating misinformation. Contrary to reports
that the plan amounts to socialized medicine, Zelman said it
would continue to let the private

bipartisan support to pass "the

•
Advocates and opponents of President Clinton's
hcalth-carcreformproposal battled it out in Columbus
yesterday over issues such as whether employers should
:be forcedtopay for their workers' insurance.
Meanwhile, at a forum sponsored by the Health
Coalition of Central Ohio, state offidals indicated they
hope the federal government doesn't gwt in the way of id
."plans.
I
Sean Sullivan, president of the National Business
Coalition on Health, predidtvl "employer mandates"
won't survive a congressional compromLsc.
He said most employers, particularly small-business
I owners, are againxt such mamlates because it would be
too expensive and tlwy resent losing contocA over whaL
thqr choc«\ to pay workore.
•
However, Dr. Sue Bailey, a senior spokeswoman for
-the Democrat National Committee's National Health
Care Campaign, said moot small businesses already pay
Jar health .Imurana'. Mandated, coverage would merely
"level the playingfield"and build on the prfeent health-care delivery systun, where nine out of 10 people receive
benefits through their jobs, she said.
Sullivan responded that the present system is
: voluntary, and lhat it would he wrong to move to a
• mandatory avstenji.
Although the conventional wisdom Is that Congress
.will pass some type of health-care refonn this year,
•Sullivan — whose organization represents 85 local
•business coalitions around the country, including centra]
Ohio's — aaid he isn't sure Congras will ad at all.
!
If heultli-care refonp boils down a partisan battle.
Oongreais will stalemate over the issue even though
Democrats control the House and the Senate, he said.
Bailey disagreed, saying she bdiuves Congress fa
heading for a consensus on significantreforms,including
employer mandates.
"We have to have shared responsibility between
employers and employees," Bailey said, " I feel that will
be part of lhe bill."
Sullivan told reporters that his group favors bask;
insurance and malpractiw reforms and federal subsidies
to help Uie working poor biiy insurance.
He said mandates should be eonsiderwl "down the
road" if marketreformsdon't, work.
Bailey told reporters Sullivan would leave millions
"out in the cold" while "we wait yeaj-s for hi* system to
Lak» effet"
Dr. Peter Somani, state heallh director, also participated in the panel discussion willi Bailey and Sullivan, as
did Arnold Tompkins, state Human Services director,
and Winifred Odo, head of Hawaii's Medicaid program.
Somani said refonn should be largely eft to stale
and local government and said he hopes the federal
government's version of health-eare reform doesn't
mean "unfunded mandates."

of those types of etate initiatives.
That was seconded by Odo, whose state is the only
one that requires all employers to pay for insurance for

Some things to change,
some not at HCA Wesley
Services to be consolidated for ambulatory surgery /
By Anne Fitzgerald
The Wichita Eagle
Gordon Funk, spokesman for
HCA Wesley Medical Center in
Wichita, spent two days last week in
Atlanta at a meeting of marketing
and media-relations types working
for Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp,
parent company of Wesley and the
nation's largest health care provider
organization.
Funk says he doesn't expect many
changes in Wesley's marketing efforts. In markets where Columbia/HCA has a greater presence,
such as Florida or Texas, the company's hospitals will pool their resources to get vendors to lower
prices for printing, advertising and
other services.
But for now, Funk said, Wesley Is
in a market all its own, and there
are no plans to change its arrangements with local printers or its advertising agency, Sullivan, Higdon &
Sink Inc., a Wichita agency that has
done work for Wesley since 1985.
Local networks — Last week's
Wesley employee newsletter included a column by Richard Scott, president and CEO of Columbia/HCA,
who tooted his company's horn, noting that it recently had been ranked
51st in Business Week's listing of the
1,000 most valuable U.S. companies.
Scott also mentioned that Columbia/HCA would be opening offices
in Chicago, Louisville, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix and our neighbor up
the Turnpike, Kansas City, Mo.
The impetus? "To fulfill our strategy of developing locally managed
networks of quality health care services," wrote Scott.
Network grows — Wesley's
network keeps increasing
You may recall that earlier this
year the hospital purchased Total
Home Care, provider of health services, medical equipment and oxygen, and IV therapy to patients in
their homes.
This week, today, in fact, Wesley
opens a new ambulatory surgery
unit within the hospital that will
streamline outpatient surgery services and expand Wesley's reach
into an area of services growing like
a weed in a rainy summer.
Wesley has spent about $500,000
to renovate space on the fifth floor
of the hospital, where outpatient services will be consolidated, saving patients from having to wander
uiiougliout tlie liospital for X-rays,
blood tests and the actual surgery.
Hospital officials considered
building a separate outpatient surgery center elsewhere on the campus but dismissed that idea as too
expensive, said Mitch Mitchell, chief
operating officer at Wesley.
It also would • have taken too
much time to accomplish, he said.
The hospital has no
plans to change its
marketing efforts.
the feasibility of physician-owned
HMOs, there is keen interest in thflt
approach to health care delivery.
The Garvey Group helped the
Connecticut State Medical Society
develop a statewide HMO owned
and operated by physicians. Formed
in the late '80s, it is now the second
largest HMO in Connecticut and 80
percent of the physicians in the
state participate.
The group did a study in 1993 in
New Jersey and found that 70 percent of the physicians there wanted
to join a physician-owned HMO.
That survey also showed that half
of the physicians now participating
in managed care programs in the
state were unhappy with them, in
large part because of decisions being made by people who were not
health care professionals.
The newly renovated unit can accommodate 52 patients at a time but
will be able to handle more patients
on any given day, because most of
the services they need are now in
one spot
Last week, Wesley confirmed that
it was buying two of Galichia Medical Group's laboratories, including
its outpatient Heart Center.
Joseph Galichia, a Wichita cardiologist and owner of one of the largest multispecialty group practices in
Kansas, said the two parties were
discussing additional arrangements.

An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act.

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

MEMORANDUM FOR DISTRIBUTION
FROM:
Mike Lux and Debbie Fine
SUBJECT:
Summary of Allied Group Field Activities
Attached is an update of allied group activities in selected districts in the field. Much of the
coalitional activity revolved around the Robert Wood Johnson NBC Special on June 21st,
including house watch parties that in many cases generated press around local people in
attendance with compelling stories. Call-ins to Members' offices demanding universal
coverage for the two days following the show were also organized. In addition, many allied
organizations sent out urgent action alerts asking their membership toflooddistrict offices
with demands for universal coverage.
Although the pressure continues to build in the field, much energy has focused on
Washington D.C. because of the perceived threat to universal coverage.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

unjversal coverage and an employer mandate in whatever health care reform bill
emerges from Washington, D.C, in the next few
weeks, labor unions and their allies have been
pressing every button they can find.
There have been the tried and true methods:
protests, such as one in front of Pizza Hut restaurants a few weeks ago to pressure parent company
PepsiCo to stop fighting the employer mandate;
and phone banks to rouse rank-and-file activists
and ensure their voices are heard.
And there have been innovations as well. The
AFL-CIO is paying for toll-free numbers routed 10
the offices of fence-sitting congressmeq, inducing
Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis ). Arid the United Steelworkers have hauled cellular phones into union
shops so union members can call Washington during theirbreaks.
"It's really an all-out campaign,"- said Bruce
Colburn, secretary-treasurer of the Milwaukee
County Labor Council.'
Labor has been calling for health care reform for
years, stung at the bargaining table by soaring
health care costs that have eroded benefits and held
down wapes. Now, as the shape of a federal heahh
reform plan changes daily, almost hourly, unions
want to make sure their bottom-line principles
don't get tossed aside: universal coverage, requiring
all or almost all employers to pay for coverage, and
not raxing health care benefits.
What had been the leading House bill, sponsored
by Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, won uniform support in a Ubor-led health care reform
coalition here, said Candice Owley. president of the
Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professional!
its attention in Wisconsin mostly
to Democrats: Kohl and Rep
Peter Barca.
At the Wisconsin State Fair
and on Milwaukee County Transit buses, labor-sponsored balloons and signs call on voters to
call their members of Congress
asking for health care as good as
the congressional benefits package. Visitors to the Labor Council's state fair booth are handed
post cards to send to the Capitol
with a similar message.
Throughout the campaign,
which began last winter, labor
has reached beyond its own
The proposal by Senate Majority Leader Geoi^c Mitchell,
introduced last week, is proving
more problematic. It puts off
employer mandates and settles
for covering 95% of American*
rather than 100%.
"So the focus is on what we
can jet out of
the Senate and
how good we
can make it,"
Owley said.
The admittedly
"chancy strategy." said Colbum, is to either strengthen
Mitchell's bill
in the Senate or OWLEY
later in a conference committee, by conforming it to Gephardt's bill once that
one passes the House.
In the meantime, labor is
working to keep the heat on.
Unliie last year's unsuccessful
battle to defeat the North Ameri
can Free Trade Agreement, in
which labor here targeted Reps
Tom Petri and Toby Roth, both
Wisconsin Republicans, in hopes
of turning their votes, the health
care reform coalition has turned
ranks. The union coalition includes a handful of small business owners, along with members of groups ranging from
Planned Parenthood to the National Association of Social
Workers.

United Food & Commercial
Workers Local 1444, flew to
Washington last week with an
executive of Kohl's Food Stores
to buttonhole Herb Kohl, the
senator whose fortunes were
built by the grocery chain years
ago.
Welch said his union, repre-
senting grocery store workers,
and Kohl's management were
natural allies on the issue of
keeping an employer mandate.
The union has calculated that 30
cents out of every dollar the
union negotiates in health benefits covers the health costs of
others with no insurance

Saturday that the Senate will pass a
health-care bill that is "very close to the
Senate Finance Committee's bill that
avotds employer mandates.
"Dunng the next three weeks there
will be ferocious debate," Kerrev said
after a town hall meeting at the Kiewit
Conference Center. About 110 people
attended.
The Finance Committee bill does not
require employers to share in the cost of
providing heallh insurance for their
workers.
Kerrey said the Finance Committee
bill's emphasis on the private marketilace would produce the best healthcare
or Americans in the long run and would
significantly reduce the number of uninsured Americans.
"Shopping for heallh care is not like
shopping for groccnes," Kerrey said.

�Lieberman stand

They doled out yellow, oversized SIOO bills sporting Lieberman's photo, and charged that
the senator "sold his soul" by

Throughout the protest, as

"We've got to do something

influence his vote. Lieberman
should be listening to Ihe people,
said Squires, who is unemployed
and has no heallh insurance.
James Kennedy, a spokesman for ihe senator, said attempts lo talk to the protesters
were unsuccessful, and Ihe group
was not interested in meeting
with the staff member following
health care. He said only a small
percentage of Lieberman's campaign war chest came from
health care special interests, and
the donors had varied points of

"Pizza Hut is serving hypocrisy
and greed," Krifka says. "Hypocrisy because Pizza Hut is actively
lobbying against giving tbeir

Gennaa wotiters get Greed because this huge naultuabooal corporaooo made $372 miUioo in
profits and it's unwilling to spend
less than SI.00 per hour more to
coothbuie to the coat of coveting
their employees' health care in the
U.S."
The cause for Krrfka's conmenu and a sidewalk protest in
front oi'a Pizza Hutfranchiseon
Wisconsin Ave. m Racine was the
release of a new report by The
Health Care Refonn Project "Do
As We Say. Not As We Do" addresses how companies like Pizza
Hut aad McDonald's practice a
double standard when it comes to
connributing to health insunuicc.
They oppose univenal coverage
and the mecbatusm which would
achieve such pratecdon mtbe U. S.,
to "eitherraiseprices, which will
lead to a faJloff m sales and eventually lost jobs, or climinaia jobs at
the stan."
Advocates of univenal coverage quickly point to Pizza Hufs

"If Pizza Hut can pay (br health

asks, "why can't they do the same
in America?"
Evidence provided by the Health
Caie Refonn Project strongly suggest thai they can indeed do the
same. For example, in Gennany. a
country with empioycr-mandtted
health iasunnce, Pizza Hut is required to pay SO perceot of its
employees praniums. In Japan,
they're required to pay 50 potent

Ginton plan an Rx for state
F YOU think health c«re reform is an issue limited to
Washinfton insiders, look
at what's happening to our own
state budget as a result of (he
current health care crisis.
Over the past decade, state
government has increasingly become the heallh care safety net
for inw-mmmr families, disabled Americans and many senior
citizens. The state share of Medicaid role from $495 million to
$811 million in only five years,
lapping state dollars needed for
education, crime-fighting, economic development and other
important programs.
Yet even with all this spend-.
ing/feealth coverage is still a
dream for a growing number of
suit residents. Between 1988
and 1993, the number of uninsured people rose from 416,000
to 340,000 — a 25% increase.
One-quarter of these are children

problemi If Congress doesn't aa,
more than one in four Americans will have no insurance for
some time each year. On any given day, 39 million people have
no coverage, and another 22 million have coverage so thin that
if it were a blanket, they'd freeze.
At the same time, heallh care
costs are taking a huge and rising
bite out of family income. In
1980, health payments per Wisconsin family totaled $2,788. By

Madison), have been pushing the
Cooper-Chatee plan, which
would cover 91% of America
without asking employers to

taxpayers to provide huge subsidies for health care that is rightfully the responsibility of employers with the ability to pay.

IN MY
OPINION
Judy Robson
estimates that under this plan,
22.000 Wisconsinites would lose
insurance each month.
In contrast to the situation in
Japan. Germany and every other
advanced industrialized nation,
this plan would have middleclass Americans continue to bail
out multibillion-dollar businesses like Pizza Hut and McDonald's, which provide minimal or
no insurance to most of their
employees and dependents. At
the same time, they continue to
subject us to a game of health
care Russian roulette, dreading
the possibility that we might become ill and uninsured at the
same time.
NIVERSAL coverage is
the only way to guarantee
that costs are controlled
and thai financing health care is
fair and responsible. Citizen action is required to break the congressional gridlock. And that
means you. If they don't succeed
in Washington, they will fail us
in Wisconsin.
$7,012. If Congress doesn't take
strong action to contain costs,
spending will almost double
again, to $12,387, by the year
2000. That's what I would call
a crisis.
If Congress accepted the president's plan as proposed, in the
year 2000, when health care
costs are reined in and all Americans covered, Wisconsin employers would save $690 million.
Their employees would save
$249 million. State taxpayers
would save $509 million on
Medicaid, state employee benefits and long-term care over what
we would spend if nothing is
done.

Health care flaws
As our nation meanders Into
the 2l9t rfniury, we face the novel prospect of an American health
policy based on something other
than the lack of one.
The public interest Is well
served by any editorials or analysis which attempt — In good faith
— to argue for or against a given
diiTclion in health policy.
Unfortunately. The Star s editorial of July 12 was not an exampic of good faith point-making
The arguments used here were
duely old thing*, really — arguments which have long been disrmined and which are no longer
used by those honestly concerned
about the well-being of out naiiun.
although they are still used by
P R. hacks and other lieallh industry functionaries.
Ftnt and foremost among these
arguments was the view that our
health system only has certain
Haws and that, presumably, only
"certain" people are affected by
them.
The cost of health care affects
all Americana at all ttitw Americans payforthe cost of health

Equally misleading Is the argument that health refonn will pro |
duee more bureaucracy. The ungle-payer approach, which
continues lu gain momentum
among consumer, labor and business interests, would eliminate
675 to 6100 bllUon every year In
administrative waste.
The single-pny*'- option would
make heallh insurance a not-forprofit enterprise. Each state would
select a single Insurer, which
would be paid a lump sum to
make sure that health care bills
get paid, not rejected

edge because at the cost of providing health insurance would no longer wash, since all companies
would have the same business expense. Small businesses, of course, should get help to defray the cost
and the government should provide health benefits
for the unemployed.
In addiboo. a fair health plan would provide quality
and choice, so that everyone is offered a basic bene
fits package and everyone could choose their heallh
provider. Also, insurance companies must no longer
gel away with abuses, such as denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions or severe illnesses
Itese reasonable elements should form the basis of
any health care reform package It would be a fair
aod comprehensive package — and would not in any
way create a government sponsored heallh system

the ton the health care crises takes on our nation's
children Students are coming to school with physical
and emotional problems that often go undiagnosed or
untreated because their families have inadequate or
no insurance Many kids doo't see a doctor even once
during a year. Sometimes children's only source of
health care is a school nurse - and many districts
are eliminating those positions A sick child ts a poor

current cost of health care is exploding m Montana

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

�MEMORANDUM
To:
Leon Panetta
From:
Mark Gear an
Harold Ickes
Subject:
Free Media Plan to Coincide with National Advertising
Date:
August 3,1994
As you know, beginning tomorrow, we will begin airing a series of two minute
spots of the President to camera, having a discussion with the American people about health
care. We are billing this as the days leading up to the most important vote on the issue in
50 years.
Because the buy itself will be inadequate to reach the people we need to reach, this
strategy depends largely on our ability to build on the spots with free media. The schedule
below outlines our plan to maximize free media during the first few days~the opening
salvo-of the 2 minute spots.
By early next week, interest in the ads will fade. If we are to keep, attention
focussed on these spots, we need to consider using spots starting Monday to actually make
news. We have suggestions on this and will discuss this with you in person.

Assignments for Health Care
July 30
Thank you for your recommendations for health care activities over the next few
weeks. I have discussed the proposals with the President, Mrs. Clinton, and Leon Panetta.
To ensure that we accomplish all of the items on our ambitious list, I am distributing the
attached schedule of activities which specifies the person responsible for each assignment.
Please review the list carefully. If the wrong person has been assigned responsibility for
an event, please let Dwight Holton know so the appropriate correction can be made. In
cases where the activity has not yet been approved by your principal, please let Dwight
know immediately if you anticipate a problem.
Please keep me apprised of the status of activities for which you are responsible, and
feel free to make further suggestions. If you have any questions, please call Dwight at 62976.
Thanks again.
[NOTE: these assignments are not meant to be all-inclusive, but reflect only activities

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>

fighting to keep universal coverage and an employer mandate in whatever health care reform bill
emergci from Washington, D.C, in the next few
weeks, labor unions and their allies have been
pressing every button they can find.
There have been the tried and true methods:
protests, such as one in front of Pizza Hut restaurants a few weeks ago to pressure parent company
PepsiCo to stop fighting the employer mandate;
and phone banks to rouse rank-ana-file activists
and ensure their voices are heard.
And there have been innovations as well The
AFL-CIO is paying for toll-free numbers routed to
the ofltces of fence-sitting congressmen, inducting
Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.). Arid the United Steelworkers have hauled cellular phones into union
shops so union members can call Washington during theirbreaks.
,
"It's really an all-out campaign,"-said Bruce
Colburn, secretary-treasurer of the Milwaukee
County Labor Council. *
Labor has been calling for health care reform for
years, stung at the bargaining table by soaring
health care costs that have eroded benefits and held
down wages. Now, as the shape of a federal health
refonn pun changes daily, almost hourly, unions
want to make sure their bottom-line principles
don't get tossed aside: universal coverage, requiring
all or almost all employers to pay for coverage, and
not taxing health care benefits.
What had been the leading House bill, sponsored
by Majority Leader Richard Gephardt, won uniform support in a labor-led health care reform
coalition here, said Candice Owley. president of the
Wisconsin Federation of Nurses and Health Professionals.
its attention in Wisconsin mostly
to Democrats: Kohl and Rep
Peter Barca.
At the Wisconsin State Fair
and on Milwaukee County Transit buses, labor-sponsored balloons and signs call on voters to
call their members of Congress
asking for health care as good as
the congressional benefits package. Visitors to the Labor Council's state fair booth are handed
post cards to send to the Capitol
with a similar message.
Throughout the campaign,
which began last winter, labor
has reached beyond its own
The proposal by Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell,
introduced last week, is provmg
more problematic. It puts off
employer mandates and settles
for covering 95% of American*,
rather than 100%.
"So the focus is on what we
can get out of
the Senate and
how good we
can make it,"
Owley said.
The admittedly
"chancy strategy," said Colburn, is to either strengthen H£fj£S£iHPl
Mitchell's bill j r ? ™
in the Senate or V " * *
later in a conference committee, by conforming it to Gephardt's bill once that
one passes thc House.
In the meantime, labor is
working to keep the heat on.
UnltJce last year's unsuccessful
battle to defeat the North Ameri

which labor here targeted Reps
Tom Petri and Toby Roth, both
Wisconsin Republicans, in hopes
of turning their votes, the health
care reform coalition has turned
ranks. The union coalition includes a handful of small business owners, along with members of groups ranging from
Planned Parenthood to the National Association of Social
Workers.
Dan Welch, president of the
United Food & Commercial
Workers Local 1444, flew to
Washington last week with an
executive of Kohl's Food Stores
to buttonhole Herb Kohl, the
senator whose fortunes were
built by the grocery chain years
ago.
Welch said his union, repre-
r

i
senting grocery store workers,
and Kohl's management were
natural allies on the issue, of
keeping an employer mandato.
The union has calculated that 30
cents out of every dollar the
union negotiates in health benefits cover* the health costs of
others with no insurance.
"Every negotiation our employers raise the issue of competition," Welch said, including
from non-union chains that
don't pay benefits. "This is an
opportunity for our members to
get involved directly to level that
playing field so wc don't face this
issue in bargaining all the time."

Lieberman's health care stand makes no sense
Andrew A Feinstein
Joseph I. Lieberman has traditionally
been a senator of unusual intellectual
honesty. His independent positions
have been difficult to assail becauM
(hey were supported by clear logic With
that hlrtory, Lieberman's confuted, illogical stance on health care is parttcu:
(aily appalling
In hi* oped article of Aug. ISf'Here't
exactly where I stand on health care reform "J. Ueberman says he believes thai
"universal coverage must becvme a primary goal of our health can system."
There are three, and only three, ways
that univenal coverage can be achieved
First, Congress could make government
the sole health Insurer, collecttng premiums through taxes and condolllng coats
by establishing the fair charge for each
procedure. Ueberman opposes this single-payer model, as does President Clinton, believing it creafes too large a rale
for government.
Second, Congress could require every
American to buy his or her own health
tnsurafice, providing iubsidles to those
who cannot afford the coat. Although
Sen John H Chafee, R-R.I., has proposed legislation with such a requirement, his bill does not provide the billions in subsidies needed to pay the
premiums for those who cannot afford
them. Moreover. Connecticut's record

With such shared respoosibilicy.
Pizza Huts' Germanrevenuesbetween l9S9and 1991 grew by 314

Among Liebennan's concerns is

YOUR TURN
Every job must come with health benefits at least
partially paid by employers Most large businesses
aod many small business owners now provide health
benefits because they get more productive, loyal
workers in return for their small investment The argument that a company would lose its competitive
edge because of the cost of providing health insurance would no longer wash, since all companies
would have the same business expense. Small businesses, of course, should gel help to defray tbe cost
and the government should provide health benefits
for the unemployed.
In additkm, a fair health plan would provide quality
and choice, so that everyone is offered a basic bene
fits package and everyone could choose their health
provider. Also, insurance companies must no longer
get away with abuses, such as denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions or severe illnesses
These reasonable elements should form the basis of
any health care reform package It would be a fair
and comprehensive package — and would not in any
way create a government sponsored heallh system
Teachers and other school employees see firsthand
the toll the health care crises lakes on our nation's
children Students are coming to school with physical
and emotional problems that often go undiagnosed or
untreated because their families have inadequate or
no insurance Many kids doo't see a doctor even once
during a year. Sometimes children's only source of
health care is a school nurse - and many districts
are eliminating those positions A sick child ts a poor
learner. We must ensure that all Americans — including the very young — can be guaranteed health care.
Slate and local government employees see how the
budget crunch squeezes money from important programs that are in dire need of greater funding The
current cost of heallh care is exploding m Montana
and every other state If the healih care system was
reformed with adequate cos I controls, more money
would be available for programs currently denied suf
ficient funds
Health care employees are frustrated by the lack of
insurance coverage for preveatabve care, including
immtauutions for our young children They are frustrated by insurance practices like lifetime limits and
the denial of coverage to those who need it most
CONGRESS MUST A I T promptly and appropri
alely to fix the broken health care system so that people in Montana and elsewhere around the country will
never have to worry about adequate health insurance
when they want preventative care or when they get
sick or injured

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
t
I am the current President of the New England Surgical Society, an organization of
community and academic surgeons from the entire New England area. We have over 500 members
who are vitally interested in thejfuture directions of delivery of health care. It is the desire of our
organization to be helpful in the process and to contribute what we can to the smooth implementation
of the changes in progress.
In order for us to be knowledgeable and to act responsibly, we ask your help in
understanding the directions that the Clinton administration would have us take. Our Annual
Meeting will be held September 30 through October 2, 1994 in Newport, Rhode Island. We would
be most pleased if we can persuade you to attend that meeting and to participate either by addressing
us or by participating in a symposium on health care delivery. One of our members is Robert
McAfee of South Portland, Maine, who is the President-elect of the American Medical Association
and who would be willing to interact in such a symposium if you consider that desirable. It is my
intent to have a major legislator also in participation.
I hope you will give serious consideration to my invitation. I look forward to hearing from
you.
Yours truly,
Andrew L. Warshaw, M.D.
President, New England Surgical Society

out 10th anni-wjersary i n the s t a t e c a p i t o l , A u s t i n .
Our anniversary conference happens a t an opportune time: (1)
September marks the anniversary date on which President C l i n t o n
presented your h e a l t h carq; plan t o the United States Congress,
and (2) our conference e f f o r t s can help t o form the decisions
made by the Texas Legislatjure which w i l l go i n t o i t s 74th session

f o r the 3 m i l l i o n Texans wjho are uninsured and the 3.4 m i l l i o n

Rural Texas represents i n microcosm the problems i n h e a l t h care

represent us and care what happens t o us.
C i t i z e n s of r u r a l Texas corhmu^-Lties—businessmen, farmers,
ranchers, p r o v i d e r s - ^ a l l need t o know what h e a l t h care reform
means t o them and f o r them.

"Without access lo (the Consortium's) centralized comprehensive data base, researchers would face the
virtually impossible task of creating its equal from many sources at considerable expense in both time and
money."
RICHARD H. EGDAHL, M.D.
Director, Boston University Health Policy Institute
"The Consortium is one ofthe few such health data banks in the country where we could obtain the data
we needed to refine our strategic planning process and more effectively analyze the changing use patterns
of patients in our service area. Without the Consortium, we would have had to rely on less-specific, nonpopulation based data to educate our constituents."
ROBERT R. FANNING, JR.
President, Beverly Hospital
"In the past, we have used MHDC data primarily in the preparation of Determination of Need
applications, for comparative utilization studies, andfor service area definitions. The Consortium offers
a highly valuable and reliable resource for planning, analysis and evaluation of today's complex health
care scene. We in Massachusetts are fortunate to have it."
JEROME H. GROSSMAN, M.D.
President, New England Medical Center Hospital
"The Consortium is the most capable, independent organization to carry out the sensitive work of helping
the business community evaluate the quality, cost and accessibility ofthe state's health care system."
DONALD R. MELVILLE
Former Chairman and President, Norton Company
"The Health Data Consortium is a well-known name among credit analysts in the investment community.
The Consortium is viewed as a reliable source of information for the market share analyses for investors."
EDWARD M. MURPHY
Mass. Health & Educational Facilities Authority
"The Consortium is a unique resource for Massachusetts. The Consortium can provide valuable
information in these dynamic times, when change is inevitable and adequate data become more important
than ever for making wise decisions."
H. RICHARD NESSON, M.D.
President, Brigham and Women's Hospital
"What is so exciting to me is that the Consortium has successfully become self-sufficient by sharing the
costs of services among member organizations... The Massachusetts Health Data Consortium is one ofthe
few such health data brokers in the country that provide all-inclusive statewide data on hospital
discharges."
DOROTHY P. RICE

The HEALTH DATA CONSORTIUM was founded in 1978 by the state's
major public and private health care organizations. They recognized the need
for a neutral agency, an "honest broker", independent of special interests, to
collect, analyze, and disseminate health care information. The Consortium's
information products and services support health policy development and
improve decision making in allocating and financing health care.
The Consortium has become known nationally for providing accurate, reliable
information on critical health issues. The participation of the Consortium's
member organizations, clients, and other experts in the review of its methods,
analyses, and findings assures product quality and acceptance.
Technical and analytical services are provided to a broad client base through
board-sponsored research, collaborative projects and educational conferences.
The Consortium works with hospitals, government planners, employers, labor,
HMOs, insurers, and academic researchers to report on:
the health status of the population
the socioeconomic characteristics of the population
health facilities, services, and manpower
private and public sector health insurance plans
Because it has a diverse constituency, the Consortium is a powerful catalyst for
cooperative, dynamic discussion and action. The Consortium is committed to
providing information that will improve the health care system - not only today,
but in the future.
�The Consortium's leadership is committed to building a better
health care system.
Alvin It. Tarlov, M.D., President, 1993-present
"We are entering an era of consumer-based health care evaluation in
which generic and specific health outcomes will, increasingly, be
evaluated from the patient's point of view."
Dr. Tarlov served for 13 years as Chairman of the Department of
Medicine at the University of Chicago, later for seven years as President of
the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, and since 1990, as Director of the
Division of Health Improvement, The Health Institute, New England Medical Center. He holds professorships at Tufts and Harvard. Dr. Tarlov's
research interests have been in health manpower (Chairman and author of
the Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee Report), and
in measuring the effects of medical services. He was the founder, in 1983, of
the Medical Outcomes Study and continues actively in analysis and interpretation of the results. Dr. Tarlov is President of the Medical Outcomes Trust,
a non-profit public service organization established as a depository and
distribution center for high-quality, standardized instruments that measure health and health care outcomes.
Frederick W. Ackroyd, M.D., President 1987-1993
"Our social goal of universal access to cost-effective, quality care
has generated tremendous information needs. The Consortium's
dedication to providing high quality information through member
participation will move us closer to that goal."
r%
Dr. Ackroyd started his long association with Harvard Medical School
as Instructor of Surgery at Boston City Hospital. He has served as Chairman of the Departments of Surgery at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge and later at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. He is a member
of the Board of Governors of the American College of Surgeons. Since
1982, he has assumed duties at the Surgical Unit of the Ambulatory Care
Center, the Trauma/Burn Service and the Surgical Endoscopy Unit of the
Massachusetts General Hospital.

Ira Magaziner
Senior Advisor for Policy Development
Domestic Policy Council, the White House
Washington, DC 20500
Attn:
Alan Hoffman, Scheduler
Dear Mr. Magaziner:
As you may remember, I am the Conference Director responsible for the program development of the
National Managed Health Care Congress (NMHCC) which takes place each April in Washington, DC.
The Northeast Managed Health Care Congress, which will be taking place September 26 - 28,1994 at
the New York Hilton, is a regional pan of our National Managed Health Care Congress. It is my
pleasure to extend an invitation to you to be a member of one of our keynote plenary
sessions. These sessions will take place on Monday, September 26, from 1:00 - 2:00
pm and 4:45 - 6:00 pm and on Tuesday, September 27 from 8:30 - 9:30am. As an integral
part of the Health Care reform movement, your views would add to the importance of this event. The
subject of these panels will consist of the responses to the health care reform movement on state and
federal levels. There may be another presenter during this plenary and I will notify you once someone is
confirmed. If you are not able to attend at these times, I would be glad to try and work something out to
accommodate your schedule.
The sixth annual NMHCC attracted over 7,500 participants last month including an audience of over
200 senior level corporate benefits representatives from 150 of the nation's largest employers whose
health care plans include over 15,000,000 lives and a total of almost $100 billion in spending.
Since our conference grew by nearly 50% last year, NMHCC has become the largest gathering of
managed health care payors, purchasers, providers, and suppliers in the nation and we have received
national press coverage by CNN, C-SPAN, and the Associated Press. NMHCC and it's partners, the
Washington Business Group on Health (WBGH), and the AAPPO are supported by over 100
associations and publications. Our exhibit hall attracted over 300 exhibitors representing suppliers of
health care services and products.
For your information, 1 have attached a partial listing of current and past keynote speakers, history
information about NMHCC, a list of other regional events, and our brochure for the conference.
I feel this would be a unique opportunity for our attendees to hear you present your vision for the future
of the American health care system on the National level. I truly hope you will be able to fit this
conference into your schedule as your presence would make this program a memorable one.
Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss any questions you may have or to confirm your
participation. My direct line is: 617-487-6730. Otherwise, I will follow up with you on Thursday, May
12th. Thank you in advance for considering this invitation.
Kind Regards,
larianne Seidman

PROPOSAJL FOB CRIDCAL DECISION - PHASE TWO
•
KUSP is plajjjoing a second Health Card Town Hall Meeting to be held in the city of
MoEterey~40 mile s south of Sjmta Cn 7 - an knportant city located in our strongest signal
area. This event is an excellent opportunity to do specific outreach into that community,
in which, du e to geography, we have lower Kstener profile than we would Kke. Monterey
Peninsula College uid the Monterey Irsi rmte for International Studies are being
considered a s a viable location. We m ead to hold the meeting on Saturday, September 24
at 2:00 PM .md rebroadcast it in a weekday evening time slot sometime in October.
"Die Town Hall Meeting will again be moderated by KUSPs Eric SchoecL We have again
asked our Congrei sional Representative Sam Farr to return as afollowup panelist. His
partic ipfltioii in June lent a fhscmating window into the governmental process. We are
also seeking out a similar panel of exp ats from the Monterey area.
Here in California we have a Single Pe.yer initiative on the November ballot. This state
initiative, then, is < importitnt compo imt in the Town Hall Meeting as audience and
m
listeners demonstrate their responsibility as CaHfbmia residents and voters.
We also intiatd to produce a series of 3 to 6-minute features to drop into our NPR News
!
programs m the promotional petted leading tip to the event. We have done series like this
in the past focusing on local interests, and they have received a lot of good attention. We
will producefiveof these pieces and tm each of them twice during ME and once during
ATC. We will also include health car; refonn topics in the course of our regular local
public affaibrs pro-ams. Radiogram, Iiiime Time and Top Story.
Promotion will be as before; a direct ladling to our subscribers, ads in local newspapers,
promotions; on air, and print hundred* of quarter page invitations to place with health care
leaders for distribution, at counters and waiting rooms in appropriate businesses,
organizations and institutions.
I
The staffing will be similar to Phase One: Eric Schoeck as moderator, Lesley Tipton as
producer, Larry Blood as remote broadcast engineer, and Kenny Hill as Executive
Producer. KUSP staff member Rach tel Goodman will be added to coordinate the
independent producers' group in creatmg the health carefocusfeatures.
To evaluate the effectiveness we will encourage listeners to call in advance with panel
questions on our listener comment lit e, and we will invite comments after the broadcast as
well. As hi the c ise with Phase One wc can also look to the press for increased attention
to tlie debate, and even detect a heightened awareness of it in our elected officials or
increased presence on poUlicians' bar.dwagons.

Dear Ms, Wellford:
SHARE is a New York City not-for-profit self help organization that provides
support services for women with breast or ovarian cancer and for their families and
friends. We offer a hot line and suflport groups in English and Spanish, wellness
programs, advocacy opportunities and a full range of public education meetings on
issues of great concern to people in this city.
On September 22nci, SHARE is presenting a program entitled; "Mammography
for Women Under 50: A Dobate". The program which will be held in Manhattan from
6:00pm to 8:OOpm is described as follows:
" The recent withdrawal of the former guidelines set by the National
Cancer Institute has caused a g r o t deal of controversy. SHARE will provide an
opportunity to hear a variety of opinions from professionals in the field. Panelists will
include radiologists, surgeons, public health educators, women's health groups, and
consumer advocate/breast cancer survivors".
Our request is that a representative from the Administration be in New York to
join this panel to discuss how universal coverage will affect women with breast or
ovarian cancer and more particularly, the position of the Administration on
mammography and coverage for niiimmograms.
This presents a unique opport unity to bring together a diverse panel to present,
discuss and respond to Issues of great importance to women in this city and this
country. I look forward to hfiarinj) from you very soon.

B Millicent Gorhom, NRHA Government Affairs Director
•
Describing the idyllic'three-county
'rea of the eastern panhandle of West
Virginia, Susan Walter, executive
director of the Shenandoah Community Health Center, testified that the
Shenandoah area does not have the
resources or infrastructure to
accommodate the exploding population growth.
Addressing the House Agriculture Committee on the impact of
national health reform on rural
communities, Walter characterized
the Shenandoah center service area
as a health professional shortage
area for migrants and poverty. One
county and parts of the other two
are medically underserved areas.
Twelve percent of the population is
below poverty, while 31 percent is
below 200 percent of poverty.
Receiving $1.23 million or 40
percent of its total budget in federal
•ublic health dollars, the Shenanah center is the sole source of
alth care for low income residents
and the migrant population It
provides services to 8,500 resident
medical patients, including 2,400
migrants from four West Virginia
counties and five Virginia counties;
4,000 WIC participants; 43,000
medical encounters; and 23,000
w omen, infant and children and
social service encounters.
One successful partnership with
the local obstetricians-gynecologists
and the local hospital to centralize
all maternity care at the Shenandoah
center has resulted in an infant
mortality rate of less than 2 percent.
Walter urged the committee to
give serious consideration and
passage of a health reform plan that
ensures universal access to comprehensive primary health care for all
populations. To address universal
access, three intertwined components are of special concern to the
.—workforce, financing and
ital infrastructure development.
The NRHA recommends
significantly increasing funding for
programs that train primary care
16
providers and encourage training in
rural communities," Walter said.
"Moreover, there should be direct
financial support to approved
residency training programs at rural
community-based sites."
Walter also pointed out that
"priority should be given to essential community providers when
assigning ne .v National Health
Servke Corps personnel." Walter
expressed concern that special
consideration should be given to
establishingresidencytraining
programs located in states with no
medical school.
Fjnancing' health care reform is
another majo r concern to the
NRHA. Walter maintained that
"rura. . health providers of Medicare
Part A and Part B health services
feel extremely threatened by the
administration's proposal to finance
part of health reform from cuts in
the Medicare program. Moreover,
the historical bias of reimbursing
rural providers less than their urban
counterparts is difficult to reconcile,
particularly if we want to recruit
and retain primary care providers to
rural communities."
Walter made it clear that a
"Significant infusion of dollars for
community and migrant health
centers is needed to accommodate
1
the health care needs of citizens who
will come in the front door of the
health care system."
Building on the strengths of
community-based systems combined appropriately with integrated
systems development is key to a
successful health reform strategy.
Walter stated that to build rural
community-based systems of care
that debt and equity markets must
be open to rural providers. The
NRHA recommends providing
loans and loan guarantees, interest
subsidies and grants for facility
planning, construction, modernization, conversion and purchase of
major equipment.
Walter noted that capital
infrastructure development should
not be limited to networks of care,
for in rural communities, the
community health center or rural
hospital may be the sole provider
for many miles.
Walter said that a part of the
infrastructure development is the
use of telecommunications systems,
such as Mountaineer Doctor Television, linking West Virginia University in Morgantown to three small,
rural hospitals. Walter was careful
to note that telecommunications
could augment, not replace, provider services in rural communities.
HospitaS Conference Set for Sept 21 -23
"Ups imd Do wns of Rural Health

1994 Hospital Conference, which

Dear Susannah:
Several months ago I spoke to you regarding the possibility of keeping your name on file
should 1 have a need to locate a speaker from the Administration on health care.
t
am now writing to you on behalf of my client, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals,
ecifically, they will be holding a client-dinner at the National Press Club in midieptember (13th, 14th or 15th), and would very much like to have someone address the
Administration's views on health care reform. The dinner attendees will consist primarily
of cardiologists and nephrologists. as well as upper-level representatives of the
pharmaceutical company. The doctors are especially interested in how health care
reform will impact upon specialists in the medical field.
Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals has two worldwide headquarters, one in the
United States and one in France, though their products are found all over the world as
they are established in over 140 countries. The purpose of their series of client-dinners is
to help educate their client base in changes in the health care industry, in addition to
providing timely information on their products.
Because Rhone-Poulenc Rorer is especially anxious to hearfromthe Administration,
they are willing to adjust their schedule to meet the needs of an Administration
spokesperson between the dates of September 13th, 14th or 15th. However, in order to
facilitate their planning, I would appreciate it if you would let me know whether someone
will be able to accept their invitation to speak as soon as possible.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest
convenience so that I might better advice my client as to their speaking needs.
Sincerely,
Diane S. Nine, President

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

The reorganization process that we have begun in our community is
consistent with the clifcction of health carereformat the national level.

The model we ar? t uilding in Silicon Valley—A LOCAL SOLUTION
TO A NATIONAL PROBLEM—may be useful to other communities
around thc country us hospitals and physicians address the need to provide
health care in new ways.
Last year Dr. Philip 1-ec .spoke to an audience of more than 700 key Silicon
Valley corporate execuuves, public officials, directors of public service

RE: Invitation to address Corporj*;; Leadership Breakfast,
September 1994
Dear Vice President Gore:
Santa Clara VfilU?y, aka Siliccn Valley, is well known as the birthplace of
advanced technologies. What many Americans do not know is that our
community also has beer a cradle of innovation in health care. For example.
El Camino Hospital served as Lockheed Corporation's primary development
site for the first hospital information system in the late 1960s.
r
Today, communi ty orgar izations in northern Santa Clara County are once
again involved in a pioneering ef ort. We are convinced that our
community health care delivery system—including Ei Camino Hospital—is
too expensive and does not c w for enough people. In other words, we share
the cost and access problems that you are addressing at the national level.
r
A crucial part of the solution is a fundamental restructuring of health care
delivery at the community level. We know that existing fee-for-service
payment systems, which reward L s for generating procedures, are being
replaced by prepaid systems, whioh reward us for improving the health status
of our community. We also know that reform of health care financing will
not succeed without reform of health care delivery. Hospitals and physicians
must join together in building efficient, effective, community-based provider
organizations. This is thc task wi; have undertaken.
El CamLno Hospital and two groups of physicians are in the midst of creating
an Integrated Delivery System. We plan to launch this new organization at
the Leadership breakfast This initiative—a local solution to a national
problem-- will transform the economics of health care in our community.

E L CAMINO HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
Mo untain View, CA
In September, El Camino Healthcare System will host the eleventh Corporate
Leadership Breakfast. The purpose of this event is to update decision makers
from the private and public: sectors on current health care issues. I hope you
will agr^e to serve as principal speaker for this occasion.
Your presence al the Community Leadership Breakfast will help us convey
two important messages to our local constituencies and to our colleagues in
the heallh care industry.
• The reorganisation procesa the t we have begun in this community is
consistent with the direction of health care reform at the national level.
• The model we are building in Silicon Valley may be useful to other
communities around the country as hospitals and physicians address the
need to provide health care in new ways.
In 1993, Dr. Philip Lee spoke to an audience of more than 700—including
elected officials, the media, corporate leaders, and leaders of nonprofit
organizations and school districts. As awareness of health care reform
heightens, we expect a similar turnout this year. Over the past ten years we
have also beard from Emily Friecmah, Paul Ellwood, and William J. Filante,
and others,, each of whom h;is mt.de significant contributions to the health
care policy debate.
We have identified two alternate dates for our 1994 event: September 19 or
21. If you are interested and if your calendar permits, we will confirm one of
those dites immediately.
If you need more informati on, please call (415) 988-7769.

But some health-care economists question whether Mr, Clinton's plan wjll simply
replace existing red tape with new red
tape. Under the administration's proposal,
most people would eventually buy health
insurance Uuough large purchasing
groups run by the states.
Hospitals in several markets - notably
in Florida, Oregon and Southern California - already axe pushing to streamline
their practice patterns and operations,
and, thus, reduce charges and expenses,
said Saad Allawi. vice president of Meroer
Manageraent Consulting Inc in New Yoric.
Indeed, in a second study, by HCIA in
conjunction with Mercer, of the 100 bestperforming hospitals in the country, researches found that expenses per admiS'
sior at the top facilities were as much as
1 % lower than their peer groups.
5
If anything. Mr. Allawi said, calls for
health-care reform and cosi-eflective care
will accelerate hospitals' push for improved performance, "we're going to see
these changes lake place much faster in
the next five to 1 years."

Vice President of the United States

Washington, DC 20501
Dear Mr. Vice President:
The Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to be the
keynote speaker at our Business Development Council Industry Appreciation
Luncheon. This function will be held on Monday, September 19, 1994 at the
Radisson Hotel with 300 to 400 business leaders attending. Your role in
developing a national health care system and its effect on small business would
be a topic of great interest to this community.
Although you and President Clinton visited Gainesville and the University of
Florida campus during the campaign, I would like to share some background
information about our community's role as a major health care center for the
State of Florida.
Alachua County has 4 hospitals with 1,789 beds, 6 nursing homes with 812
beds, 1,396 physicians and surgeons and 203 dentists. The University of
Florida Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Health Related Professions, Pharmacy
and Dentistry have a student enrollment of more than 3,500 and 1,200 plus
full-time faculty. In addition to the study programs offered by the university,
Santa Fe Community College also provides numerous Health Science Programs
such as Radiation Therapy, Cardiopulmonary Technolgy, EMS training and
Nursing programs. All these health related activities are located in a county
with a population of 189,000 whose total labor force is 111,430, based on 1993
statistics.
Alachua General Hospital, Inc. is a 424-bed private, not-for-profit corporation,
and is an affiliate of AvMed-SantaFe. AGH is a full-service hospital and
serves as the base operation for Stat Flight, a medical hospital transport. Its
24-hour physician-staffed emergency medicine department specializes in shock
trauma. The hospital has medical and surgical intensive care units and an
intermediate step-down unit. There are also special units for orthopedics, eye
surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry and obstetrics. In addition, the hospital also
operates an active hospice program.

North Florida Regional Medical Center is a 267-bed acute care referral center,
attracting more than 60 percent of its patients from outside Alachua County.
The medical and surgical center was the first hospital in the United States to
earn full accreditation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation within the
first year of its operation. NFR was the first area hospital to install a
computerized whole-body scanner, the CT scanner. The hospital also developed
the area's first Cardiac Rehabilitation Center, the first Wellness Center in
North Florida, the first Back Rehabilitation Clinic and the first Pulmonary
Rehabilitation Center in the area. The newly-opened Woman's Center has 16
LDRP rooms.
Shands Hospital, a 548-bed non-profit hospital at the University of Florida, has
been a pace setter in the provisions of innovative medical care and has evolved
into a leading tertiary care referral center for the State of Florida and the
Southeastern United States. Shands provides treatment for a full range of
illness and injury. Some of the specialized care units include burn intensive
care, spinal cord injury center, and pediatric and neonatal intensive care.
Shands also serves as a second responder to emergency situations. The
University opened the Shands Cancer Center i n early fall of 1991. Shands is
one of six centers i n l the nation t hat the Food and Drug Administration has
designated for clinical testing of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy in the
treatment of kidney stones. I t has one of the nation's first self-contained
intensive care hyperbaric chambers for treating near-drowning victims, the
state's first magnetic resonance imager, and is on the leading edge of laser
technology in medicine.
The Veterans Administration Hospital, a 473-bed federal installation, provides
care to eligible medical, surgical and psychiatric patients. Extended care is
provided in the 120-bed nursing home care unit located adjacent to the main
hospital. A spinal cord injury treatment facility will open i n the future.
Also located in Alachua County is Tacachale, the largest state-supported
center for mentally retarded in Florida. North Florida Evaluation and
Treatment Center, a state-supported residential treatment facility for mentally
ill criminal offenders, has their facility located in Alachua County, with a total
capacity of 225 residents. Emergency medical services and ambulance service
is provided county-wide by Alachua County.

As you can see, national health care would be a topic of great interest in this
community of health care providers and educators. I f your schedule permits
and i f you have an interest in speaking at our Business Development Council
Industry Appreciation Luncheon, I would appreciate a reply by mid-July for
planning purposes.

Dear Patti:
Just a note to request that you pay particular attention to the enclosed
speaking invitation from Sister Bernice Coreil's health care system to Mrs.
Clinton.
The Daughters of Charity National Health System is the largest Catholic
health system in the nation. Sister Bernice attended the President's prayer
breakfast last fall and sat with Mrs. Clinton. On a number of other
occasions Sister Bernice has had the opportunity chat with Mrs. Clinton.
The First Lady seems to have a warm regard for Sister.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
As the debate on health care reform continues, it is imperative that those of us in the
health care ministry be as informed as possible of the many legislative developments
surrounding reform. It is my belief, along with Sister Bernice Coreil, D.C, who chaired
the Catholic Health Association's Leadership Task Force on National Health Policy
Reform, that your integral involvement in the process of reform makes you the leading
expert in the health care reform movement.
With this in mind, the Daughters of Charity National Health System invites you to address
the 600 key leaders of our health care ministry at our biennial symposium. Attending will
be physicians, board members and administrators from the 17 states and the District of
Columbia where our facilities are located.
The DCNHS Seventh National Healthcare Symposium will be held at the Boston Marriott
Copley Place on September 17-19, 1994. The theme of the symposium is "The
Continuum of Change - So- etal, Governmental, Organizational." Sunday, Septemb^ 18,
the second day of the symposium, will focus on governmental change. The time reserved
for your address is 8:30 - 10:30 a.m., although we certainly would be flexible based on
your busy schedule.
:
Thank you for considering this request. Sister Bernice and I look forward to your
response.
With God's blessings.
Sister Mary Frances Loftin, D.C.

Dear;....Mi._ClJnton:
(On September l ^ ^ V this University will host the f i r s t national conference on
~TTeai1^r^YTHtR5fTon and Community Living for People Hlth Developmental
Disabilities". The Department of Health and Human Issues within the Division
of University Outreach and the Federal Administration on Developmental
Disabilities will be the major co-sponsors of this Important event. Other
collaborating organizations include the American Association on Mental
Retardation, Special Olympics International and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver
Center.
,
Because the event is a collaborative effort offering an unprecedented
opportunity for reaching a wide variety of constituencies on health care
reform, health promotion and long term care, I would like to extend m
y
personal invitation to you to serve as the keynote speaker.
W expect at least 500-600 at the conference alone. Advance promotion will
e
directly reach thousands of people, and follow-up coverage will provide
in-depth examination of health issues, model solutions and practical
approaches to improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities
and their families.
Your leadership will play a pivotal role in focusing positive attention on
these matters. Naturally, we would be pleased to coordinate appearances and
public broadcasting through teleconferencing and with other organizations, and
to coordinate your schedule with your staff.
On behalf of the University and the community, I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
David Ward

Dear Mrs. Hayes:
Lois Quam, Vice President of Public Sector Services for
United Healthcare, suggested I write to you. Members of
the International City/County Management Association
would be pleased and honored to hear the President and/or
Mrs. Clinton discuss their vision of health care in the
United States at our SOth annual conference in September
of 1994 in Chicago. ICMA i s the professional association
for the top appointed people in local government.
The conference, which attracts 3,500 local government
decision-makers, always includes nationally recognized
keynote speakers who can inform and challenge our members
who have dedicated their careers to improving the quality
of l i f e in their communities.
These keynote's have
included Governor Mario Cuomo, Marian Wright Edelman, and
Henry Cisneros.
While scheduling conflicts made i t
impossible for members of the administration to attend
our most recent conference in Nashville, Pres C provided
greetings in a video that opened the conference.
Next year's conference would provide an excellent forum
for the Clintons.
Our members have a deep-seated
interest in health care reform for their employees and
the citizens they serve.
They are also i n f l u e n t i a l
leaders in their communities who are called upon to
evaluate the merits of the broad range of public policy
issues. The continuing increase in health care costs has
a significant impact on local government budgets and
therefore on their a b i l i t y to provide needed services.
On behalf of our members TCMA i s conducting a national
survey on health care cost containment. The r e s u l t s w i l l
be available in March and I would be happy to share them
with you.

What has been described as the most important healthcare forum in
years will take place on September 17th-19th as hundreds of
complementary healthcare providers come together to mark the first
step toward the formation of a national healthcare provider coalition.
The American Health Benefits Roundtable (AHBR) will convene for a
three-day conference in Washington D.C. to establish the coalition,
whose mission it will be to work to insure inclusion of all
comprehensive healthcare in the national healthcare plan.
The mission of the American Health Benefits Roundtable is to ensure
that comprehensive health is included in the national healthcare plan
as a right. By comprehensive they mean those strategies for health
promotion, restoration and maintenance that acknowledge the unity of
mind and body. This forum will foster co-working and respect among
all participants in the healthcare system. The goals of the AHBR
coalition are three-fold: first, to lobby effectively for those policies,
practices and research that assure health and well-being; .second, to
insure inclusion & availability of eclectic, multidisciplinary and crosscultural therapies in the nation's healthcare plan; and third, to
generate and initiate a consumer information network and advocacy
community to promote health.
Highlighting the list of keynote speakers will be Dr._Qeepak Chopra
M.D., Executive Director of the Institute for Mind/Body Medicine and
Candace Pert, Neuroscientist, Psychpimmunologist and Adjunct
Professor at Washington University. According to Dr. Chopra, "We
can spend less and feel better by applying cross-cultural and multiethnic wisdom and science to the chronic diseases that are burying us
in excess cost and excess suffering."

AHBR is the brainchild of a special steering committee headed by Chopra and Dr.
Artemis P. Simopoulos M.D., President of the Center for Genetics, Nutrition and
Health. She states that, "Advances in genetics and molecular biology indicate...the
early identification ofthe individual at risk for developing disease is the best
approach for the prevention of chronic diseases and for the control of healthcare
costs both in developed and developing countries."
Because of their enthusiasm for this conference and the immediate need to impact
the future of healthcare, keynote speakers and breakout session leaders have
graciously volunteered their time. They recognize the need for interaction with the
nation's legislative decision makers and the desire of professionals to have a forum
such as this to exchange their ideas and affect policy-making decisions.
The steering committee first came together out of a need to form a group that would
present a united effort to lobby Congress to include comprehensive healthcare into
the proposed national healthcare plan. That original idea grew into the AHBR
Conference. This conference will bring together practitioners from nearly 1800
associations and businesses from all walks of the complementary healthcare field to
share information and ideas on the best possible methods to achieve this common
goal, to be included in national healthcare policy.
The American Health Benefits Roundtable is underwritten by a grant from the
Aveda Corporation. For more information or registration materials contact The
Wabasha Group at (612) 378-1485.

Thank you for your timely response to our letter of invitation to speak
at The American Health Benefits Roundtable. We understand your
schedule does not allow you to make a commitment to participate in
our conference at this time. However, we believe this conference and
the coalition of healthcare providers and associations that will evolve
from it, merit participation from a member of the administration. We
again invite you, or if your schedule does not allow, attendance by a
designee of your choice.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
On Friday, September 16, 1994, HealthEast has its Annual Medical Staff Meeting. We would
be honored to have you as our speaker for that morning. As health care reform is much on
your mind, so it is with our medical staff and we would greatly appreciate hearing your
perspectives on the future of health care in the United States.
HealthEast resulted from the coming together of five previously independent hospital systems
with eight hospitals in the St. Paul metropolitan area. Through the revolutionary changes that
have occurred in health care in Minnesota, we have reduced the current number of hospitals
to three acute care hospitals and one long-term hospital. The medical staffs of all the
previously independent hospitals have come together under one umbrella as the HealthEast
Medical Staff with approximately 1,100 physicians on the staff; 650 of those are identified as
Active Staff Members of HealthEast.
As you are well aware, Minnesota has been a leader in innovation and change in the delivery
of health care. Our medical staff, for the most part, is very attuned to the current
environment and the pressure for change which has been building over the past few years.
We at HealthEast feel that we are, in many ways, out in front to the changes that are coming
about, and in some instances have been leaders. We have close working relationships with
employer groups. We have been aggressively developing a comprehensive continuum of
care to assure quality to all patients at the appropriate location and level of care they need.
Currently our system includes the hospitals mentioned above, one of the largest home health
care programs in this State, a transportation company, three nursing homes, and a network
of physicians and other health care providers delivering care in a comprehensive coordinated
manner.
I hope that you would find time in your busy schedule to address our medical staff. It would
consist of approximately 350 physicians at a breakfast meeting. I look forward to hearing
from you as soon as possible so we can complete the agenda for the September meeting. If
any further information is necessary, please feel free to call me at Si2 232-2300.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Beck, M.D.

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
On behalf of the students at Hampton University, I would like to take this opportunity to
send to you a twofold message of thanks and greetings. I am Jimmy F. Robinson, Jr.,
President of the Gamma Iota Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. at Hampton
University. First, I would like to say "thank you" for all of your untiring devotion and
unyielding dedication in the battle to provide universal health care coverage to all
Americans; knowing that a victory for your legislative efforts will serve as a victory for the
millions of men and women who do not have affordable health care insurance. I would also
like to take this opportunity to extend to you an invitation to join the students of one of the
nation's oldest Historically Black Universities, Hampton University, in helping to educate
the African - American college community about the benefits of universal health care
coverage.
In a unique, goal oriented seminar entitled "Health Care and the African • American
Community," the Gamma Iota Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., in an effort
to bridge the gulf of knowledge that exists between college students and national leaders on
this most important issue, have designed a conference that will focus on innovative
approaches geared towards stifling the onslaught of untimely deaths and other maladies,
brought on by a lack of basic health services. We would like to invite you to serve as our
keynote speaker for this event, to be held on Thursday, September 15, 1994, at Hampton
University in Hampton, Virginia (date and time negotiable). As the premiere presenter for
the seminar, you will have a unique opportunity to address a representative cross section
of college students, faculty members, university administrators, and community leaders on
ways in which to alleviate problems caused by the lack of services within minority

communities. This extraordinary event will also be a unique opportunity for you, as a true
American role model, to give back to the African - American community through your
thoughts, deeds, and actions.
As we strive to do our part to help enlighten and inform the general populous about the
benefits of health maintenance and preventive care, I leave you with the words of the great
America statesman, Benjamin Franklin: "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound
of cure." Please feelfreeto contact me at the above stated address or at (804) 728-6606, for
any additional information that I may be able to provide for you.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely Yours,
- Jimmy F. Robinson, Jr., President
Gamma Iota Chapter of
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Dear Gary:
As we disjcussed by phone, t am sending you the previous correspondence
regarding our September 12-14 symposium for physicians and hospital
administrators at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. Although we had
hoped that Mrs:. Clinton could serve as our keynote speaker on September 13,
from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., we lully understand the press of her schedule.
Nevertheless, "his is an opportunity for a Clinton first-teamer to present the
administration's views of healthcare reform to an audience of 400 leading
physicians anc administrators and to appear live via Lambert Communications'
satellite TV neiwork in 700 hospitals located in al! of the lower 48 states.
Lambert will b« covering the full conference and will do an interactive question
and answer session with :he 700 sites later in the day. The administration
representative would be welcome to take part.
Clearly, this is a first-rave opportjnity to convey the need and the rationale for
the latest healthcare proposals to an influential audience. We hope that the
administration will decide that "Carpe diem" is the order of the day.
Please call me if I can provide fu rther information at (800) 543-0474. Thank you
in advance for your help.

Dear Patti:
Thank you for your very considera e letter of July 11 regarding our request that
Mrs. Clinton serve as keynote speaker at our September 12-14 symposium for
physicians and healthcare administrators at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington,
D.C.
I have an additional bit of information which expands the potential audience for
Mrs. Clinton's message well beyond the anticipated 400 attendees. Just after
my original request was sent to yo J, Physician Strategies 2000 was approached
by Lambert Communications, a major national provider of medical education,
with the request that they be permitted to televise portions of the conference live
via sateilite to their more than 700 affiliate hospitals. According to Lambert, this
network represents 20% of the nation's non-government hospitals, with locations
in 48 states.
Clearly , Mrs. Clinton's presentation would come at an important time in the
course of finalizing the President's healthcare legislation. A clear and concise 45
minute presentailon of thei particulars to this influential audience of physicians
and healthcare executives could result in a groundswell of additional support for
the program.
Because we share the irrerest of the administration in heathcare reform which
will produce increased access; anc! reduced cost for all segments of the public,
we would !ike to provide this forum to Mrs. Clinton. As we stated in our previous
letter, we believe that no one could accomplish this task better than the woman
who has driven development of ths program with such determination and
diplomacy.
The date for the keynote address is Tuesday. September 13, from 8:30 a.m. to
9:30 a.m. Because Mrs. Clinton's presence would greatly enhance our
"lauds Thomas Rd

knowledge and understanding ofthe President's program, it is our sincere hope
that her schedule will permit her to serve as keynote speaker.
As the staff member I spoke with nis morning by phone suggested, I am faxing
this letter to you for your considereition. Thank you for your help in this matter.
Our best wishes as well to the President and Mrs. Clinton.

Dear Sir or Madam:
Physician Strategies 2000 is & leading national healthcare consulting group
which specializes in helping physician groups and hospitals to reduce healthcare
costs; by forming integrated networks. We will be holding a national symposium
for physicians and healthcare adrrinistrators September 12-13 at the Mayflower
Hotel in Washington. We; expect tnat 400 attendees will be present to hear the
messages presented by speakers from leading hospital systems, physician
groups'and legal firms from all sections of the country. Our quest is for greater
efficiencie. :} resulting in reduced cost and increased access to healthcare for all
segments of the public
1
We believe that the President's healthcare proposals should be represented
clearly and accurately to our influential group of attendees. No one could do that
better than the woman who has driven development ofthe program with such
determination and diplomacy. Of course, I am referring to the First Lady, Hillary
Rodham Clinton. While we realize; the tremendous burden of her schedule, we
hope that she csm find one hour tc serve as keynote speaker at the General
Session of Tuesday, September 13, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Her presence
would greatly enhance our understanding of the program and would certainly,
based on Mrs. Clinton's persuasiva skills, result in a higher level of
comprehension and support among these healthcare leaders.
To help expedite our request, I am taxing it to you in the hope that it can receive
your early consideration. We look forward to a favorable response
Sincerely,

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+3"><strong>Segment Three</strong></a><br /> The majority of the records in this collection consist of reports, polls, and surveys concerning nearly all aspects of health care; many letters from the public, medical professionals and organizations, and legislators to the Task Force concerning its mission; as well as the telephone message logs of the Task Force.<br /> Contains 592 files from 44 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+5">Segment Five</a></strong><br /> This collection of the Health Care Task Force records consists of materials from the files of Robert Boorstin, Alice Dunscomb, Richard Veloz and Walter Zelman. The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+6">Segment Six</a></strong><br /> This collection consists of the files of the Health Care Task Force, focusing on material from Jack Lew and Lynn Margherio. Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

In October, 1993.1 sent mv first rwuert to this pffitt for a weakw in Fcbryflrv. 1994,
After hearing nothing. I made two phone calls. The firrt time I talked with famie Flovd:
the second time I spoke with Anne Marie Zareter. The letter was addressed to Charlotte
Haye? thtf |j the namerivento mc. Now, I had sent this letter dated February 14 for
a speaker in September. 1994. and to date have not heard anything from anybody. Then
when 1 called today a nice voune man told me that none of these people work at this
number, the only number I have known to call since trying to secure a sneaker on "Health
Care Reform". In summary. Ircflliydo feel that I have gotten the run-aroun
request. Hopefully I now have the correct person with which I can receive a renlv. Anv
help that vou could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank vou very much.

RE:
Request for speaker on Health Care Plan
A]
• Susanna Wilford
The Office of Continuing Education & Special Programs at Christopher Newport
University was unsuccessful in securing a speaker in 1993-94 for one of our Peninsula Business
Breakfast sessions, so we would again like to formally request participation in one of our
monthly Peninsula Business Breakfast sessions.
Our first session for the 1994-95 academic year will be held on Tuesday, September 13,
1994. We would very much like a representative from the Health Care Commission to join us
and address the new Health Care Plan and the impact that this new plan will have on the
business community. Ideally we would be honored to have the First Lady, Mrs. Clinton, to visit
with us, but realizing the inordinate number of requests that she must receive, we realize that
this might be impossible. We feel this topic is of utmost importance to the business community
on the Peninsula and we would like to receive first-hand knowledge from an individual who has
worked so tirelessly on this plan. This topic would be a most informative and interesting
presentation that would be very well received by the participants in attendance.
This will begin our seventh year of the Peninsula Business Breakfast series, sponsored
by Rancom, Wildman, Krause and Brezinski Architects and Daily Press. The second Tuesday
of each month brings together the business community and other interested citizens to hear
presentations on a myriad of topics which affect them directly or indirectly and avails them the
opportunity to interact with the speakers. The attendance varies from 75 - 195, depending on
the month's topic. The attendance would top the highest number to date, I am sure, if we could
secure someone for this session.
The schedule for the morning would be as follows: A continental breakfast is served at
7:30-8:00 a.m. in the lobby of the Administration Building. The morning presentation is held
from 8:00-9:00 a.m. in the Anderson Auditorium in this same building. If the speaker is unable
to join us for breakfast, we ask that you be here by 7:45 a.m. to allow time for any further
questions or arrangements that may be needed. Also, if someone is able to attend, we would
reserve the larger theatre on campus, as the additional seating capacity would definitely be
needed.

The presentation should be 25-35 minutes in length, allowing 15-20 minutes for questions
from the audience. Someone will bring closure to the session about 8:55 a.m.
If we receive a positive response from this request, we will provide a form to complete
and ask that all requested information beremittedto my office by a specific date (sometime in
late July, early August). This form requests a black and white glossy picture to be used in the
advertisement for the session, a current vitae which can be used in preparing a proper
introduction, and a permission statement for media taping, if present.
I look forward to hearing from you very soon as to the availability of someone from the
Health Care Commission for September 13, 1994. You canreachme at (804) 594-7158; fax
number (804) 594-7862. Thank you for your consideration of this request.

business community. Ideally we would be honored to have the First LadyMrs. Clinton, to visit
with us, but realizing the inowlinate number of requests that she must receive, we realize that
this might be impossible. We feel this topic is of utmost importance to tlje business community
on the Peninsula and we would like toreceivefirst-hand knowledge fromj an individual who has
worked so tirelessly on this plan. This topic would be a most infonjnative and interesting
presentation that would be very wellreceivedby the participants in atteiidance.
This will begin our seventh year of the Peninsula Business Breakfast series, sponsored
by Rancom, Wildman, Krause and Brezinski Architects and Daily Press: Hie second Tuesday
of each month brings together the business community and other interested citizens to hear
presentations on a myriad of topics which affect them directly or indirealy and avails them the
opportunity to interact with the speakers. The attendance varies from 715-195, depending on
the month's topic. The attendance wouldtopthe highest number to date,, I am sure, if we could
secure someone for this session.
The schedule for the morning would be as follows: A continentajl breakfast is served at
7',30-8:00 a.m. in the lobby of the Administration Building. The momihg presentation is held
from 8:00-9:00 a.m. in the Anderson Auditorium in this same building. If the speaker is unable
to join us for breakfast, we ask that you be here by 7:45 a.m. to alio*' time for any ftirther
questions or arrangements that may be needed. Also, if someone is able to attend, we would
reserve the larger theatre on campus, as the addtional seating capaciiy would definitely be
needed.

from the audience. Someone will bring closure to the session about 8:55 a.m.
If we receive a positiveresponsefrom this request, we will provide a form to complete
and ask that allrequestedinformation be remitted to my office by a specific date (sometime in

in the advertisement for the session, a cunent vitae which can be used in preparing a proper
introduction, and a permission statement for media taping, if present.

Dear Ms. Welford:
Thank you for taking time to talk with me concerning a keynote speaker on health
care issues for the 45th Annual Convention of the National Federation of Licensed
Practical Nurses, Inc. As we discussed, we had previously written to President
Clinton and asked if either he or Mrs. Clinton could attend this important meeting.
We made contact with his office a few weeks back and they suggested we get a back
up speaker.
You will want to know that there are over 900,000 Licensed Practical Nurses and
Licensed Vocational Nurses nationwide, representing a major segment of the health
care arena. We expect approximately 500 key registrants at this annual conference.
As you can see from the enclosed schedule, we need a keynote speaker on Saturday,
September 10, 1994, at 2:30 p.m. at the Twin Towers Hotel & Convention Center in
Orlando, Florida. I have also enclosed our position paper on Health Care Reform.
The nursing profession represents a large "caregiver" population, and we trust that
we can get someone from The White House who will present a viable keynote
address before our delegation.
If you have questions, please feel free to call me at (919) 779-0046.
Sincerely,
Charlene B. Barbour

�• Accessibility to the nursing profession must be maintained
The current programs of nursing education, PN, ADN-RN, DiplomaRN and BSN-RN, each have a significant and somewhat uniqueroleto
play. They make a nursing career accessible to students and make
nursing services available to the public. PN programs offer a relatively
fast route to a productive job. LP/VNs are cost-effective nurses. They
are educated for a specific role. In many instances, LP/VNs have had
more clinical education than have RNs. LP/VNs are a valuable national
resource.
LPNs in turn are a major source of RN program students. Each year
many LP/VNs decide to continue their education to become RNs. They
enter ADN programs and BSN programs, usually continuing to work as
nurses while they pursue their degrees. Because other LP/VNs are
moving through the education system while they are still providing
nursing care, newly licensed LP/VNs account for 40% and more of the
new licensed nurses in the U. S. each year.
National Federation of
Licensed Practical Nurses, Inc.
Health Care Reform
Position Paper
4
• Educational programs need to be continually revised and expanded
As theroleof the LP/VN changes, there needs to be continual
revision in the curriculum of PN programs. The expanding roles of LP/
VNs should be addressed by changing program content to prepare new
LP/VNs properly.
Certification programs for LP/VNs should also be expanded to
enable competencies to be established and measured. Differentiated
practice models should include the LP/VN and the areas of their competency, providing pathways of acquiring additional skills and competencies. LP/VNs should be included in the process of developing the
differentiated practice models in the institutions in which they work. •

• A minimum set of covered benefits
All legalresidentsshould have a level of basic coverage accessible to
them which is adequate for most of the population. Coverage must be
adequate because employers will likely make it their standard for employee benefit packages. Coverage should include:
acute care
long-term care

Additional coverage should be available for those who wish to pay for it.
• The right of choice should be maintained
The existing rights of patients to choose their health care providers
should be maintained. As a principle, health carerefonnshould not
interrupt existingrelationshipswith chosen providers.
• The level ofpaperwork and claims processing should be reduced
Standardization of claims documents and increased use of electronic
systems can helpreducepaperwork levels. Providing coverage to those
not currently covered will necessarily entail the expansion of existing
systems or even the creation of new systems.
• Utilization of a broad mix of health care providers is important
LPNs and LVNs should be utilized in a variety of settings. There is
a tendency to spend less for basic bedside nursing care, hiring nurses
aides and assistants to perform work that properly lies within the scope
"Specifically, the American Nurses' Association, the National
Federation of Licensed Practical Nurse, Inc., and the National Council
of State Boards of Nursing join to oppose: the delivery of nursing care
by non-nursing personnel who are not under the supervision of a
licensed nurse; the substitution of licensed nurses with unlicensed
personnel; the unnecessary creation of new categories of health care
personnel as well as other efforts that serve to fragment care; the
lowering of established legal standards designed to prohibit the
licensure of persons who have not demonstrated competence to practice
nursing; and the lowering of professional nursing standards that exist to
ensure accountability of nurses for safe and effective nursing practice.
The American Nurses' Association, the National Federation of
Licensed Practical Nurses, Inc. and the National Council of State Board
of Nursing strongly support solutions to the nursing shortage that
maintain and expand the efficient utilization and employment of
existing licensed nurses. These organizations support registered and
practical/vocational nursing education and registered and practical/
vocational nursing licensure. Coordinated efforts to promote nursing
and to ensure an adequate supply of nurses in the future will serve both
the public and nursing's best interests."
Expanded utilization of advancedregisterednurse practitioners
(ARNPs) is a being presented as a principal strategy for improving health
care delivery. In the appropriate setting, ARNPs can be safe and costeffective providers. ARNP practice crosses traditional boundaries
between nursing and medicine and thus should be carefully evaluated
withrespectto scope of practice and accountability. The NCSBN
Position Paper on the Regulation of Advanced Nursing Practice correctly concludes that "Theriskof harm from unsafe and incompetent
providers at this level of complex care is high." NCSBN is correct is
proposing that licensing, not credentialing, is the appropriate regulatory
method for this type of practitioner.
There should be continued emphasis on graduating family practice
physicians in medical schools. Although ARNPs make a unique contribution to health care, they are by no means a totalreplacementfor
physicians.

Dear Ms. Welford:
Thank you for taking time to talk with me concerning a keynote speaker on health
care issues for the 45th Annual Convention of tlie National Federation of Licensed
Practical Nurses, Inc. As we discussed, we had previously written to President
Clinton and asked if either he or Mrs. Clinton could attend this important meeting.
We made contact with his office a few weeks back and they suggested we get a back
up speaker.
You will want to know that there are over 900,000 Licensed Practical Nurses and
Licensed Vocational Nurses nationwide, representing a major segment of the health
care arena. We expect approximately 500 key registrants at this annual conference.
As you can see from the enclosed schedule, we need a keynote speaker on Saturday,
September 10,1994, at 2:30 p.m. at the Twin Towers Hotel & Convention Center in
Orlando, Florida. I have also enclosed our position paper on Health Care Reform.
The nursing profession represents a large "caregiver" population, and we trust that
we can get someone from The White House who will present a viable keynote
address before our delegation.
If you have questions, please feel free to call me at (919) 779-0046.
Sincerely,
Charlene B. Barbour

> Accessibility to the nursing profession must be maintained
The current programs of nursing education, PN. ADN-RN, DiplomaRN and BSN-RN, each have a significant and somewhat uniqueroleto
play. They make a nursing career accessible to students and make
nursing services available to the public. PN programs offer a relatively
fastrouteto a productive job. LP/VNs are cost-effective nurses. They
are educatedfora specific role. In many instances, LP/VNs have had
more clinical education than have RNs. LP/VNs are a valuable national
resource.
LPNs in turn are a major source of RN program students. Each year
many LP/VNs decide to continue their education to become RNs. They
enter ADN programs and BSN programs, usually continuing to work as
nurses while they pursue their degrees. Because other LP/VNs are
moving through the education system while they are still providing
nursing care, newly licensed LP/VNs account for 40% and more of the
new licensed nurses in the U. S. each year.

- Educational programs need to be continually revised and expanded
As iheroleof the LP/VN changes, there needs to be condnual
revision in the curriculum of PN programs. The expanding roles of LP/
VNs should be addressed by changing program content to prepare new
LP/VNs propedy.
Certification programs for LP/VNs should also be expanded to
enable competencies to be established and measured. Differenlialed
practice models- should include the LP/VN and the areas of their competency, providing pathways of acquiring additional skills and competencies. LP/VNs should be included in the process of developing the
differentiated practice models in the institutions in which they work. •

Dear Mr. Wilson,
July 21, 1994
^
of
f/j
On Friday, September 9, 1994, the Linda Creed Breast Cancer Foundation is hosting a
symposium on breast cancer and the environment - a subject of tremendous importance
today. We would be greatly honored to have Vice President Gore serve as our keynote
speaker that morning. His insights and passionate concerns for the environment would
set the perfect tone for this very important program.
President and Mrs. Clinton have been hugely supportive of our efforts to effect change
with regard to taking action to uncover the causes of the breast cancer epidemic. In
fact, we were among the 200 guests in the East Room when they graciously received
the National Breast Cancer Coalition's^^ million petition signatures calling for an
action plan. This event took place very shortly before the President's mother lost her
own battle with breast cancer. Knowing how Vice-President Gore cares about his wife
and daughters, we believe he would want to do all he could to protect them and women
everywhere from ever experiencing this dreadful disease.
Linda Creed was a dynamic and talented songwriter, part of the Philly Sound in the
1970's. Among her greatest hits was "The Greatest Love of All," popularized by
Whitney Houston, but written two weeks after Linda had a mastectomy at age 26. Her
11-year battle ended with her death in 1986. She was only 37. In her name, the
Foundation is devoted to reaching out to save women's lives.
Strongly focused on providing screening and education with regard to breast cancer,
the Foundation extends into the community providing free mammograms every month
for uninsured or underinsured women. We are particularly reaching out to AfricanAmerican women who often can not access the health care system and, thus, have
higher mortality rates from breast cancer.
We are very pleased that Dr. Joycelyn Elders, U.S. Surgeon General, will be our
luncheon speaker. Her message will be enlightening and persuasive. The Vice
President's participation in this symposium will make a tremendous impact. His
passionate concern about the environment will spur us to investigate possible
carcinogens and take action to protect all women from potential clangers.
Dr.Devra Davis is working with us to help organize the symposium, and she will be
coming from Washington to participate in it. Joining her will be scientists whose work
is devoted to environmental concerns with regard to breast cancer. I sincerely hope that
Vice President Gore will be able to lend his most important presence to this program. I
look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Very truly yours,
USa Brownstein, President

Special Assistant to the President
The White House
Washington, DC
Dear Bob,
It waa great talking with you again yesterday. As I mentioned, AAPHR hopes to
have a White House represenlaiive speak al our uiuiuul sympoiiiuui, which takes
place in New York on Labor Day weekend, Sept. 2-4.
As you know, AAt'HK is the national organization of 1,$Q0 lesbian and f;ay
physicians and medical students. Wc work to promote quality healthcare and equal
rights fur lesbians and gay mvn, and lu belter Hie working environment in
organized mcdidnc for lesbian and gay physicians. We have worked closely with
federal health officials in the past — in promoting reasonable AIDS policy, for
in«tanr# — and expert to fontinue thes* relatiomhips in the future.
We would like someone to keynote our Annual Symposium Banquet, preferably a
well-known White House voice on health reform who can address its chances of
passage and in what form, and how Ihat inighl affect lesbian* and gays. Ours is «
progressive group supportive of the President's plan; I think whoever speaks would
find a receptive audience. The gay and lesbian constituency is key to mobilizing for
passage of something good, Hob, and this presentation could help make that happen.
I'd really appreciate any tiling you could do, ami I apologize lor what might seem tn
be short notice. I'll be out of thc country for thc next three weeks, and have asked
Sieve Taravella, AAPHR's atsodale director, lo follow up with you. You might hear
from him in a week or ao.
In the meantime, take tare of yourself. I'll call you when I flet back from my trip to
say hi and let you know when I'll next be in DC.
Thanks again.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>

Dear Mr. Magaziner:
I am writing to invite you to deliver the Pi Sigma Alpha Lecture at the Annual Meeting
of the American Political Science Association in New York on Thursday, September 1, 1994,
at 5:30 p.m.
Pi Sigma Alpha is the national honor society for graduate and undergraduate students of
political science. Founded in 1920, the society has nearly 450 chapters on campuses throughout
the United States. The Pi Sigma Alpha Lecture series was begun in 1991 to bring speakers of
national stature to speak on issues of public concern to an audience of political science
professionals, and it has become a highlight of the APSA Annual Meeting, chiefly on account
of the calibre of speakers we have been able to present. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney
delivered the talk in 1991, followed in 1992 by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Senator Carol
Moseley Braun was to have been the 1993 speaker but a late plane prevented her from
appearing.
The 1994 APSA Annual Meeting will have an attendance of over 6,000 political scientists
from academia, all levels of government, and the private sector, the IlEA l.ecture is a plenary
session with no other competing concurrent activities, and is the meeting's chief forum for an
address by a non-academic public figure. The Annual Meeting always draws significant press
coverage, especially the sessions with nationally known participants.
I know our audience will enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to hear from you in
person on any aspect of the politics of health care reform. The specific topic would of course
be up to you; we would only need to have a title by July 20 so that it can appear in the printed
program.

faculty of the State University of New York, invite you to be the principal speaker in a legislative forum
entitled Impact of the Proposed Health Care Plan nn State Employees, to be held early afternoon on a
jlnday_ip be scheduled in ^ | y ^pt^m^r at the Syracuse Health Science Center of the State University of
New York in Syracuse, New York We don't anticipate that both of you will be able to accept because of

r
We would like you to begin the formal program with a presentation of your views on a national
health care plan, mechanisms for its implementation, impact on participants in health care plans, and
finally, implicauons for institutions providing educational programs for health care professionals. We are

a Round Table discussion on health care plans being considered by Congress and implications for their
constituents. The program will be concluded by Dr. William Scheuerman, President of United University
Professions and its thirty-one chapters, who will address the implications of the proposed health care
plans for state employees and retirees.
We hope that you will be able to accept our invitation as we anticipate a large audience of
employees from our two colleges since the SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse is the largest
employer in the Syracuse metropolitan area. In addition, we plan to invite UUP members at three other
SUNY instituuons in central New York, namely the College of Agriculture and Technology at
MomsviUe. College at Oswego, and College of Technology at Utica/Rome.
A specific Friday in early September for this fomm has not been scheduled since we are very
much interestetTlH one ot you being able to participate and hope that thisflexibilitywill enable you to
accepLour mvitatioriTor one of these dates. We would appreciate a prompt reply to our invitation as well
as an indication of a preferred day so that we may proceed with the final plans for this legislative forum.

Dear Mrs. Hayes:
Lois Quam, Vice President of Public Sector Services for
United Healthcare, suggested I write to you. Members of
the International City/County Management Association
would be pleased and honored to hear the President and/or
Mrs. Clinton discuss their vision of health care in the
United States at our SOth annual conference in September
of 1994 in Chicago. ICMA i s the professional association
for the top appointed people in local government.
The conference, which attracts 3,500 local government
decision-makers, always includes nationally recognized
keynote speakers who can inform and challenge our members
who have dedicated their careers to improving the quality
of l i f e in their communities.
These keynotes have
included Governor Mario Cuomo, Marian Wright Edelman, and
Henry Cisneros.
While scheduling c o n f l i c t s made i t
impossible for members of the administration to attend
our most recent conference in Nashville, Pres C provided
greetings in a video that opened the conference.
Next year's conference would provide an excellent forum
for the Clintons.
Our members have a deep-seated
interest in health care reform for their employees and
the c i t i z e n s they serve.
They are also i n f l u e n t i a l
leaders in their communities who are called upon to
evaluate the merits of the broad range of public policy
issues. The continuing increase in health care costs has
a s i g n i f i c a n t impact on local government budgets and
therefore on their a b i l i t y to provide needed services.
On behalf of our members ICMA i s conducting a national
survey on health care cost containment. The r e s u l t s w i l l
be available in March and I would be happy to share them
with you.

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HAND THERAPISTS
September 22-25, 1994
Washington D.C.
RE:
Dear President:
The American Society of Hand Therapists is holding its annual meeting in Washington D.C. at
the Renaissance Hotel in September of 1994. This group will be addressing the very issues that
are at the forefront of public debate. What better opportunity for you to discuss your health care
refonn policies with a group of qualified professionals!
The American Society of Hand Therapists is an organization of 1,800 members who are the leaders
in occupational and physical therapy in the U.S. and abroad and through advanced study specialize
in rehabilitating patients with problems affecting the upper extremity. It is also a group of very
devoted and professional individuals who truly dedicate their time to their patients and who have a
special and personal commitment. I have enclosed a copy of our brochure from our public
awareness campaign for your information which explains in more detail those who are members of
the organization.
At our annual meeting we anticipate more than 800 attendees who are all very concerned about
their future and issues that affect them directly. Some of the topics to be discussed are managed
health care, legal issues of health care and functional outcome studies.
If you could find it in your schedule to make a brief appearance during one of our general sessions
we truly feel both you and our attendees could benefit from the interaction. Please let me know at
your convenience if this is a possibihty.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely

We would like to invite you to be our key speaker at our "Second Annual

Country Club for your review. The Secret Service has been to this location
in the summer of last year for former Presidents Ronald Reagan and
George Bush.
Please let us know which week in September would be most convenient
for you, so that we can organize the Conference around your schedule. We
are looking forward to your response.

Dear First Lady Clinton:
Given the proposed health care legislation and its significance to our primarily rural state, health
care of the future is a subject of great concern to small business owners in North Dakota.
Despite the information that has been disseminated, many small employers struggle to assess
what the future holds for them and their employees. Our members would like to learn more
about your view of this important issue.
Each year the Fargo Chamber of Commerce hosts an annual dinner for its 1,400+ member
businesses, their representatives and guests. The Annual Meeting Committee invites you, as
our keynote speaker, to present your vision on the future of health care and what the proposed
models of delivery will mean for small employers at this year's annual dinner meeting. Our
annual meeting is usually scheduled in September or October; however, at this time a specific
date has yet to be determined so that we may remain flexible to your scheduling requirements.
Local interest has been heightened in light of the recent vote by Business Roundtables and the
U.S. Chamber's support of the managed competition bill (Fargo businessman William C. Marcil
currently chairs the board of the United States Chamber of Commerce). Given this, we believe
Fargo would be an ideal location to present your message. We anticipate more than 750
business members will be in attendance.
I believe you will find our business community to be as open and straight-forward as our prairie
landscape. We, in Fargo, are deeply concerned with the welfare of our employees...and health
care reform is among our top priorities. I sincerely hope you will give earnest consideration
to our invitation.
If you or your staff have any questions about this event, please contact me or president Scott
Wilson at the Fargo Chamber of Commerce, (701) 237-5678.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</p>

This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes.
