The Honorable William J. Clinton
President
The White House
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President,
As we look forward to receiving your health care plan, we
wanted to share with you some central concerns about how the plan
will meet its promise of health security for all New Yorkers. We
look forward to supporting a health care plan with the following
features that are essential to meeting the needs of New York
residents:
1. Fair financing, requiring all employers to pay for health
care through a premium based on total payroll. Individuals
should contribute based upon their ability to pay.
2. Equal participation by all employers, large and small, so
that Americans have the same health care choices regardless of
where they work. Allowing large employers to "opt-out" will lead
to small employers, individuals, and taxpayers paying more for
health care.
3. Paying the same amount for health care for Medicaid
recipients as for the working and unemployed. Paying less to
health plans for Medicaid beneficiaries will cripple investment
in health care in underserved areas and perpetuate two-tiered
care for the poor.
4. Comprehensive coverage, including prescription drugs,
dental care, mental health, and long-term care. Seniors and the
disabled who rely on Medicare must also be assured that their
health care coverage brings the same good benefits as working
Americans.
5. Affordable freedom of choice. A plan that requires
Americans to pay more for the right to choose their own health
care provider will restrict freedom of choice to the wealthy.
�The Honorable William J. Clinton
August 5, 1993
Page 2
6. Health care must be affordable. Deductibles and balance
billing should be eliminated and co-payments minimal.
7. Enforceable cost-controls so that health care inflation
is kept in line with the growth of the economy.
8. Allow states to readily enact more comprehensive reforms,
including single-payer systems.
There is enormous support in New York for comprehensive
health care reform. We believe that a plan that includes these
features will meet the needs of New Yorkers and earn their
support.
Sincerely,
�Signers of letter:
Hon. Nydia M. Velazquez
Hon. George J. Hochbrueckner
Hon. Thomas J. Manton

MEMORANDUM FOR IRA MAGAZINER

FROM:
HOWARD G. PASTER · (
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS\
SUBJECT:
Congressional Correspondence
Enclosed please find a copy of the letter that was sent to the
President from several members of the New York delegation.
The President has requested that he see and sign every letter
going to Capitol Hill. We did not want to fully answer the
issues addressed in the members' letter without advice from your
department; therefore, I am requesting that your office draft a
response and return it to LeeAnn Inadomi (WH-East Wing) within 48
hours. She will then print the letter in final form and have
President Clinton sign the letter.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this matter. If you
have any questions, please feel free to call LeeAnn at 456-7500.
