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

Dear Mrs. C l i n t o n :
We would be

honored i f yoi would accept our i n v i t a t i o n t o make
address a t our 10th Anniversary Texas Rural Health
Conference, September 29-30, 1994. We are
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
i n January 1995. Health Care Reform w i l l be the dominant issue
for l e g i s l a t o r s as they stjruggle t o address how t o provide care
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
t h a t l i v e i n r u r a l and f r o n t i e r areas.
Rural Texas represents i n microcosm the problems i n h e a l t h care
found i n r u r a l communities across the country. You p e r s o n a l l y
know the issues we face; r u r a l Arkansans experience the same
problems. Our experience i n managed care i s l i m i t e d ; our
physicians f e a r f u l of l i m i ts t o t h e i r p r a c t i c e , o f competition,
and o f c o n t r o l s . Our p o l i t i c i a n s are conservative, opposed t o
b i g government, u n w i l l i n g to "mandate" anything. Yet they
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.
We are planning t o c e l e b r a t e our 10th anniversary w i t h our
members, our colleagues from other associations w i t h s i m i l a r
i n t e r e s t s , and our l e g i s l a t o r s , engaging i n a l e a r n i n g and
planning experience t h a t can help promote a s t a t e h e a l t h care
reform plan t h a t w i l l address the needs of the underserved, r u r a l

The s t a t e of Texas needs to hear your v i s i o n o f h e a l t h care. I

"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
Professor, University of California at San Francisco
Former Director, National Center for Health Statistics
"Individual companies and regional coalitions could be well-served by access to (the Consortium's) health
care cost information. "

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.

Congress
May 6,1994
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.

On The Record
1 ByY
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
Care" is the theme for the NRHA
1994 Hospital Conference, which
will be held Sept. 21-23,1994, in
Chester County, S.C
Chester County Hospital and
Nursing Center will host this second
annual national symposium on rural
health care is'-ues, designed to bring
hospital adnrrdstrators together to
discuss strategies necessary to
ensure the survival of rural hospitals in today';, challenging and
chang;ing environment.
The confeirence will include
workshops, roundtable discussions
and case studies of successes and
failures, which will offer insight into
meeting the changing needs of rural
Americans.
The opening reception,
"Southern Flavors," will be held
at a restored, historic southern
home. On Thursday, dinner will be
held in an airport hanger with a
welcome provided by a team of sky
divers. A "pig-pickin," which is a

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.

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>
