Synopsis
Excerpt from Health Security Act of 1993: Hearing Before the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, November 9 and 18, 1993
Mr. Clay. The committee will come to order. This afternoon the committee begins its consideration of the Health Security Act of 1993, President Clinton's bill to reform the Nation's health care system.
At the outset, let me commend President and Mrs. Clinton for their tireless efforts, both in developing the massive proposal and in focusing the Nation's and the Congress' attention on the need for health care reform.
The President is absolutely right when he says that the goal of health care reform should be to guarantee to every citizen univer sal access to high-quality, affordable, and comprehensive health care services. On this important issue and many others, there is consensus today where none existed before.
For these reasons, I have agreed to stand with the President as an original cosponsor of his bill. I, of course, still have my disagree ments with the President on the means, and I have serious doubts about some of his objectives, which brings me to the subject of to day's hearing.
