National Health Care Reform
Most informative were your two articles (Dec. 30-31), which spotlighted the comparative analysis of health plans of the countries in Europe.
The articles are timely as the Clinton Administration prepares to tackle the necessity to ensure health care for all Americans. The articles also emphasize the glaring inconsistency of the richest country in the world in not providing health care for everyone. If the other countries can do it, why can’t we?
Franklin D. Roosevelt will forever be identified and credited in the history books for promoting the passage of Social Security in 1935. Likewise with Lyndon B. Johnson for the enactment of Medicare in 1965. If during his Administration Bill Clinton will push for the enactment of a national health plan, he too will go down in the history books.
