President
prepares for
healthplan
unveiling
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton
put finishing touches on his sweeping
plan to bring health coverage to all
Americans Tuesday, and he and top
aides went all-out to rally support and
defend the program's financial under
pinnings.
Hit from all sides with questions
about how he would pay for the new
health benefits, Clinton replied: 'Tm
not trying to sugarcoat it. I have
worked harder to get better cost esti
mates on this than anybody ever has."
Aides said a final decision was still
to be made on at least one contentious
matter: How to mete out new "sin tax
es" on tobacco and perhaps alcohol.
Wednesday night at 9 p.m. EOT,
Clinton delivers what may be the most
important speech of his presidency, lay
ing out his vision for a health-care sys
tem that would offer affordable cover
age to everyone by the end of 1997.
Summing up the main goal, he said
simply, "You would be able to get
health insurance; it would be adequate
benefits, and you wouldn't lose it."
Employers would be required to pay
80 percent of average health-care pre
miums, with workers paying the rest.
Small businesses and low-income work
ers would get federal subsidies to help
them pay their share.
Clinton shuttled between interviews
and sold his plan to newspaper colum
nists over veal and asparagus at an East
Wing luncheon.
"I'm anxious for this debate to be
gin," Clinton told the columnists.
The administration made it clear that
much of the plan is open to negotiation.
Mrs. Clinton, joining her husband for
lunch, said that if Congress opted to go
more slowly in phasing in universal
coverage, that could be acceptable.
