Abstract

This article focuses on the announcement by the U.S. President Bill Clinton about the health care plan. The President has cut out on his pledge to be a leader in this area and a free for all is about to ensue. Telling the U.S. Congress to craft a law that embodies ideas he presents in his plan look for more than 200 pages of pointers is close to handing blank paper to special interest lobbyists. Health care reform targets an industry that, at $900 billion a year, is triple the size of the military industrial complex. Changing the system to reduce or transfer costs means taking money out of someone's pocket, and the people attached to those pockets will descend upon Congress in a way that would make a vulture blush.
