Clinton: *.Health care that is always there’
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Opening a momentous national
debate on how to provide medi-
cal coverage to every American,
President Clinton is challenging
Congress to complete work next
year on a plan to deliver “health
care that is always there.”
As Clinton looks beyond
Washington to build momentum
for a historic overhaul of the
country’s health-care system,
members of Congress — at once
eager and wary — pledged a bi-
partisan search for common
ground.
“It is a magic moment and we
must seize it,” Clinton told a
joint session of Congress in an
impassioned call to arms Wed-
nesday night. “Let us keep this
spirit and let us keep this com-
mitment until this job is done.”
And with that, the drive to
sell Clinton’s brand of health re-
form to the public shifted into
high gear.
In his address to Congress,
which was sprinkled with health
care horror stories, Clinton
warned of “scare tactics by
those who are motivated by the
self-interest” and sought to keep
the focus on the potential bene-
fits for ordinary Americans,
some of whom would pay more
for health care under his prop-
osal than they dd lnow.
He exhorted members to
“look into the eyes of a sick
child who needs care” in weigh-
ing the course of health reform.
“We must make this our most
urgent priority, giving every
American health security —-
health care that can never be ta-
ken away, health care that is al-
ways there,” he declared.
Throwing down a challenge
with a time limit, Clinton added:
“Let us agree on this: Whatever
else we disagree on, before this
Congress finishes its work next
year, you will pass and I will
sign, legislation to guarantee
this security to every citizen of
this country.”
The speech was long on pas-
sion and short on details, but a
House chamber packed with
lawmakers and dignitaries inter-
rupted him 32 times with
applause.
It was all designed to make
people more comfortable with a
plan that would overhaul the
way virtually everyone obtains
medical services by the end of
1997.
Legislators from both parties
praised Clinton for putting
health-care reform atop the na-
tional agenda, but Republicans
questioned whether his proposal
was too bureaucratic and would
put too heavy a burden on
businesses.
Reflecting both hope and cau-
tion, Sen. John Chafee, R-R.I.,
said: “I’ve always felt this thing
could be compromised. There
arc similarities, but there are dif-
ferences too, dramatic ones.”
Under Clinton’s proposal,
employers would pay 80 percent
of their workers’ average health-
care premiums and workers
would pay the rest. Small bu-
sinesses and low-wage workers
would get subsidies to help them
pay their share.
Some particulars would vary
from state to slate, but Clinton’s
“health security card” would
guarantee a standard set of mini-
mum benefits to every
American.

Whether we're created or just happened

If we evolved — life is pointless; abor-

Some Men Are Scared
To Death To Have
Prostate Surgery.
Approximately
one of every
11 men
will develop
prostate cancer.
There is an
88% survival rate
for prostate
cancer detected
in its
early stages.
Prostate
cancer is the
second
leading cause„.
of cancer deaths
in men.
Prostate cancer
caused an
estimated
34,000 deaths
in 1992.
The fact is, as you grow older your chances
of developing prostate cancer grow, too.
Significantly. It's frightening. But when prostate
cancer is detected in its early stages,
chances for the cure through prostate surgery
are excellent.
Dr. Scott Aarons at our Highway 146 Campus
and Dr. Aristides Trifilio at our Garth Campus
will be conducting free prostate screening ex-
ams during the week of September 27 - Oct.
1, 1993. If follow-up testing is recommended
BayCoast uses a variety of techniques in the
detection of prostate cancer. Often a biopsy
can be performed as an outpatient proce-
dure. That means you'll be in and out of the
hospital the same day allowing you to re-
cover in the comfort of your own home.
So don't let the thought of prostate surgery
scare you to death, call Dr. Aarons at 422-
3800 or Dr. Trifilio at 425-9359 today for your
FREE prostate screening exam. It could add
years to your life. _________________
