Abstract
Even President Clinton's supporters say his proposal to finance health
reform is politically unrealistic. It's that - and more. His plan to
raise $441 billion over five years would reduce services to elderly an
d poor Americans, assumes savings unmatched anywhere in the Western wo
rld, and ignores the federal government's dismal track record in forec
asting what new benefits will cost.
