Clinton's health care task force takes shape
Article Abstract:
President Clinton's health care reform task force, led by his wife, Hillary, must conquer many hurdles to succeed. Tax break limitations on benefits for employees and employers depend on whether the tax cap is set too low, as that would mean new taxes for some people. To gain acceptance, a tax cap should be viewed by the public as fair with equal sacrifice. Garnering support from Republicans and Democrats to enact a health care reform plan remains the most difficult problem the task force must overcome.

Leeway for states: revised waiver process may encourage state experiments
Article Abstract:
The Clinton administration has promised more flexibility in the Medicare and Medicaid waiver process, and this may lead to greater health care reform by state governments. The Health Care Financing Administration will ask the states for their input on requested waivers and will then develop a list of regulations for automatic approval. The administration is expected to favor limiting duplicate waiver awards, because Clinton wants to speed up the waiver process.
