Health reform is necessary to strengthen our economy and to ensure long-run federal deficit reduction. Comprehensive reform such as that proposed by President Bill Clinton is ambitious but may be the only way to guarantee universal coverage and deficit reduction in this decade. This paper describes the sources and uses of federal funds and the methodologies used to derive the administration's estimates. In addition, the paper briefly analyzes the economic effects of an employer mandate and other dimensions of the Health Security Act.
医疗改革对于增强我们的经济实力以及确保长期削减联邦赤字而言是必要的。像比尔·克林顿总统提议的那种全面改革虽然雄心勃勃,但可能是在本十年保证全民医保覆盖和削减赤字的唯一途径。本文描述了联邦资金的来源与用途以及用于得出政府估算的方法。此外,本文还简要分析了雇主强制参保规定的经济影响以及《健康保障法案》的其他方面。
