3.1698 Insurance Companies' Reactions to President Clinton's Health Care Plan.
This paper will take a detailed look at the 1993 health plan and concentrate on the effects it had on the insurance industry. The prevailing sentiment among insurance companies was that the 1993 was unequivocally 'bad' for their business. After six years of lobbying and the application of economic pressure, insurance companies feel that the 1999 reforms are a step in the right direction after the botch-job launched in 1993. In brief, the paper will show what happened in 1993, how health care changed as a result of the 1993 plan, how insurance companies reacted to the plan, whether or not insurance companies acted rationally (i.e., is there economic support for their negative reaction?), and how the present situation meshes with the insurance companies' recommendations for change. 12 pgs. 21 f/c. 5b.
