                    ENSURING HEALTH SECURITY FOR ALL AMERICANS

                                                    January 14, 1998

                         "To give Americanfamities the security they need to thrive, we need national
              consumer rights that say to every American: You have a right to know that you are
              receiving the best care, not the cheap'est care; you have the right to choose the right doctor
              for the right type of care; the right to medical services in an emergency, wherever and
               whenever the need arises; the right to know your medical records are confidential and only
               used for legitimate purposes; and you have the right to express your concerns about the
              quality of care your receive, and to take action when that care is inadequate, "

                                                                              President Bill Clinton
                                                                              lanuary 14, 1998

 Today, President Clinton and Vice President Gore, along with Democratic Leaders Senator Daschle and
 Representative Gephardt, came together to call for legislation proposing national health care consumer
Iprotections for all Americans.

PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS. The nation's health care system is undergoing significant change.
Many Americans worry that these changes may reduce their health care options and lower the
standards of care. A Patients' Bill of Rights will give Americans much needed protections -- such as
a sense of security that they will have timely access to emergency services; that they will have access
to the specialists they need; and that there is a rigorous process in place when they have health care
grievances.

HEALTH CARE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. The Health Care Bill of Rights is an important part of
President Clinton's plan to ensure the health care security of all Americans while containing health care
costs for working families and businesses. This initiative builds on the success of President Clinton's
other health care achievements, including:

     , Protected Medicare -- protected, modernized and extended the Medicare trust fund for at
        least a decade while offering new options for patient choice and preventive care;

      Enacted Single Largest Investment in Health Care for Children since 1965 -- the $24 billion
       Children's Health Care Initiative will provide health care coverage for five million children;

      Passed Meaningful Health Insurance Reform -- signed the KassebaumlKennedy Health Care
       Bill which limits exclusions for pre-existing conditions, makes coverage portable and helps
       individuals who lose their jobs remain covered;

      Raised Immunization Rates to All Time High -- 90% of toddlers in 1996 received the most
       critical doses of each of the routinely recommended vaccines --surpassing the President's
       1993 goal.

A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION. President Clinton is promoting fiscally responsible policies that
strengthen our families and expand opportunity for all Americans. Since coming to office, the President
has worked to cut the deficit more than 90 , to its lowest level in more than two decades. A Health Care
Bill of Rights will not cost American taxpayers any money -- but it will help ensure better care for millions
of Americans.

PATIENTS' BILL OF RIGHTS. The nation's health care system is undergoing significant change. Many Americans worry that these changes may reduce their health care options and lower the standards of care. A Patients' Bill of Rights will give Americans much needed protections -- such as a sense of security that they will have timely access to emergency services; that they will have access to the specialists they need; and that there is a rigorous process in place when they have health care grievances. HEALTH CARE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. The Health Care Bill of Rights is an important part of President Clinton's plan to ensure the health care security of all Americans while containing health care costs for working families and businesses. This initiative builds on the success of President Clinton's other health care achievements, including: , Protected Medicare -- protected, modernized and extended the Medicare trust fund for at least a decade while offering new options for patient choice and preventive care; Enacted Single Largest Investment in Health Care for Children since 1965 -- the $24 billion Children's Health Care Initiative will provide health care coverage for five million children; Passed Meaningful Health Insurance Reform -- signed the KassebaumlKennedy Health Care Bill which limits exclusions for pre-existing conditions, makes coverage portable and helps individuals who lose their jobs remain covered; Raised Immunization Rates to All Time High -- 90% of toddlers in 1996 received the most critical doses of each of the routinely recommended vaccines --surpassing the President's 1993 goal. A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE SOLUTION. President Clinton is promoting fiscally responsible policies that strengthen our families and expand opportunity for all Americans. Since coming to office, the President has worked to cut the deficit more than 90 , to its lowest level in more than two decades. A Health Care Bill of Rights will not cost American taxpayers any money -- but it will help ensure better care for millions of Americans. Automated Records Management System HexDump Conversion
