OAKLAND

cussing Mr. Knollenberg's voting
record, which he disagrees with,
will help him in November.
Both candidates offer different
views on health care and crime.
Because Congress will not en-
act comprehensive health care
legislation before the end of the
year, members of the next, 104th,
Congress will be looked upon to
devise a plan.
Mr. Breshgold talks about a
single-payer system but believes
insurance reform should be an
immediate priority to control
costs.
Mr. Knollenberg does not
think people want an overhaul of
the health care system. He would
like to see Congress pass mea-
sures like malpractice reform and
ensure coverage to those with
pre-existing conditions.
The congressman's views on
crime include more emphasis on
victims' rights than the criminal
and he said prison sentences
should be served out. ❑
