Pollack also spoke briefly about health reform. She said she supported a single-payer system similar to the Ca- nadian health program, where the gov- ernmentpays all health-care costs. "This could save the government $100 billion in paperwork alone," said the senator. Pollack concluded by calling for a balanced budget, saying, "Reducing the deficit should be the number one prior- ity for anyone going to Washington today."

Katrina Nagaprakash, an LSA jun- ior, said, "I enjoyed his point that in an academic setting you can get bogged down in theories. It was good to hear someone speak so persuasively on the issue." LSA junior Benjamin Bolger added that the problem is with NAFTA, not the idea of increasing trade. "I think that trade with Mexico is notabad thing," he said. "It is the way we do trade with them that's important." Riegle also stated his support of President Clinton's health care plan. He stressed the importance of bipartisan cooperation for its passage. He said he has seen a draft proposal of the Clinton administration's health care plan, but the plan is not polished. "(Clinton's) idea is to present the concept on Wednesday night, and then waitaboutthree weeks, getting reaction and suggestions," Riegle said. "Then, about three weeks later, actually pro- duce a written legislative draft." Republican support for the President's plan is crucial, Riegle said, because Democratic leaders cannot count on the support of every Democrat on this issue. Riegle saidheattempted toputhealth care on the national agenda duriit, the Bush administration. He said he g: : his proposal to several members of the Bush Cabinet, who became eager to pursue the issue. "Nothing ever came of it because Bush never engaged the is- sue," Riegle said. Highlights of the President's health care plan, taken from a 239-page draft summary and White House briefings, include the following: State governments would create health alliances, or large purchasing pools, which would use their clout to force insurers and providers to compete for customers. Consumers would be able to choose among several plans and employers would pay 80 percent of their employees' insurance costs. The plan features 100-percent de- ductibility of health care costs for the I see, In a different form, some of the same elitism behind this Mexican free trade agreement. I see a lot of people who are out of the line of fire and will not lose their jobs ... and they're for the NAFTA.' - Sen. Donald Riegle self-employed, a standardized claims form and subsidies for some small busi- nesses. Medicare and Medicaid would remain essentially the same, with no reduction in benefits. Taxes on cigarettes and possibly liquor would raise $15 billion a year to pay the initial costs of the plan. The senator used an example from his personal life to illustrate what he sees wrong with the present health care system. His father, whose kidneys were failing, was being given an intravenous liquid food supplement The substance was only good for24 hours, at a cost of $600 a bottle. At the end of each day, half of the bottle was thrown away. "I told the nurse, 'We only need a $300 bottle.' She agreed. She came back the next day and told us, 'They don't make a $300 bottle.' This is an enormous amount of money being, in effect, thrown in the wastebasket," Riegle said. LSA sophomore Neil McDermott said that he, like Riegle, supports the plan. "I like the fact that everyone is going to get health care." Sujatha Singaracharlu, an LSA se- nior, said, "We undoubtedly need to revamp the system." Riegle noted that with the possibil- ity of Republican gains in the Senate in the 1994 elections, Democrats must act quickly to implement President Clinton's legislative package. "There's a legislative window that runs from today through roughly October 1st of next year," Riegle said. After his speech, Riegle answered questions from the audience, telling one young man, "Hang on to your idealism; it's your greatest asset." " a p i Applications also available at: ,iversty of Mkhlgari er Planning, ac ent UNITED Continued from page 1 I Va., attributed this to the fact that the University of Michigan chapter of United We Stand, America (UWSA) is only weeks old. Silversmith, the president, and Harnsberger, the media relations liai- son, did not find each other on campus, but through the UWSA national organi- zation, located in Dallas. The two were inspired to start a chapter through the UWSA newsletter which spoke of college students across the country launching chapters. Attempting to decrease the amount of apathy among students, these two hope to involve others who are con- cerned. 'We're just trying to get students involved in the issues being decided in Washington today," Harnsberger said In discussing NAFTA, Silversmith was clear in his belief that this treaty will harm American workers, as well as those in Mexico. "Ultimately, in order to protect American jobs, the government needs to reduce the cost of the American worker," Silversmith said. "Until that happens, NAFTA is a disaster." Nevertheless, both Hamsberger and Silversmith were careful to note that they were more interested in hearing Ross Perot than in echoing anti-NAFTA positions. UWSA members will recruit stu- dents for the campus chapter atFestifall today. Adonation of $15 is necessary to formally joie, the national organization in its fight to put "America first." With agoal of 3 million members by the end of this year, and 10,000 mem- bers in each congressional district by the mid-term congressional election in 1994, Silversmith predicted thatUWSA would have an active role in electing members to Congress. Silversmith who stood about ten rows away from the Texan, was pleased that he made the trek, butsaid he wished the speech had focused on issues be- yond NAFTA. "I thought it was lacking in detail, but full of good political rhetoric," he said. Nat ionsBank takes your career from the campus to the street.
