Medical Savings Accounts and Public Health Care Reform in California
Submitted by Mark Schiller, M.D. on 8.12.1998
In 1994, Congress resoundingly rejected President Clinton’s managed-competition health plan. That same plan, however, remains alive and well in California, which operates two state-mandated health-plan purchasing cooperatives — CalPERS (California Public Employees’ Retirement System) and HIPC (Health Insurance Plan of California). These state-run programs offer only managed-care options, limiting choice for California’s public and small-business employees.
The State of Children: What Parents Should Know About Government’s Efforts to Assist Children
Submitted by Naomi Lopez on 8.1.1998

Politicians compound this problem with their fever-pitch crusades claiming to champion the cause of children.
