                               RESOLUTION


 
To express the sense of the Senate with respect to the availability and 
   affordability of health care coverage and services in our Nation.

Whereas millions of American men, women, and children lack adequate access to 
        health care and health insurance;
Whereas in 1992, health care spending in the United States exceeded 
        $838,000,000,000; and
Whereas the Department of Commerce predicts health care spending will increase 
        by 12.1 percent in 1993: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is a shared interest of both the public and 
private sectors at the Federal, State, and local levels to provide 
access to high quality, affordable health care coverage and services 
for every man, woman, and child in the United States, and that 
collectively we commit ourselves to take the necessary steps towards 
that goal.

                                 <all>
