Pursuant to Title 17 Section 105 of the United States Code, this file is not subject to copyright protection and is in the public domain.
1.This Act may be cited as the
Health Care for Hybrids
Act
.
2.Congress makes the following
findings:
(1)The United States
imports over half the oil it consumes.
(2)According to
present trends, the United States’ reliance on foreign oil will increase to 68
percent of total consumption by 2025.
(3)Having only 3
percent of the world’s known oil reserves, the health of the United States
economy is dependent on world oil prices.
(4)World oil prices
are overwhelmingly dictated by countries other than the United States, thus
endangering our economic and national security.
(5)A
major portion of the world’s oil supply is controlled by unstable governments
and countries that are known to finance, harbor, or otherwise support
terrorists and terrorist activities.
(6)American
automakers have lagged behind their foreign competitors in producing hybrid and
other energy-efficient automobiles.
(7)Legacy health care
costs associated with retiree workers are an increasing burden on the global
competitiveness of American industries.
(8)Innovative uses of
new technology in automobiles in the United States will help retain American
jobs, support health care obligations for retiring workers in the automotive
sector, decrease America’s dependence on foreign oil, and address pressing
environmental concerns.
