           ``I CAN'T FIND AN INSURANCE THAT WILL INSURE ME''

                                 ______


                        HON. FORTNEY PETE STARK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, August 8, 1994

  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I just received the following letter from a 
man in a Western State. His letter is what the health reform debate is 
all about:

       I lost my health insurance when the company I retired from 
     filed for bankruptcy on January 31st in 1993; they were self 
     insured. I had quadruple bypass surgery September 1983 and I 
     can't find an insurance that will insure me. I am 60 years 
     old so still have 5 years till I can get Medicare so in the 
     meantime I am still uninsured. Please keep trying for us.

  Mr. Speaker, the Democratic leadership bill will help this man and 
his family. I urge it passage.

                          ____________________
