Feinstein fax (202)228-3954

                                                              July 15, 1994



The Hon. Dianne Feinstein
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510-0504

Dear Senator Feinstein:

Your withdrawal of support for President Clinton's health care
reform plan was most disturbing to me, thus I am writing to urge
that you strongly support a meaningful health care reform plan
during this congressional session.

This plan must contain the following elements:

         Universal coverage by January 1, 1997.

         Employer contributions of at least 80% of all health care
          costs.

         Comprehensive benefits including prescription drugs,
          preventative care, mental health treatment and at least
          a start on long term care.

         Family contributions that are affordable to all persons,
          including early retirees, the unemployed and low income
          workers.

         Real, enforceable cost controls, such as premium limits
          and fee schedules.

         Quality care with consumers, not employers, being allowed
          to select from a wide choice of physicians and plans.

         A single payer option for states, without unreasonable
          barriers.

I recognize that the specifics of various bills concerning health
care are changing daily, but the above provisions are fundamental
to any acceptable health care reform legislation. Please support a
plan which includes these provisions now.

I look forward to hearing your views concerning national health
care reform.

Very truly yours,
