Task Force on National Health Reform

The body created by President Clinton in January 1993, chaired by Hillary Rodham Clinton, with the charge to “listen to all parties and prepare health care reform legislation . . .” It reported that in its deliberations it met with health care providers, consumers, business, and labor groups, including physician groups, nurses groups, hospitals, medical colleges, seniors, long-term care groups, groups representing the disability community, groups specializing in mental health issues, women’s groups, children’s advocacy groups, minority organizations, rural groups, groups representing small and large businesses, and labor organizations. One of its products was a volume: Health Care Update: The Need for Health Care Reform. This was the basis for the health care reform proposal, the Health Security Act, introduced by the President in 1993.
