WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement today by House Democratic Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) on Vice President Gore's health care proposals:
STATEMENT BY HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADER RICHARD A. GEPHARDT
"Al Gore has put forward a visionary plan to improve our health care system in a common-sense, focused and achievable way. His plan to guarantee every child in the nation access to affordable health care by 2005 is a key part of making sure that all Americans get the health insurance coverage they need and deserve. I also applaud his commitment to ensuring that all families can afford and receive the quality of health care they need and deserve.
"This is exactly the kind of leadership that America needs from its next president, and stands in direct contrast to the total lack of vision of the Republican Party. Al Gore is bringing the debate back to the issues that matter to middle-class families, and health care is at the top of that list."
