Clinton health plan may inflate deficit
Clinton hea Budget office shows rise of $74 billion
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Clinton's health plan would drive the federal deficit up by $74 billion during the next six years, not cut it by $58 billion as the White House forecast, the Congressional Budget Office said yesterday.
He estimated that the plan would reduce the deficit by $10 billion in fiscal 1995 but then increase it from 1996 through 2000 by more than $80 billion.
The budget office said Clinton's program would require more subsidies for employers than the White House initially had projected. It also predicted that more low-wage workers would qualify for the promised subsidies.
mandatory premiums for employers should be included in the federal budget. Clinton wanted them treated off-budget as a strictly private transaction.
In another setback for the White House, the office said Clinton's
Clinton said the estimates by the budget office would not deter him
The budget office estimated that the subsidies for employers would cost $58 billion in the year 2000 alone, or "$25 billion more than the administration's figure of $33 billion."
"We'll fix that. That's not a problem. That's a Washington policy wont deal. No serious person out here in the real world will be too troubled by that," Clinton told reporters after making a speech on the plan in Louisiana.
Office director Robert D. Reischauer, in testimony prepared for the House Ways and Means Committee, said the Clinton proposal would boost national spending on health in its early years. But, he said, the plan would "reduce spending for health in the longer run" and could reduce the deficit after 2004.
Clinton's program, which seeks to guarantee private coverage for all Americans no later than January 1998, should be included in the federal budget because "it establishes both a federal entitlement to health benefits and a system of mandatory payments to finance those benefits," the budget office said.
It said the regional alliances where most Americans would get their coverage "would operate primarily as agents of the federal government."
World leaders talk tough but NATO planes still idle
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Six months after NATO authorized air strikes against the Bosnian Serbs, the United States is asking the alliance to do so again. And this time to mean it.
The problem; how to make these new threats credible after countless previous warnings evaporated. NATO warplanes fly daily missions over Sarajevo, swooping low over the surrounding mountains from which gunners bombard the city. Never once have the planes unleashed their bombs.
The leader of Bosnia's besieged Muslims, Alija Iztebegovic, met with Clinton in August. At the time, Secretary of State Warren Christopher stood in a NATO air base hangar and said, "The military operation is ready." It may have been, but the pilots never left the ground.
"Of course, threats cannot be credible for a long time if they're not followed by willingness to realize them," Izetbegovic said then.
During a NATO summit in January, Clinton said that if the Western allies threatened the use of force in Bosnia,"we have to mean it." The president said whether air strikes would be undertaken "depends upon the behavior of the Bosnian Serbs from this day forward."
Since that day, shells have rained down upon Sarajevo, killing hundreds of civilians - shopkins at an outdoor market, children playing in the snow.
The tough talk began during the Bush administration.
On July 9, 1992, President Bush told the Muslim president of Bosnia that he would consider the use of U.S. air power against Serbian artillery shelling Sarajevo. And so it continued until Bush left office and Clinton took over.
"The United States, this administration and NATO and the U.N. have all pontificated for so long that it can't go on much longer without our performing," said former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger during an appearance on the "MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour."
Rains in California unleash mudslides
The Associated Press
MALIBU, Calif. — Fires level 1,000 houses. An earthquake kills 61 people. Now, Southern California has a new disaster: mudslides.
Cars were buried, people were plucked from upper-floor windows and houses were swamped while heavy rain unleashed tons of mud and debris from fire-scarred mountains. No injuries were reported.
Yesterday, bulldozers and dump trucks plowed up to 3 feet of muck from Pacific Coast Highway at Big Rock Canyon, where at least 10 beachfront homes were damaged in Monday's cloudburst. Storm-tossed waves 8 feet high plowed into home pilings, shaking the structures much like last month's deadly earthquake.
"We have the fire, the earthquake, the mud, and now we're worried about the surf. What could be next?" said resident Carrie Sutton, whose house wasn't damaged.
A 5-mile stretch of the coastal highway remained closed yesterday.
The storm also unleashed high winds that toppled trees, shattered windows and downed power lines.
About 25 Malibu homes were damaged, with estimated losses of about $1.6 million, said sheriff's Deputy Diane Hecht.
