SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRMAN DAN ROSTENKOWSKI (D., ILL.) SUBCOMMITTEE ON HEALTH, COMMITTEE ON WAYS AND MEANS, ANNOUNCES PANEL DISCUSSIONS ON NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE BEGINNING JULY 10, 1975

Subcommittee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski (D. Ill.) of the Subcommittee on Health of the Committee on Ways and Means announced today the second stage in the Subcommittee's consideration of national health insurance. This stage will involve small panel discussions on the broad issues in national health insurance. The Subcommittee will form these small panels from members of the Advisory Panel on National Health Insurance, which it established earlier this year (see: Press Release Nos. 2, 3, and 5).

The panel discussions will begin on July 19, 1975 at 10:00 a.m. and are also scheduled for July 11, 17, and 24. The sessions will be conducted in the Main Hearing Room of the Ways and Means Committee in the Longworth House Office Building.

It is expected that public hearings and additional panel discussions will be scheduled later in the year on the subject of national health insurance.

In addition, on July 31, the Subcommittee will meet to consider which aspects of medicare it will want to address in public hearings to be held after the August recess. Included in the discussion will be possible action on recent Department of Health, Education, and Welfare medicare regulations which were the subject of a public oversight hearing on June 12, 1975 (see: Press Release No. 6).
