My state, Idaho, is the most under-doctored state in the nation. But in addition to its shortage of health care providers, there are problems of geography and infrastructure. In Idaho, access to health care is as much a question of miles as dollars. Rural America's economic future will be seriously impaired if we fail to accomplish meaningful health care reform. Communities cannot expect to attract businesses without adequate infrastructure, and this means access to health care, as well as schools, roads and sewers. Americans do their best to make responsible choices in their lives, and to contribute to the good of the nation. Access to health care expands opportunity, and enhances every individual's ability to make economically responsible choices about jobs and training. I have enclosed my legislation, H.R. 237, for your consideration. This legislation incorporates recommendations made by Idaho health care professionals, and Idahoans who attended some of the two dozen town meetings I have held in the First District. For States like Idaho, the bill represents a PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER starting point in an effort to ensure that rural health care concerns are part of any comprehensive reform legislation. It offers practical approaches to the problem of improving access to health care in rural states. I appreciate you taking time to consider my suggestions on behalf of Idaho, and I look forward to working with you to meet this critical challenge. As the process continues, I will be available to assist you in any way to see that the special needs of Idaho's rural health care delivery system are not overlooked. With best wishes, N Sincerely, Larry any LaRocco DuRaus Member of Congress Enclosure THE WHITE HOUSE February 19, 1993 Dear Representative LaRocco: I want to thank you for providing information on your Rural Health Care Access Improvement Act. I understand the special needs of rural states such as Idaho, and appreciate your sharing the solution that you have crafted with experts in your state. I will ask my staff to review your proposal carefully. I am sure it will be helpful to the health care task force as we study various approaches to achieving our shared goal of improving access to affordable health care. I look forward to working with you on this issue of critical importance to American families.
