de Lugo, Ron PHOTOCOPY PRESERVATION April 7, 1993 Dear Delegate de Lugo: It was wonderful to meet with you and the other members of the Hispanic Caucus to discuss the vitally important topic of health care reform. I would like to assure you that the task force is looking into the special needs of the Territories including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Your issue on removing the cap on Medicaid and using that money along with the excise tax on rum, is being looked at by our appropriate task force members. I look forward to working with you. With your collaboration, I feel confident that our common endeavor will be successful. Sincerely yours, Hon. Ron de Lugo U. S. House of Representatives Washington, D. C. 20515 THE WHITE HOUSE June 2, 1993 Honorable Ron de Lugo United States House of Representatives Washington D.C. 20515 Dear Representative de Lugo: Thank you for your letter supporting inclusion of the territories in the President's comprehensive national health care reform legislation. The health care reform package will provide that every American citizen and legal resident receives the basic benefits package. The President is still reviewing provision of coverage to other groups. But please be assured that no individual will lose health care services currently available. I am sorry I was unable to meet with the governors of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands as you suggested. However, the views of the territories are very well represented by you and the other delegates whom I have had the opportunity to consult. Again, thank you for your letter. I look forward to our continued work together on this important issue. Sincerely, Hillary Hillary Rodham Clinton THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Honorable Ron de Lugo United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 THE WHITE HOUSE March 9, 1993 Dear Representative De Lugo: Thank you for your letter regarding health care in the U.S. territories. I appreciate the difficult situation that the Virgin Islands faces in ensuring health care for the Americans who live there. Please be assured that as we explore alternatives for health care reform, access to quality health care for these individuals is very much on our minds. Again, thank you for contacting me, and for providing background information on health care in the territories. I look forward to working with you, as chairman of the Subcommittee on Insular and International Affairs, on this important matter.
