Excerpt from Conference Address One of the most complex and
significant social issues facing our nation is reform of our
national health system. I am personally committed, and Goodyear
Tire & Rubber is committed, to doing everything we can to help
improve that system while simultaneously gaining some measure of
control over the tremen dous rate of cost escalation. I feel very
strongly that in the months ahead, business leaders must become
actively involved in a concerted effort to strike a balance between
our desire to assure the best medical care for all and the reality
of doing so at a cost our society can afford. For the past two
years I have been chairman of the Business Roundtable's Task Force
on Health and in that capacity have been working closely with the
Washington Business Group on Health. Through this exposure and the
encour aging results of Goodyear's own cost containment activities,
I was asked to serve on HEW Secretary Califano's Advisory Committee
on National Health Insurance. This committee, representing a broad
spectrum of interests and expertise, will be meeting in cities
across the country and will hold hearings in Washington before
entering into final discussions with HEW and other admin istration
officials. The result of its work is to be combined with that of
the HEW staff in formulating the basis of President Carter's
national health insurance proposal."
