NFU has been a long-time sup porter of health care reform, fa voring a single-payer system. The Clinton administration and its health care reform task force has relied on NFU for input on reform in rural and underserved areas. The president’s plan for health care reform is expected to be un veiled in late September. As multiple component pricing becomes an issue in more and more federal orders, these draw backs should be considered and, if possible, improvements made. This will result in a more equitable treatment of both producers and handlers across the country. J77T<.
