members of NFU on September
21 to discuss health care and rural
issues. During the White House
visit, Mrs. Clinton warned that
there will be a move to cut
Medicare in the next session of
Congress. In the absence of real
health care reform, she said these
Medicare cuts will especially
impact rural communities, lead
ing to closings of rural hospitals
and increases in local taxes to
compensate for the shortfall.
The First Lady commended
Farmers’ Union for its efforts in
health care reform. The organiza
tion has called for universal cov
erage, 100 percent deductibility
of health care premiums for the
self-employed, among other
things. “This is an issue that’s not
going to go away,” she said,

blaming the stalemate in Con
gress on a “massive misinforma
tion campaign.”
Mrs. Clinton told the group
that family agriculture is not only
a living, but a “way of life critical
to the American way of life.” She
expressed concern that the voice
of farm families is being ignored
in favor of “the very large and
very powerful.”
