H. RES. 485
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that any health care
reform legislation passed by Congress must ensure access to and the
continued advancement of medical technology.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 20, 1994
Mr. RAMSTAD (for himself and Mr. VALENTINE) submitted the following reso-
lution; which was referred jointly to the Committees on Energy and Com-
merce and Ways and Means
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
any health care reform legislation passed by Congress
must ensure access to and the continued advancement
of medical technology.
Whereas the United States enjoys high quality health care
largely because patients have access to the latest medical
technology;
Whereas medical technology not only improves the health of
the citizenry, but also provides cost-effective delivery of
care;
Whereas medical technology, the driving force behind ad-
vances in quality and improved efficiency, must play an
integral role in reforming the health care delivery system;
•HRES 485 IH
Whereas substantial capital investment is needed to bring the
full benefits and cost-savings from technology to health
care delivery;
Whereas the development of medical technology requires large
investments in research and development which are gen-
erated largely by the private sector;
Whereas artificial health care spending limits in any form—
whether they be immediate price controls or controls that
are triggered at a future date—will discourage private in-
vestment and hinder the development of medical tech-
nology;
Whereas the world depends on American innovation for the
development of and access to medical technology;
Whereas research and technology development related to in-
formation and computer technology and application of
those research results to the health care industry are es-
sential to achieving the cost savings necessary to pay for
health care reform;
Whereas innovation and competition, not price controls or ra-
tioning, are the key to cost-control and high-quality
health care; and
Whereas drug and therapy rationing would have unintended
consequences and actually lead to decreased competitive-
ness among suppliers and higher costs for consumers:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This resolution may be cited as the ‘‘Medical Innova-
tion Resolution’’.
•HRES 485 IH
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that any legislation en-
acted to reform health care delivery in the United States
must not include provisions such as price controls and lim-
its on national health care expenditures that would restrict
access to medical technology or hinder its development.
