Title

"Bush's proposed healthcare 'nonplan'" 1992 televised press conference hosted by AuCoin video recording

Description

A video of U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin hosting a televised press conference from Washington, D.C. reacting to President George H. W. Bush's proposed healthcare program during his 1992 reelection campaign. AuCoin condemns Bush's "nonplan," which he describes as "robbing" funds from Medicare and Medicaid and failing to provide plans for prescription drugs or long term, affordable healthcare programs for the elderly or working class families. For most of the program, AuCoin took questions from reporters who called in over the phone.
This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).
