                       RESOLUTION 15-S.F.No. 2525 
 A resolution memorializing the President and Congress 
of the United States to enact a program of national 
health insurance. 
    WHEREAS, next to life itself, each person's personal health 
is their most serious need; and 
    WHEREAS, the continued and increasing high cost of health 
care and health insurance puts health care beyond the reach of 
many Americans; and 
    WHEREAS, recent statistics have shown that many Americans 
are, in fact, doing without health insurance; and 
    WHEREAS, after many years of trying to reduce health care 
costs it is plain that they will never be reduced to a level 
where all Americans can afford health care or even health care 
insurance; and 
    WHEREAS, these problems can only be cured by providing 
health care insurance on a national basis to all Americans; NOW, 
THEREFORE, 
    BE IT RESOLVED by the Legislature of the State of Minnesota 
that the Congress of the United States is urged to speedily 
enact, and the President of the United States approve, 
legislation providing for national health insurance.  
    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of State of the 
State of Minnesota is directed to prepare certified copies of 
this resolution and to transmit them to the President of the 
United States, the President and Secretary of the United States 
Senate, the Speaker and Chief Clerk of the United States House 
of Representatives, and to Minnesota's Senators and 
Representatives in Congress.
