Nearly three of every four Americans say they'd pay a nickel a gallon more for gasoline to address global warming. But most view it as less of an environmental threat than toxic waste or pollution of the air and waterways, a poll says. Only about one-fourth of those surveyed said they worry a great deal about the warming of the earth because of heat-trapping gases. Nevertheless, 73 percent would pay five cents a gallon more for gasoline and 60 percent as much as 25 cents more to deal with the potential problem if other nations address it as well. The poll, conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press, comes as the United States and nearly 160 other countries prepare for climate negotiations in Kyoto, Japan, next month to work out binding reductions of greenhouse gases by industrial nations.

While the proposals before the conference would limit mandatory emission cuts to industrial countries and not developing nations such as China the Pew survey shows Americans are adamant that all nations participate. Clinton endorses 'bill of rights' for patients By Service WASHINGTON, D.C. President Clinton endorsed on Thursday a health care "bill of rights," which prescribes patient protections supported by many states, employers and even some Republicans. "It is a mild piece of consumer protection law that corresponds to a lot of other protections in areas such as air safety and banking," said Robert Blendon, a health policy professor at Harvard University. "It is in the mainstream." But some critics have called the proposal excessive government intrusion.

And a fight is looming in Congress about whether the "rights" should be embodied in federal law, as Clinton is proposing, and how much that would cost. The provisions were drafted by a 34-member presidential commission of doctors, consumer advocates, business people and policy experts. Recommendations include allowing patients to go to the nearest hospital in an emergency, guaranteeing access to specialists, providing detailed information about quality of care, and creating system for appealing denials of care to a neutral party. The proposals are meant to ad- Seven of every 10 respondents to the Pew survey said rich and poor countries alike should share equally in addressing the threat of climate change, although industrial nations such as the United States up to now have been the major contributors of greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. Only 19 percent of the 1,200 people surveyed nationwide believed that poor nations including developing countries such as China should be allowed to do less on global warming, said the survey.

dress widespread anxiety about managed-care plans, the newly dominant form of health insurance in America. Managed care aims to cut medical costs by reducing unneeded treatments and stressing prevention, but critics say it can stand in the way of the sick getting the care they need. A major telecommunications company GTE voluntarily adopted the "bill of rights" Thursday. GTE will require the health plans that provide coverage for 400,000 employees and their dependents to abide by the standards. A senior GTE executive, human resources head J.

Randall MacDonald, served on the commission. Supporters of federal legislation, including Clinton, many lawmakers of both political parties, consumer groups, doctors and some employers and managed-care plans, say a single national standard for ensuring quality care is needed. They say that 40 percent of privately insured workers are in federally regulated plans that are exempt from any consumer protections passed by the states. Many states have adopted stricter rules than the federal government.
