Insurance WASHINGTON Nov The American Medical Association is now willing to support legislation requiring employers to offer health insurance to their workers Support for such required coverage would represent a sharp' shift from the voluntary tax credit approach in the Medicredit plan pending in Congress Through election defeats and congressional retirements AMA lost at least 54 and possibly 56 Medicredit supporters This would still leave 126 co-sponsors highest number of congressional supporters for any pending health insurance bill according to a statement issued here Friday by AMA headquarters in Chicago "We do not expect to feel lost neglected unloved or abandoned fat the new Congress" the statement said Dr Russell Roth immediate past president and chief health insurance spokesman said: still think the tax credit approach is certainly in acceptable way but we would be foolish not to consider mandated coverage" The AMA statement offered the first explanation of what type of coverage the AMA would be willing to support AMA is willing to consider a national health insurance program that would require employers to offer voluntary health insurance to their employes" the statement said "This concept is known as mandated national health insurance It is not compulsory national health insurance a point on which there seems to be considerable confusion" AMA remains opposed to what it termed compulsory insurance which would require workers to accept the health care benefits provided by their employers the statement said 60 Professors Quit Over Uruguay Oath
