		This time I must make an exception, partly because Bill Gradison is no longer a member of Congress and partly because I believe his example provides important lessons for those elected officials who want to learn how to craft good policy.
		Bill not only respected the role experts inside and outside of government had to play, but he made use of their knowledge to his own end.
		Bill understood implicitly that this type of attitude would be ineffective if one really cared about the policy itself and needed to know how details would affect design, drafting, and implementation.

	G.O.P. Unveils a Bill to Define Patients' Rights
		Bill Gradison, president of the Health Insurance Association of America and a former Republican Congressman from Ohio, criticized the Republican plan as "a mishmash of cobbled-together ideas that are guaranteed to raise consumers' costs, reduce choice and generate more Federal bureaucracy."
		In a surprising statement, Gradison said "we are equally opposed" to the three major patient-protection bills: the House Republican measure; a Democratic bill written by Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Representative John D. Dingell of Michigan, and a bipartisan measure drafted by Representative Charlie Norwood, Republican of Georgia.
		Gradison said the insurance industry was not planning anything like the $15 million "Harry and Louise" television advertisements that helped kill Clinton's plan to guarantee coverage for all Americans in 1994.

	Online NewsHour: Health insurance reform
		Here to discuss the bill is one of its sponsors, Sen. Nancy Kassebaum of Kansas, who chairs the Senate Labor & Human Resources Committee, and one of its leading critics, Bill Gradison, former congressman, now president of the Health Insurance Association of America, a trade group representing 220 insurance companies.
		GRADISON: The price would go up because of the experience that many employers have had with people who've left their companies and then take advantage of the rights which the Senator quite properly has called attention to, to continue under their old policy for a year and a half.
		GRADISON: We think that that's about right, and that of that 25 million, roughly 1,800,000 or less than 10 percent would be involved in the question which is being discussed, which are people that might move from a group to an individual policy.

	: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act

		Gradison: That is jumping to a conclusion that may not be based on fact.
		Gradison: The fundamental principle that separates that President's plan from others is that it is based upon the premise that people should pay what they can towards their own health insurance and that the government should assist low-income people in obtaining insurance.
		Gradison: Certainly small group reforms, for which there's a substantial consensus in Congress, would be a step in the right direction.

		Downey and Gradison, neither of whom served on the House Agriculture Committee, saw little chance of getting the committee to pay attention to their concerns about the sugar program.
		Fifth, Downey and Gradison found it difficult to mobilize consumers and pro-consumer lawmakers over the sugar issue because the amount of money at stake for the average family was relatively small.
