PRESIDENT BUSH'S FIRST 100 DAYS IN OFFICE: A CONSUMER VIEW
WASHINGTON, D.C. - George W. Bush will mark his 100th day as President of the United States on April 29. Consumers Union (CU) has looked at major actions by the Bush Administration to date that affected the consumer issues monitored by CU.
We are seriously concerned about the President's decisions on several issues of great importance to consumers, including energy policy, health care, financial services, and telecommunications. Many of the Bush Administration's actions in these areas have favored business interests at the expense of consumers:
1. President Bush refused to help consumers harmed by the Western electricity crisis.
2. President Bush opposed comprehensive protections for patients in HMOs.
3. President Bush proposed large budget cuts and misguided plans for health care.
4. The Bush Administration refused to provide adequate funding for low-income energy assistance.
5. The Bush Administration decided to allow cable TV and telephone monopolies to expand.
6. President Bush endorsed a bankruptcy bill that excessively_punishes honest consumers hit_by unexpected debts.
7. The Bush Administration proposed kiIIing a program to help low-income consumers who cannot afford to open bank accounts.
