The nation's deputy defense minister, Mordechai Gur, was quoted by Israel radio as telling parliament that "under no circumstances will we allow this situation to deteriorate into a situation of war with Lebanon . ' ' He said Israel had the means to deal with terrorist activity but added: "There is one direction, legislators, that not one of us can claim that he exploited to the end, and that is an overall peace agreement." Still, the Lebanense security sources said that Israel massed on its northern border a mechanized battalion made up of 500 troops, 10 tanks and 15 armored personnel carriers.

In 1950, the United States spent 4.5 percent of its Gross National Product on health care. But that was before the widespread use of ventilators, respirators and transplants and an explosion of costly experimental drug therapies helped send health costs soaring to more than 12 percent of the GNP in 1990. three LIMA.

Miraflores district police had planned to release the six after questioning them about the disturbance, an officer said late Tuespolice inday, but tervened and charged them with "apology to terrorism." The Miraflores officer said the six were being held at police headquarters. police could not immediately be reached for comment. "We're now at the point where we spend so much and what we get back is so little, we can improve the health of our people by spending more on police, schools, parks, libraries," said Dr. Thomas Preston, a Seattle cardiologist. The basic problem is that Americans cannot choose between either a capitalist or socialist approach to health care, according to economist Lester Thurow of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "We say every rich person can buy anything they want, and every middle-clas- s person has to get what every rich person can buy," he said. And the bubble is about to burst, Thurow and others say. Corporations, which now pay nearly four times the cost of health insurance they did 10 years ago, have steadily pushed back more of the costs to employees, and some small businesses no longer can afford to offer coverage. An estimated 37 million Americans lack any insurance coverage even though at least one family member is employed in most of those families. For the wealthy, the system still works fine.
