Cover Story | In hist last hours as a senator, Bob Dole cut a deal in hopes of saving a health-reform bill that provides insurance portability for job hoppers (which is likely to raise the cost of insurance) and a compromise provision of tax-free medical savings accounts for small businesses (which is likely to control health care costs). President Clinton has the choise of either suporting the package or making it a campaign issue that could cost him with voters nervous about health coverage. Others, meanwhile, are not looking to Washington. They're bypassing traditional insurance in favor of Christian cost-sharing networks, with their prayer support and low-risk lifestyle pools.
