MILWAUKEE, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement was released

Bush's address at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
"Fortis Health strongly supports the efforts of President Bush and others
in Washington to address the needs of America's uninsured. The refundable
health credits and expansion of Medical Savings Accounts will help control
health care costs by providing consumers new, affordable choices.

initiatives, as this area has a rich history in the insurance industry. In

affordable health care coverage. We welcome market-based efforts to keep
health care costs low and reduce the number of uninsured individuals and
families. Fortis Health continues this commitment by being an enthusiastic
