President Leonel Fernandez will address the nation tonight in a 9pm speech that will be broadcast on both radio and television. He is expected to try to clear up the current confusion of the people on the Family Health Insurance Plan and announce a postponement of the implementation of the plan until it can guarantee medical services. He is also expected to talk about the long anticipated measure to relax taxes on alcohol, cigarettes and other consumer products that have been hard hit by lost sales due to high taxation measures previously implemented. A side effect of that has been a reduction in government tax revenues.
