Low turnout at South Carolina Medicaid hearings draws concern
Attendance at a series of Medicaid hearings in Columbia and Greenville was sparse with only a hospital representative present at Greenville and fewer than a dozen at Columbia.

The dispute over the disproportionate share program and hospital bonuses totaled about 377 million dollars in fiscal 1991 92, highlighting concerns about costs and care delivery. Donna Murphy urged comparing hospital and home health care costs to inform policy decisions.
