Carter Promotes Limited National Health Plan HealthCare Reform
President Carter urged Congress to enact a restrained HealthCare framework combining Medicare and Medicaid with a $2,500 annual out-of-pocket limit per family. The plan would absorb state Medicaid programs, expand eligibility to families under 55 percent of poverty, cap physician fees, and require private plans to cover catastrophic costs. Kennedy criticized the plan as too inflationary and unequal, while supporting broader controls on hospital and physician charges.
