A national Medicare Medicaid conference opened in Los Angeles at a luxury hotel drawing about 1,000 attendees. Organizers from the Health Care Financing Administration and California agencies defend the event amid complaints that the $600 registration excludes the poor and elderly while a $50 last minute rate if one promises not to eat drew hundreds.

Washington's alcohol use study sparks city debate
A 1983 National Institute on Alcohol Abuse survey ranks Washington DC as the nation’s top consumer of alcohol at 5.22 gallons per person annually, far above the U.S. average. Health officials see no higher alcoholism rate here, while price competition shifts sales to nearby states. Steven Hoglund, a recovering alcoholic, began teaching a course at Open University on alternatives to drinking, promoting social activities like folk dancing, art exhibits, vegetarian dining, and canoeing to help nondrinkers connect without alcohol.
