Schweiker Proposes Fixed Medicare Hospital Payments
Health and Human Services Secretary Richard Schweiker proposes a prospective payment system where all hospitals are paid a fixed amount for treating a given diagnosis. The plan aims to curb rising costs in Medicare, currently serving 26 million elderly and 3 million disabled Americans, with a 50 billion dollar budget in 1982 projected to reach 100 billion by 1987. Hospitals would keep savings if costs are lower than the fixed payment, or absorb losses if higher. The proposal, likely to spark congressional and industry debate, faces criticism as too rigid.
