AFL-CIO calls for national health plan to curb rising medical costs
The AFL-CIO Executive Council warns runaway medical costs could lead to a $100 daily hospital fee and proposes a seven point program including group practice plans, efficient staffing, a standard physician fee schedule, average cost hospital reimbursement, unified financing for hospital and doctor bills, FDA drug efficacy reviews, and hospital oversight of physicians. The statement also criticizes Medicare and Medicaid program origins and notes the elder burden from a Medicare supplement premium hike. Spring weather spurs bicycle caution as safety officials urge vigilance for cyclists emerging from driveways and between cars.
