Health woes hit poor children's eye and ear care
Washington UPI reports that only about 1 million of an estimated 13 million eligible children have been tested under the Medicaid Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment program. Rep. Moss says many poor children need treatment for poor bearing, sight, tooth decay, mental retardation, learning disabilities, and iron deficiency anemia. HEW defends the program as high priority and aims to screen 2.5 million children in fiscal 1977 at a cost of about 250 million dollars, after screening 1.7 million last year.
