Health plan clash as Carter pushes phased national plan
Washington sources say President Carter faces heavy congressional resistance as he bids to push a first phase of a national health plan. Key figures like Long Waxman Ullman and Kennedy clash over scope and timing while proposers argue for a nationwide health program with an $18.2 billion federal HealthCare layer and a $6.1 billion employer coverage mandate. The plan aims to cover all 156 million full‑time workers and families after a $2,500 out‑of‑pocket limit, with elderly and poor participants on HealthCare receiving adjusts in physician fees and services.
