Rising Medicaid Costs Lift Bills and Stock Prices

The article notes near one billion in next year’s Medicaid spending and an ESS billion figure. It cites rising physician and hospital fees and argues Medicaid helped turn charity cases into paid patients. Since Medicare and Medicaid began three years ago, doctors’ bills rose 19 percent and hospital bills 48 percent, easing government payment guarantees and reducing cost constraints. Nixon administration changes cooled hospital and nursing home stock prices, with a nursing home chain falling from $55 to $43 a share.
