Health care costs rise as reforms urged by Blue Cross chief
Walter J. McNerney of the Blue Cross Association warns health care consumes about 10 percent of U.S. output, with 547 dollars per person yearly. He cites gaps in care especially for the poor and children and calls for a new health philosophy, expanded Medicaid, cost controls, and broader preventive care while noting potential national health insurance could roll out by 1977.
