Hospital group opposes cost control act of 1977
The Texas Hospital Association objects to the Hospital Cost Control Act of 1977 proposed by President Carter. It would impose a nine percent cap on price increases and add bureaucracy. The group argues higher costs come from food energy telephones malpractice insurance and other supplies. They warn the act would force hospitals to absorb rising costs and could reduce services. They note Texas has a certificate of need program and a Statewide Hospital Productivity Center with broad participation, and say governing regulations already drive costs higher.
