Limit On Hospital Charge Increases Sought By Carter
President Carter proposed a nine percent annual cap on hospital fee increases to save about 2 billion dollars in the new fiscal year. Exemptions cover new federal hospitals and HMO operators, with overall savings projected to exceed 5.5 billion in fiscal 1980. The plan aims to slow inflation in health care and premiums while not fully matching the 5.9 percent cost of living rise. Califano called it a step toward national health insurance funding. A separate bill launches the Child Health Assessment Program with 180 million dollars for its first year to aid needy children.
