State Financing For University Hospitals Urged
An Oklahoma study committee headed by Rep. Jim Bullard urged fully financing the University Hospitals by channeling Crippled Children’s Commission funds for charity patients to private hospitals. Gov. Raymond Gary received the report detailing a projected $300,000 increase in state appropriations and a potential $500,000 annual need to finance all state hospitals. The commission’s dispute over funding private versus university hospitals prompted the plan.
