Doors Open for Medicare as Hospitals Brace for Cases
United Press International reports Medicare went into effect at midnight, opening access to about 4.12 million Americans. Hospital admins say they can cope with the influx, while critics warn of crowded wards and desegregation issues. Healthcare costs coverages include 60 days hospital care, patient pays first 40, then Medicare pays. a separate optional plan costs 30 monthly with 59 dollar patient initial payment for doctor bills. Civil rights enforcement faces noncompliance in over 600 hospitals, mainly in the Deep South, jeopardizing Medicare participation. Prompted debate includes claims of biased desegregation and predicted patient surges, though hospital officials forecast limited inpatient spikes.
