Steel and Union Target High Costs of Hospital Care
The steel industry and United Steelworkers Union seek better value for the 135 million dollars spent annually on industrial medical care. They aim to curb Blue Cross Blue Shield costs, study private plants and clinics in steel towns, and finance such facilities partly from industry pension reserves. The plan includes a conference with AMA and AHA this October and a speech by Labor Secretary Mitchell. The Falk report notes doctor overcharges and higher hospital use in steelworker plans, while unemployment reserves may force benefit cuts next year.
