Maryland faces federal push to overhaul health regulation system
Maryland must cut health care costs to meet new federal rules or risk dissolving its state framework in favor of a federal system under prospective payments. Regulators say Maryland, though costly, has kept increases below the national average but remains among the top ten most expensive states. The HSCRC is studying the impact and aiming to prove state viability within three years.

Rule to limit hospital fees fails by one vote
The Governing Body of the Health Systems Agency of Western Maryland failed by one vote to adopt a regulation limiting new hospital services that would push costs beyond the state average. The move, intended to curb rising charges amid potential shifts to prospective payments, drew concern of duplication with the HSCRC and prompted calls for further study.
