Panel OKs health funds for federal planning grants
The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced a bill authorizing 64.9 million dollars for federal health planning grants and contracts this fiscal year. The measure extends the program through 1985 and ends it after that. Rep. Waxman said Social Security reform earlier set a deadline of Oct 1, 1986 for states to have health planning agreements. The bill, 26-15, would streamline hospital funding processes and mirrors a prior House measure that died in the Senate. Rep. Dannemeyer opposed, arguing excessive federal authority.
