Belated slowdown in hospital costs cited in Kansas City note
A relative’s three day stay in a Kansas City area hospital cost over 1600 dollars, not counting doctors or radiology. Hospital room was 315 dollars per day in a semi private setting. Despite a 4.5 percent rise in 1984, the smallest in 20 years, experts note admissions fall and outpatient services rise, amid late 1983 federal pricing reforms aimed at Medicare. The writer suggests the pace of inflation is still high despite slowdown.

Opponents warn it could curb local control as more cities pursue power plants to dodge future rate shocks from Wolf Creek and Sunflower.
