Carter Reveals HealthCare Plan For Universal Coverage
President Carter aims to propose a national health insurance program named HealthCare offering basic benefits to all Americans with no charge for covered services. It would cap out of pocket costs, phase in gradually, and allow private insurers to compete while government would fund most costs. Federal Medicare and Medicaid portions would transfer into HealthCare. A draft outlines cost estimates near 40 billion dollars annually, with 30 billion from the federal government and 10 billion from employers.

Kansas DOT faces critique on highway maintenance costs
Kansas DOT argues maintenance costs appear higher than Nebraska and Missouri due to accounting standards. Officials say most 1977 costs were labeled maintenance even when funded as construction, and compare over different methods. They note ongoing reforms to reduce staff by about 200 and shift to preservation driven practices.
