Kennedy coalition rejects Carter plan to push national health bill
Sen Edward Kennedy and labor and interest groups jawed at President Carter's limited health plan and vowed to unveil a comprehensive bill next month. AFL-CIO chief Meany said the phase one proposal abandons the president's course, while senior citizen groups denounced Califano's outline as piecemeal and vague. Kennedy lamented the administration's modest expansion as inadequate to curb rising costs and criticized the $10 to $15 billion first step as wasteful. White House noted details remain to be set and hospital cost controls must pass first.
