Carter seeks nine percent cap on hospital fee hikes
President Carter proposes a nine per cent annual ceiling on hospital charges to curb inflation and save about 2 billion in the current fiscal year with exemptions for new, federal, and HMO hospitals. The plan aims to slow health care cost growth and reduce insurance premiums, offset by an overall 5.5 billion in 1980. It also introduces a new Child Health Assessment Program to expand care for poor children, replacing the ineffective Medicaid child screening program.
