Carter unveils broad national health plan outlines
The Carter administration outlined a universal health plan aimed at covering all Americans while containing costs and inflation. HEW chief Califano said a tentative program would be ready by year end and become a legislative proposal in 1979, with phased implementation possibly starting in 1983. Officials warned the plan would burden the federal budget, with costs estimated between 25 and 40 billion dollars annually.

Principles for a comprehensive health care plan
The plan calls for comprehensive and quality health care for all Americans with freedom to choose providers. It would reduce costs and inflation, avoid new federal spending until 1983, and phase in gradually. As each phase proceeds, economic and administrative experiences would guide adjustments.
Health plan aims for universal insurance with multi source funding
The plan would be financed by government funds and employer and employee contributions with the private insurance industry playing a key role under government regulation. Officials stress cost and admin efficiency, delaying introduction until next year and phasing in during the 1980s. The program would guarantee basic coverage including hospitalization physician services X rays and labs and protect families from ruinous medical bills while expanding access and preventive care.
