Cincinnati Bell Sees Bright Future Amid Change
Cincinnati Bell President Richard T. Dugan said the company faces a favorable future as it exits certain restrictions and enters new markets. 1982 earnings rose to 4.29 per share on 11.3 percent higher revenues, aided by rate changes, capital recovery, and accounting shifts. The firm outlined ventures with AT&T entities, cellular service in Cincinnati and nearby cities, and Calling Card Service plus Automatic Intercept System to cut costs. Improved electronic switching reached 61 percent of customers with goal to serve all by decade's end. Short-term debt reduced by over 26 million, debt ratio 37 percent, and a lower construction budget due to competition. Dugan emphasized technology leadership and a strong financial position as the path forward.

Celeste budget targets Medicaid costs and care reforms
Governor Celeste outlines a plan to cut Medicaid funding by 100 million over FY 1984 and 1985, with 40 million in 1984 and 60 million in 1985. A 10 million then 15 million special fund for Primary Care incentives is proposed to boost outpatient surgery and reduce office visits, promoting cheaper HMOs and networks. New rules would require physician approval for in hospital care and pre admission screening to shift care toward community based services. Legal challenges from Ohio Hospital Association and a nursing home group cloud the plan as costs rise from 183 million in 1972 to 1.3 billion in 1983 and projected 1.7 billion in 1985.
