Health plan in limbo stalls over employer costs
Washington health care planners reported a major snag in Nixon Administration plans for a universal medical care financing bill. Disagreement over whether employer cost sharing would affect unemployment and trigger broader economic and political liabilities has delayed final work on the bill. The plan would start with employers paying 65 percent of costs, rising to 75 percent by 1976, with broad coverage for employed Americans, but exact employer costs remain unsettled as coverage breadth is still under discussion.
