Addressing Concerns over Hospital Cost Containment Legislation1979-07-19unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_109_4_22_23_0014The document is a response to a communication expressing views on hospital cost containment legislation. The writer supports limiting rising healthcare costs but is against mandatory control programs, instead proposing substitute amendments to establish cost control goals and an independent commission to monitor them. The legislation will likely not be scheduled until late September, and the writer thanks the recipient for sharing their thoughts.
