Hatch SELF CONTROL IN HEALTH CARE COSTS The most immediate problem nation's medical facing the is, obviously, the community of health care. costs skyrocketing These costs, so visible to the consumer, are now becoming visible to the medical profession itself through increased malpractice insurance costs because of consumer spawned legal action. At the same time, in order to offset the great expense of medical care, the public is clamoring for some form of National Health Insurance. A recitation of the increasing costs of health care will give you some indication of the enormity of the problem. These are the figures Hill in Capitol rattling around D.C. that are Washington, influencing the Congressional view of the health care cost dilemma. At the beginning of the recently completed 95th Congress this country was spending $162.6 billion on health care. That represents a per capita expenditure of $787.00 for every man, woman and child in the country. In other words, approximately five full weeks of a Utahn's income is spent annually on health care. The national health care price tag has nearly doubled in the last six years, and since 1950 the , amount has increased more than eleven-fold- . when a Naturally consumer, pays this kind of a premium for a service, such as health care, he expects it to be beyond .' Legislation to control health costs at the state level is only a stop gap solution in a growing credibility crisis facing the medical world. Those in the political arena can do little to restore the poise and dignity of the medical community, so tarnished by growing medical costs and increasing claims of malpractice. On the other hand, National Health Insurance is a matter that can be dealt with by politicians. President Carter has promised a bill on this issue before the end of the 96th Congress, and its bound to be one of the biggest fights the national legislators will face. National Health Basicly, Insurance is the beginning of collectivism and the first material step toward socialized medicine. Many excuses have been offered to justify the reported need for this federal program such as: more equitable distribution of health resources and services - a direct attack on the free enterprise system and the medical community's "hiippocratic oath". Or, that the medical community can't adapt to rising health costs and the federal government is the only answer. That assertion is unfounded. Health care costs can be controlled at a price most people can afford, but it will take a commitment from the health services distributors and .an alternative to the populist programs now pending in Congress. , reproach. grade to the induction date which will be held in early December.

The amendment must win the approval of 38 state legislatures within seven years in order to become part of the Constitution. Unfortunately, the arguments on both sides of the question which proposes to treat the District as though it .vere a state have become as clear as black and white to many people. That is, D.C. representation is becoming a racial issue, tied largely to ones sympathy towards the Districts overwhelmingly black population, rather than on the relative merits of and need for the proposal. As the Washington Post reported, part of the strategy of supporters is to put pressure on Senators who have large numbers of blacks in their states. The race issue is as phony as a $3 bill. The constitutional decision to locate the seat of our government in a District geographically separate from any state was made at a time when few blacks lived in the area and their right to vote was not even an issue. Though the city has undergone many physical and organizational changes since its original inception, most of the changes involving its relationship to Congress have taken place in just the past 15 years. Since 1961 , for example, Washingtonians have had the right to vote in presidential elections. In 1968, Congress passed an act allowing residents of the city to elect members of their school board. In 197u, Congress granted the people of the District the g right to elect a delegate to Congress. In 1973, the Council received power to legislate in local matters. Congress retains power, under Article I of the Constitution, to enact legislation and to veto or supercede the Councils acts, however. The reason for this, Thomas Ascik of The Heritage Foundation points out in a penetrating analysis of the issue, is that It is not possible to separate the land area of the District of Columbia from its one and only activity, the daily business of the federal government. The federal government employs 38.2 percent (223,900 employees) of those working in the District . . . (and) trends show an ever increasing domination by the federal government. In addition, Washington is guaranteed a recession-proo- f Since Federal economy. As the Heritage study says, spending is ever increasing, the area of the District has an assured boom economy. In Washington the federal government is omnipresent and nearly omnipotent. There are no competing factors or interests. season of love and goodwill. May people the world over share ow in its joys.
