National health policies under the Reagan Administration and the new Congress.

The projected impact of the recent U.S. elections on federal health-care policies and programs is discussed. The elections brought Ronald Reagan to the White House, Republican control to the Senate, and a conservative majority to the House of Representatives. The voters have thus produced a mandate for an end to government intervention as the solution to all the nation's ills. The new power base in Washington will increasingly turn to private industry for provision of health-related services. Costs under a privately based system will be controlled by competition, which is the basis for free enterprise. The nation is at a crossroads in health-care policy. An aging population is in need of more health services, while the government, faced with limited resources, has been moving toward rationing services. Costs must be held down in the short run by voluntary efforts; promoting increased competition provides long-range hope for cost control. Today's leaders should seize the opportunity offered by the new conservative focus of the federal government to shape a viable health-payment system for the future.

Voluntary effort was inevitable, head of FAH says.

The voluntary effort to contain costs was never intended to fight off a single piece of legislation, says Michael Bromberg, executive director of the Federation of American Hospitals. It will unite the various elements in the health care field so that they can successfully face the threat of federal intervention year after year. In addition to the Federation of American Hospitals, the American Hospital Association and the American Medical Association are partners in the voluntary effort.
