GOOD FISHING John Bishop of LaGrange

had some unusually good luck fishing near Mt. Kineo on Moose head Lake Sunday.

While boating on the lake he scattered a flock of seagulls which had just killed a 37" long 25 lb. togue. John picked the big flsh right off the top of the water by hand, and since the seagulls were just killing it, the fish will make for some fine eating.

bill cohen FROM CONGRESS The legislative process is often complex and frequently

obscure in its workings . Not all important decisions are made by roll call votes on the floor of the House and Senate. One of the most crucial phases of the legislative process is the joint House- Senate conference on bills in disagreement. It is in these seldom publicized conferences that a great many de­cisions are made which directly affect the lives of the indi­viduals in Maine .

I contacted the 1\avy Department, which CJ>..l)resscd support for preservation of Maine Maritime's unit and for my amend­mend. Congressman Kemp checked with the Armed Ser· ~~s Committee counsel, and he saw no problem with the an...._..J­ment. Finally, Congressman Kemp offered the amendment before the entire conference, and the conferees quickly agreed to its adoption. The whole procedure got no headlines, but it proved very important to the sutdents of the NROTC program at Maine Maritime Academy.

In order for any bill to become law, it must be passed by both the House and Senate. Since, however, the two Houses frequently make conflicting modifications in any given bill, representatives of both bodies are routinely called together to resolve these differences. Just prior to the adjournment of Congress for the August recess, a House-Senate conference consider.ed the Defense Department Appropriations bill legis-lation which contained a provision which directly aff~cts the Mll..O PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWSLETTER naval reserve officers training program at the :\Iaine Maritime We have a new novel by Dorothy Eden, The Salamanca Academy in Castine.

"CONTAINING HEALTH COST INFLATION" While inflation touches nearly every aspect of our lives,

nowhere is lts affect more visible than in the area of health care.

The cost of health care has skyrocketed to the point where many people simply can't afford to get sick. Too often, people who need medical attention don't get it because they simply can't afford it.

Just 20 years ago, health care cost about five per cent of our gross national product. Today, that figure has increased to 8. 0 per cent -- and it must be remembered that our GNP has risen substantially over the last 20 years.

Perhaps a better illustration ls the cost of health care in 1965, compared w-lth- the cost of health care today. Just 12 years ago, the yost of an average hospital stay was $300. To­day, that s~e average stay costs $1, 200,

In 1976 alone , the cost of a hospital stay increased 15 per cent, a f)gure two and a half times as great as the increase in the Consumer Price index. The increase was even higher than the increase in food and energy.

The time has come for Congress to take action. Recently, Senator Kennedy and I introduced President Carter's Health Cost Containment Act to control rising hospital costs. I don't agree with all the provisions of the blll, but lt does offer some short-term answers to health care cost inflation. Additional legislation ls needed to cover the entire scope of health care.

The Carter Administration claims the blll will save about $2 billlon in 1978 and as much as $5.5 billion by 1980.

The bill would do this by limiting in-patient reimburse­ments to acute care hospitals; by discouraging unnecessary hospitalization and by outllning other areas of cost control.

After introducing the bill, I chaired Senate He3;lth Sub­committee hearings in Bangor to give Mainers a chance to comment. One of the things that became obvious was that the Carter bill will place a particular burden on small rural hospitals.

Most of Maine's hospitals can be classified as small. Thus, the legislation, while well-meaning and important, could have adverse effect on health care in our state.

Obviously the legislation would do little good Lf lt resulted in a decrease in the quality of health care Ln Maine or in other states. We should be careful to make the bill effective while ensuring that it does not lessen health care quality by penaliz-ing small or efficient hospitals. ·

One way of dealing with this may be to exempt small hoa.­pitals from all the provisions of the legislation, at least for t' first few years. The bUlls in Committee now and the posst.-' billty of this exemption being included is very gOod.

Whatever the final result of the legislative process is, we have made a start toward getting our runa~ayhealth care costs under control. Senator William Hathaway
