BY: Joseph R. Montante, Commissioner
RE: Health Care Costs
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, there is a national concern with the soaring costs of hospitalization; and
WHEREAS, because of publicity and the affirmed belief that health care is everyone's
right without individual responsibility; and
WHEREAS, this right has shifted today's medical practice from an office to hospitals,
and medical centers with increase in beds, staff and maintenance costs; and
WHEREAS, HEW and local regional HSA are attempting to swing this trend back to
the home, office and outpatient clinics; and
WHEREAS, HEW and local regional HSA's are attempting to consolidate acute care
hospital beds where needed to help contain health care costs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that MAC endorse the concept that governments,
in areas where there are sufficient number of acute care beds, be well advised to remove
themselves from operating any new health care institutions thereby continuing the nation's
serious concern of containing health care costs.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
