Hospitals. 1990 Aug 20;64(16):33-4, 36.
Despite a recent Congressional Budget Office report questioning the need for Medicare's disproportionate-share adjustment for many hospitals, federal lawmakers not only continue to support the add-on but hope to increase it in FY 1991. However, congressional debate over the issue was widened to include some fundamental questions about the original legislative intent of creating the disproportionate-share payments and what such funding is used for today.
尽管美国国会预算办公室最近的一份报告对医疗保险针对许多医院的比例失调调整的必要性提出了质疑，但联邦立法者不仅继续支持这一附加条款，还希望在1991财年增加该条款。然而，国会关于这个问题的辩论范围扩大了，包括一些关于设立比例失调支付的最初立法意图以及如今这些资金用途的基本问题。
