Hospitals. 1979 Apr 16;53(8):75-7.
By the end of June 1979, many states must have certification-of-need programs in compliance with federal regulations or lose federal funding for them. By the end of September 1980, states must be in compliance or lose federal funding for all state health resource development programs. Because these steps appear to be too politically severe for HEW to implement, Congress will have to take steps in the 96th Congress to modify the impact of these deadlines.
到1979年6月底，许多州必须设立符合联邦法规的需求证明项目，否则将失去联邦政府对这些项目的资金支持。到1980年9月底，各州必须全面合规，否则将失去联邦政府对所有州卫生资源开发项目的资金支持。由于这些措施对卫生、教育和福利部来说在政治上似乎过于严苛而难以实施，国会将不得不在第96届国会期间采取措施，以缓和这些最后期限带来的影响。
