...drive up its cost. If consumers had to foot at least part of the bill, according to the Administration, they would become comparative shoppers in the medical marketplace, eventually forcing the price of services down and saving the Government money. One Reagan proposal would hike the costs of short-term hospital stays for Medicare patients. There are 29 million of them; most are retirees on fixed incomes. Under the present system, Medicare recipients pay a deductible ($350 in 1984) for the first day in the hospital. Thereafter, Medicare picks up the whole cost through the 60th day, and part...

Even if the short-term cash-crunch problem is solved, Deukmejian critics insist that the Governor's overall plan for escaping the crisis also contains a strong element of make-believe.
