Rule would require analysis of health care
WASHINGTON (AP) — A
proposed rule calling for cost-
benefit analysis of new types of
medical care for the elderly could
put additional burdens on Medi
care recipients, critics said Sun
day.
"I find it a little paradoxical
that a program designed to pro
tect senior citizens against cost
now rpay be stepping back from
its public obligations to protect
them just because something
may be too expensive," Gordon
B. Schatz, a lawyer who special
izes in health-care issues, said
Sunday.
The rule, which is awaiting
adoption, would require the fed
eral government for the first time
to compare costs and benefits of
specific types of care in deciding
whether to pay for them.
Horace B. Deets, a top official
of the American Association of
Retired Persons, said he wasn't
familiar with the rule but wor
ried that it, like other proposals
to deal with health costs, would
merely "shift the cost perhaps
from the government to individ
uals."

Survey: 61 percent of cases

DALLAS (AP) — Police offi

A review of 246 cases in five
Texas cities found that 61 per

their punishment were re

reported Sunday in a copy

won't."
Smith said the residents will
continue to call and write Uni
versity and state officials, as well
as try to publicize the issue in the
College Station community.
Some residents voiced con
cerns about being forced to quit
school because they won't have
enough money for classes and a
possible rent increase.
Eric Truax, graduate student
and student worker at A&M,
says he will have to quit school if
he is faced with a rent increase.
"I thought I could live and af
ford to go to school here," he
said. "Now I don't know if I can
stay in school at all."
Truax said there are other peo
ple in the same situation and
people on a low income can't af
ford to move.
Truax said he doesn't know if
the possible destruction of the
duplexes is the reason for rent
increases in the community, but
the rent increases are every
body's problem, so everybody
should be concerned.
"The University has only done
minimal maintenance on the
outside (of the duplexes)," he
said. "The inside of most of them
is nice and very livable."
A survey taken by one of the
residents in the duplex showed
that 85 percent of the residents
were against destruction of the
duplexes. The survey also found
that 63 students and 50 or more
children would have to be relo
cated.
Another graduate student,
who wished to remain anony
mous, said a University
statement that there is plenty of
housing available for the resi
dents is untrue.
"There are waiting lists for
people who are waiting for hous
ing in this area," she said. "How
can they say there's plenty avail
able?"
University officials have taken
the decision lightly, she said,
and they don't realize there are
families with children being
forced to relocate.
"Even if they want to get out
of the housing business, they
can't just throw out lamilies
she said.
If the University has chectel
to make sure there is plenty if
housing available for the re?
dents, she said residents havenf
seen the results. She said thec j
plexes are convenient becausi
they are close to campus and :|
expensive.
"Of course we may be able:
find housing that's more expecj
sive," she said. "But some place
won't allow families or pets i
live there."
Donald Powell, in a previosl
interview, said the Universitfi
aware of the resident's conceirl
and is working to miniird
problems.
"Setting the demolition
August would correspond v
the University's fiscal calem
and would allow the tenant H
months to relocate," he
"No one's going to be turnedf
on the street."
Smith said, "This pro!
isn't going to go away, and»l
