The Delaware House has given final approval to a bill aimed at curtailing the increase in health care costs by establishing a board with authority to impose budgets on the state’s largest hospitals
The state House on Tuesday gave final approval to a bill aimed at curtailing the increase in health care costs in Delaware by establishing a state board with authority to impose budgets on the state’s largest hospitals. The legislation passed the House on a 24-16 vote with two Democrats joining Republicans in voting against the measure. It triggered strong opposition from the medical and business communities. It now goes to Democratic Gov.
If the improvement plan fails to control prices, the state board can require the hospital to submit the next year’s budget for approval. If the hospital and the board cannot agree on that budget, the board can impose a budget on the hospital. The panel’s decisions could be challenged in Superior Court, but the legislation requires the court to take “due account of the presumption of official regularity and the specialized competence of the board.
