GOD BLESS Government Agencies To Share Health Care Costs CHANGE SCHEDULES A revised schedule of reguar meetings of McHenry County College Board of Trustees, Com­ munity College District No. 528, for the months of Oc­ tober and November are changed from Oct. 23 - 7:30 p.m. to Oct. 30 - 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 20,« 7:30 p.m. to Nov. 1^- 7:30 p.m. FIRE PREVENTION Partners in fire preven­ tion, theme of Fire Prevention week 1980 (Oct. 5-11), calls attention to the necessity for everyone to "think fire safety." Here are some tips: keep ac­ cumulations of buroables at a minimum; keep hot pans and small appliances out of the reach of young children; keep lamp and appliance cords in good condition; and use only the proper size fuses in your fuse box. If anyone in the house smokes, provide large steady ashtrays. Do not smoke in bed or smoke while relaxing in an easy chair or on the couch. The Senate has passed a bill introduced by Sen. Charles H. Percy (R-Ill.) that will encourage federal agencies to cut costs by sharing government's multi- billion dollar health care services. The bill, passed unanimously by the Senate, resulted from a study of the federal government's $10 billion-a-year hospital system. Most of the system consists of hospitals operated by the Veterans Administration and the Defense department. The legislation will clear the way for agencies to share health-care facilities and personnel by removing bureaucratic obstacles to such sharing and by creating incentives to encourage sharing. House action on the bill is expected soon. "Sharing facilities and personnel in the govern­ ment's health care system will benefit the taxpayers who pay the bill and the people who receive the services," Percy said. "It's a simple case of getting a greater return on every tax dollar spent for health care". Percy said numerous cases exist throughout the country that illustrate the waste that results from the failure of government hospitals to share facilites and personnel. A prime example exists, he said, in North Chicago, 111., where the Navy and the Veterans Administration operate hospitals in close proximity. Yet rules and regulations prevent the two hospitals from sharing hospital beds and doctors to meet each other's needs. Percy said the sharing of facilities and personnel between federal agencies could cut the time patients must wait to see doctors, cut travel distances between patients and needed care, improve proficiency of special staff and cut costs. The Veterans Ad­ ministration operates 171 hospitals; the Defense department operates 129 hospitals. Although 202 of these hospitals lend them­ selves to some form of foordi nation in 73 locations, little sharing exists. The Veterans Administration and the Defense department health-care facilities ac­ count for 95 percent of the federal government's direct health-care system.
