WASHINGTON AP) Leading members of Congress promise to move quickly on President plan to hold down hospital costs, but a heated debate is expected in both the House and Senate. In a message Monday to Congress, Carter proposed that total increases in hospital bills be limited to about 9 per cent a year at most facilities. Hospital costs have been going up about 15 per cent a year, twice the national inflation rate.

The legislation would limit reimbursements to hospitals from all sources: Medicare, Medicaid, Blue Cross, commercial insurance and individuals. Carter said the plan could save the public, the government and health insurance companies $2 billion the first year and $5.5 billion in 1980. Past attempts to put a 9 per cent lid on increases in Medicare and Medicaid payments for hospital care have failed amid heavy opposition from hospitals and medical associations.
