Bill proposes charity fee BATON ROUGE, La.

(UPL Patients checking in to the state's charity hospitals will have to pay a small admission fee if a bill approved by the House on Thursday becomes law. The bill, by Rep. Peppi Bruneau, R-New Orleans, would charge a fee to patients not covered by insurance or the Medicaid and Medicare programs. "There are a lot of people who don't fall into any of those categories who are in charity hospitals," Bruneau said. Lawmakers said the fee would probably be less than $5 Rep.

Diana Bajoie, D-New Orleans, said the fee and the criteria used to determine who would pay it would cause too much confusion and might deny needed medical treatment to someone. "Who is going to make the determination," Bajoie said. "I can see a mass of confusion." The charity hospital system, the only one of its kind in the nation, costs the state about $300 million a year, or 30 percent of the budget, and lawmakers said the measure would help bring the hospital through tough, budget times. The fee would be determined, under Bruneau's bill, by the state Department of Health and Human Resources, and would be subject to review by a legislative panel chaired by Rep. Alphonse Jackson, 1 7 GULF STATES THEATRES 365 0703BAYQU Shoo Ctr.

The Senate refused to include City Park in New Orleans in the refunding priority despite arguments from Sen. Ben Bagert.

D-New Orleans, that the facility was the first state park deeded to the state in 1896 The Senate also rejected repeated attempts by Bagert and other city senators to move up in priority the $173,000 they said was needed to run the Criminal District Courtj in New Orleans. Without the money, Bagert said judges would be unable to summon jurors for the armed robbery, rape and murder trials occurring daily in the state's only court that deals only with felony criminals. "We are not dealing with people who spit on the sidewalk and steal doorknobs," Bagert said "If we allow a spillover into society of people that belong locked up, we're not going to look so good." BATON ROUGE. La UPI) -Despite Gov. Edwin Edwards' predictions to the contrary, members of the state Senate have presented the people of Louisiana with a proposed state budget that balances spending with the massive reduction in state income.

"It's our responsibility to submit a balanced budget to the people of the great state of Louisiana," said Sen. "Sixty" Rayburn, Bogalusa, after the Senate finished work cutting a final $437 million from the document "When you've got the issues facing you that we have had facing us, what other decisions do you have1 I hope they understand." The cuts slashed deep into every corner of state government including basic state support in education and health. After four days of hearings, senators voted 29-10 Thursday night in favor of the budget and sent it to the House, where representatives will review the Senate changes "I could not be prouder to say I'm a member of the Senate," said Senate President Samuel Nunez, D-Chalmette, after the budget was approved "We have witnessed today what might be a turning point in Louisiana," said Sen. Hank Lauricella, D-Harahan. "We did the tough things and we have more tough things to do." Legislative leaders have been at work forging coalitions and educating colleagues to the state's unprecedented revenue crisis caused by a depression in the oil industry that led up to the massive reductions in state spending.

All told, the budget for the coming year cut more than $600 million in state spending $437 million since the spending bill hit the Senate Finance tmmittee a month ago. Many of fhe most essential programs slashed were grouped in a 16-category list for reinstatement should the House come up with revenue raising proposals. Senators opened their debate on the budget accepting, the, fftasivr cut and spent mwA of Otttr etMrgfca Juggling the priorities for refunding. Provisions added to the budget allow the funding of the priority categories as money becomes available. The Legislature will have to come up with $54.5 million to refinance pro A.
