Statement of Fact: The per diem rate at the City Hospital was
last revised in May of 1977. Since that time the Hospital has
experienced a per patient day cost increase of from $3720 to
$46.70..- Under the Medicare and Medica�4 programa, the Federal

ver is lower. Since the City's charges are lower, we are los-

generate an additional $23,246 per year.
