Jack Ashby, who is a research director at the commission said that they expect the recommendation to have no effect on hospitals' ability to furnish care to Medicare beneficiaries. But Richard J. Pollack is the executive vice president of the American Hospital Association, said the cutback could damage the quality of hospital care. He said already that two-thirds of hospitals lose money serving Medicare patients. Mr. Pollack said that at the same time cuts are being proposed, and said that demands on hospitals are increasing.
