Requires employers of not less than 25 individuals to offer as a part of any health benefits plan the option of membership in qualified health maintenance organizations which are engaged in the provision of basic and supplemental health services in health maintenance organization service areas in which at least 25 of such employees reside. Provides criminal penalties for employers who violate this provision. Authorizes the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, in order to enforce compliance with assurances made by health maintenance organizations respecting the provision of basic and supplemental health services, to bring a civil action in Federal court. Makes appropriations to finance the activities of health maintenance organizations for fiscal years 1977 and 1978.
