Congress Weighs Big Cuts to Medicaid and Medicare
By ROBERT PEAR
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 - Congressional committees have proposed
substantial cutbacks in Medicaid and Medicare, the nation's largest
health insurance programs, which together cover more than one-fourth of
all Americans.
The two houses of Congress are expected to approve the changes in the
next two weeks as part of competing bills to slow the growth of federal
spending. Negotiators from the two chambers would then try to work out
the differences.<<
