Senate urged Medicaid reform faces rising costs
A Senate Finance Committee staff report warns Congress must curb rapid health cost growth to avoid turning Medicare and Medicaid into national health insurance. It proposes capping physician fees for both programs, improving HEW controls, and addressing overpayments, with Medicare costs at 8.3 billion and Medicaid at 5.5 billion yearly. The plan targets physician, hospital, and nursing home charges, plus insurer practices, to reduce waste and strengthen program oversight.
