Grassley unveils plan to save 10 billion in health care
Senate Republicans release a Medicaid Medicare savings package that would raise the deficit by 4 billion this year due to short term costs from higher Medicare payments to doctors and new Katrina Medicaid funding. The plan would halt an 11 billion physician payment cut with a 1 percent raise for one year. Grassley, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, says the proposal advances the fall budget agenda amid broader 35 billion spending curbs for floor consideration next month.
