Medicare drug benefit eyed for elderly and disabled
Panel laboring on a floor amendment to expand Medicare benefits votes 24 to 12 in favor of coverage that would pay 80 percent of outpatient prescription drug costs after an $800 yearly deductible, with higher premiums to fund the benefit. The proposal could affect up to 10 percent of about 30 million beneficiaries as part of a broader bill on catastrophic illness costs. An alternative, more generous plan from Energy and Commerce would cover all drug costs after a $1,500 deductible.
