Clinton seeks to calm elderly fears on health reform
White House moves to reassure seniors that Medicare and Medicaid are not being unfairly targeted to fund Clinton's health reform. Officials say savings will come from restraining growth in all health spending, with potential shifts totaling $180 to $240 billion over five years. Medicare covers 31 million elderly and 4 million disabled. Medicaid about 31 million poor people. Clinton met with senior health advisers as plans narrow. A Post report said no mandatory price controls, but government monitoring to curb profiteering and a cigarette tax hike of 50 to 75 cents per pack may fund reforms. Clinton may address Congress in three weeks.
