Welfare fund strain prompts bids to cover drug costs
A county program assisting welfare and disabled residents faces potential shortfalls as pharmacy expenses outpace the budget. Officials seek bids from local pharmacies after Texas Medical Center Hospital declined to fill all welfare prescriptions, with nearly 130 recipients affected. Elderly and disabled clients, including a stroke survivor and a former teacher, rely on Medicaid, Medicare and the fund for medicines. The department relies on income and residency proof to determine eligibility.

Reagan panel urges up to 43 billion in savings over three years
A panel of business executives appointed by President Reagan says the government could save as much as 43.4 billion dollars over three years by reforming management, buying, and debt collection. The group reports 27 of 38 planned studies with total potential savings around 204 billion, though overlaps may reduce the figure. It proposes expanding the Office of Management and Budget into a Federal Management Office, upgrading data systems, tightening procurement, reforming Social Security, and consolidating student loan programs with aggressive debt collection. The panel plans a final report later this year, and its chairman J Peter Grace cautions that action is uncertain.
