Catastrophic Health Bill Clears House Heading to Senate
The House approved a sweeping Medicare expansion by a 302 to 127 vote, sending a catastrophic health bill toward the Senate. The measure caps annual hospital and doctor expenses for the elderly, with $544 and $1,043 limits for 1988 and 1989, while outlining patient responsibility for higher charges. President Reagan favored reforms but signaled concerns over specifics. the bill reflects broad bipartisan support and contrasts with the president's and Senate versions especially on drug costs and long term care.
