Medicare expansion bill would cap costs for elderly care
The House plan to broaden Medicare coverage would fully cover hospital costs after a deductible and pay 80 percent of prescription drug costs above 500 annually. Doctor bills face a 1043 deductible, nursing home care rises to 150 days. Caps would be about 1800 hospital and doctor costs and 2300 plus 20 percent for high drug bills. Congress should pass it and then tackle broader catastrophic costs.
