Senate GOP blocks Democratic Medicare drug plan in Senate vote
Senate Republicans rejected the Democratic bid for a Medicare prescription drug benefit 53 to 44 in a party line vote. Democrats, led by Kennedy and Daschle, argued the plan is comprehensive and affordable, while Republicans urged a bipartisan approach amid election-year pressure. Clinton called the GOP proposal a false promise benefiting drug companies. The Democratic plan would cover all seniors with a government-defined benefit and subsidies for low income, with an estimated $35 monthly premium and $250 deductible, sharing costs beyond.
