Young Jindal to help shape Medicare future panel
Bobby Jindal a 26 year old who recently married and bought a house will lead staff for a new bipartisan commission on Medicare. The group will report to Congress and President Clinton by March 1999 and Congress is urged to act swiftly on its recommendations. Breaux avoided taking a stance on opening Medicare to ages 55 to 64, while White House seeks a vote this year to aid Democratic gains in 1998 elections. Jindal, born in Baton Rouge and educated at Brown and Oxford, brings youth and experience to the panel.
