Bush urges seniors to push for Medicare changes
President Bush urged older Americans to press lawmakers to expand both prescription drug benefits and managed care options under Medicare. He argued managed care would lower costs and increase patient choice, citing Medicare Plus Choice as underfunded and prompting companies to withdraw. Democrats and Republicans debate spending, with Republicans backing 350 billion over 10 years for drugs and managed care, while Democrats propose 500 million for drugs only and no extra managed care funds.
