Changes in Medicaid Medicare forecast s
White House officials seek fundamental reforms to Medicaid and Medicare to curb federal domestic spending. Proposals include tighter federal payment limits for hospital and physician care, higher Medicare premiums, and a new payroll tax for federal employees to fund the Medicare trust. Richard S Schweiker outlined the plan in a memo to David Stockman. Reagan aims for quick approval. The 1983 federal Medicare outlay totaled 33 billion dollars for 29 million beneficiaries.
