Medicare reform debate targets seniors and costs
Republicans push a health care plan for the elderly aiming to save billions as seniors pick HMOs or managed care. Both bills would raise premiums and squeeze payments to doctors and hospitals to control rising costs. The Senate plan would raise deductibles and gradually lift Medicare eligibility to 67. Democrats in the Finance Committee offered a lighter alternative, about 106 billion in savings over seven years, arguing it would still secure the trust fund’s long term solvency.
