WASHINGTON (AP) — Texas won’t lose $5 bil lion in federal Medicaid money, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said Thursday after receiving assurances from Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole that a solu tion to the nagging fiscal problem would be found. The Texas Republican and other state leaders, in cluding Gov. George W. Bush, have been working for weeks to redress the funding disparity between the House’s rewrite of the $155 billion joint federal-state health plan for the poor and the Senate’s. As part of the GOP’s drive to balance the bud get by 2002, Republicans want to reduce Medic aid’s overall growth by $182 billion over seven years — prompting competition among states for a limited number of dollars. Under the House version, Texas would receive $54 billion in federal Medicaid funding over seven years for health care for low-income children and their mothers, the disabled and impoverished seniors. The Senate Finance Committee allocated $5 bil lion less to Texas and also gave a dozen other states less money than the House, prompting an outcry from the losing states. “We haven’t seen the final, fi nal numbers but (Dole) did tell me that Texas would be fixed,” Mrs. Hutchison told reporters af ter a news conference on Bosnia. “And, I expect that that means that we will get the full $5 billion that was put in the House bill.” While details of the fix were sketchy, part of it includes ad ditional funds to Texas based on its large numbers of illegal immigrants. Hutchison, who agreed to at tempt to negotiate a better funding formula for the affected states, has threatened to vote against the massive budget reconciliation pack age that includes Medicaid. The reconciliation bill, which is a cornerstone of the GOP agenda, includes the Republican blue print to a balanced budget in seven years, tax cuts, and reform of Medicare, welfare, farm policy and a host of other programs. Dole Heart trouble plagues Russian president □ Boris Yeltsin was hospitalized yesterday after suffering his second apparent heart attack since July. MOSCOW (AP) — President Boris Yeltsin was rushed to a hos pital by helicopter Thursday with his second apparent heart attack in four months, reviving doubts about whether he is healthy enough to govern Russia. The 64-year-old Yeltsin has dominated post-Soviet Russia, and his health is a matter of con stant speculation, particularly with parliamentary elections scheduled for December and presidential elections in June. The illness came two days af ter a summit in the United States where Yeltsin succeeded in boosting his and Russia’s role in efforts to settle the war in the former Yugoslavia. “I’d say his state is less serious than in July,” spokesman Igor Ig natiev told reporters at the Krem lin. “The president is in charge.” Yeltsin was hospitalized for almost a month, then took a long holiday after an attack in July of acute ischemia, a condition that restricts blood flow to the heart. Presidential aides initially tried to play down that attack, claiming it was only a minor ail ment. Yeltsin later called it a heart attack. "I would never vote for him, but this is a terri ble thing." — Lena Russian citizen Top presidential aide Viktor Ilyushin said Thursday that Yeltsin was suffering from the same ailment, and he blamed it on overwork. At a news conference, Ilyushin cited “the intellectual, moral and physical pressure on the president of Russia during his last trip.” Throughout his presidency, Yeltsin has had periods of poor health and has been dogged by rumors of drinking. He has ap peared fitter recently, however, and aides have talked about his making a bid for a second presi dential term in June. Yeltsin’s popularity has been hurt in recent years by the country’s declining economy and other problems. Aides said Thursday, howev er, that the president had shown signs of exhaustion at the end of his U.S. trip. Ilyushin said he was working too hard on the flight home. “In the future,’’ he said, “Yeltsin’s foreign trips should foresee a certain time for his normal adaption to different time zones, and several days of rehabilitation after the pressure during the flight.” “God be with him,” a woman who identified herself only as Lena said Thursday as she strolled near the hospital with her daughter. “I would never vote for him,” she said, “but this is a terrible thing.” NEWS Greek charity car wash to be held Saturday Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and Kappa Alpha Theta sorority are hosting a car wash Saturday at 9 a.m. to 1 2:30 p.m. at the Sam's Club in College Station.
