Senate Dems offer revised
prescription drug proposal
WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats
blended their liberal and conservative views
to offer a revised prescription drug proposal
Wednesday they hope will appeal to older
Americans this election year.
Democratic Sens. Bob Graham of Florida
and Zell Miller of Georgia last month outlined
a plan, estimated to cost $425 billion over 10
years, that would require older Americans to
pay a $25 monthly premium while the gov
ernment would cover 50 percent of the cost
NEWS IN BRIEF
of a prescription. There would be no
deductible.
But some liberal Democrats, particularly
Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts — the
chairman of the Senate's health committee —
worried that such a proposal might be too
costly for seniors.
The revised $500 billion version — whose
sponsors now include Kennedy and Senate
Majority Leader Tom Daschle — drops the 50
percent copayment. Instead, it would require
a flat copayment of $10 for generic drugs and
$40 for brand name drugs.
The poorest would not have any pay copay
ments or premiums, or would have reduce:
rates, depending on their income level. Hie
would also be a $4,000 cap on out-of-pod;
expenses.
'This bill is just what the doctor ordere:
Kennedy said.
Senate Majority Whip Harry Reid, D-Ne
said Daschle was committed to trying to pc
legislation by August.
But in a sign that the war of words overp;
scription drugs was intensifying, Rep.;
Thomas, a House Republican also writing
proposal, said the Senate plan was"acn4
hoax."
