President Pleased with Medicare Progress
Statement by the Press Secretary
The President is encouraged by today's agreement between Senators
Grassley and Baucus, and the progress being made in Congress to improve
and strengthen Medicare, including providing seniors with a
prescription drug benefit. We have a real opportunity to get something
done this year, while providing America's seniors with more choices and
better benefits so they can choose the care that best meets their
individual health needs.
The President will continue to work with Congress to pass Medicare
reform this year.
