the rest comes to medicare. state-by-state, in our example, if you are not a child, a pregnant woman, if you are a single parent, you basically get medicaid if you have 70% of the party level. as of 2014, there is a mandate that everybody up to 133% of the poverty level gets medicaid. so the attention is on the floor in come individuals who are not covered. -- lower income individuals who are not covered. it is all covered by the federal government. you can debate whether that is good or not, but mainly this is for hospital services. this is not a big disability for nursing homes. most of the spending is covering the uninsured people for traditional coverage as, people, low-income people with families. host: jonathan on the independent line. caller: i have two questions. how do you see the eventual mandates on attacking the issue of illegal aliens, undocumented aliens? the other problem we constantly suffer from it is the drop-off from the amount of payments we see for physician services. thank you for the progr

what happens if you continue to look a the doctors who treat medicare patients? are not all of those part of the alternative scenario? >> yes, they are, senator. >> so, really, this was an attempt by cbo to help us look at what might happen if various things occurred, which might actually happen, that we continue to fix the alternative minimum tax to prevent a large tax increase from being imposed. what would happen if some of the tax cuts from 2001 and 2003 are extended? what happens if we make other changes for doctors reimbursement and treating of medicare patients? you have added now apparently in health care some provisions that some analysts have indicated might not be continued, that there might be a backlash against certain provisions to try to accrue savings that people might resist. you know, whether we look get back or do not look at that, the hard reality for this commission is we are in a circumstance in which it is just as clear as it can be note, under any scenario that we face an unsustainable long-term debt, and is going to take adjustments in sp

i told my members that we have to do medicare reform because if we do not do medicare reform medicare will not exist because medicare uses the same doctors, hospitals -- we still have to cut the cost of health care in this country. we are not efficient. we are not doing it the best way. could i tell you, this bill was good, it began a platform to build on, but we have a lot to do. its coat is a viewer is not convinced by your argument. they send us a message -- guest: social security is not -- susan, it is not bankrupt. absolutely not bankrupt. my heavens, we have people all over the country working and paying into the system. the baby boomers, they paid for the system. they put their hard earned dollars deducted from their paychecks into the system. and what they did was, they said, look, we all trust our government -- or some of us trust our government, but they put that money into bonds. and those bonds should be honored. that is the whole fight. host: south bend, indiana. mike on the republican line. caller: good morning, how are you today? i would just like to make a couple of re

traditional medicare has medicare part a, hospital insurance, part b, medical insurance, and the newest member, part b, which covers a large portion of prescription drug costs street -- part d. medicare beneficiaries were given the option to receive benefits through private health insurance plans instead of through the traditional medicare. these programs are known as medicare advantage or partc. about 20% of seniors are in these programs. all seniors in the medicare program and cannot qualify for assistance they some sort of cost share. basically, medicare pays for medical necessary care and a majority paid for the provider for individual services. in fact, the government does not pay health-care providers the full amount of the cost of treatment under medicare. this has led doctors who treat medicare patients to in effect cover costs from other private insured patients to make up the difference or they just stop taking medicare patients. recently, usa today published in article reporting that the number of doctors refusing new medicare rates is setting a new high. just six months befo

does that include medicare? the support a long-term program to make medicare financially solvent? >> yes. we need to get politics out of as much of our economy as possible, including health care and education. costs have gone up exponentially since we passed the hmo act, and since the medicare and medicaid acts. we need to get medicare back into the responsibility of the individual. let's create our economy and find our own provider. let's find our own health insurance providers. when we take the middleman out, we reduce the cost, the paperwork. we will then have lower costs. that is the ultimate goal. gold is not to control people's lives and tell them what to do, what to eat, or how heavy they should be, or what they should look like. goal is to get a cost lower. we do that by eliminating bureaucracy. we can no longer afford the middleman in washington, d.c. we have to take care of these on a state-by-state issue. when somebody violates the law and does not provide a service that was promised, then we put the full force of a federal government on that person that violated the la

they a foster focused on medicaid, medicare, and overall health care expenditures. he indicated between 1976 and the year 2008, we saw substantial increases in the cost of health care within both medicare and medicaid and with private insurance. medicare the cost grew from 10% of all health care expenditures to 15% from 1976 to 1978. medicare grew in 1976 to 20% in 2008 and private insurance grew from 24 #% of all health care expenditures in 1976 to 34% in 2008. mr. foster pointed out that health care costs are growing faster than the economy, something most of us already knew, and this is the result, he mentioned a number of factors, but two he pointed out that should be of interest to us are the important advances that have been made in health care delivery, that improve and save lives, things like the medical devices used today, and he also pointed out that part of that growth in health care cost is due to improper use of services or overutilization. mr. foster mentioned as well overall cost in the private insurance market are going faster thanmedicaid and medica

medicare grew by 4.5%. this chart only shows the spending at the federal level with federal programs. it does not show the overall cost for the nation and certainly does not factor in private health care spending, which has been rising at a faster rate than medicare spending has been rising. >> there is a brief discussion in the report about overall national health expenditures, but we have explained we do not really model some of the pieces as close as we model some of the federal pieces. there is also a table that compares cost growth in medicare, medicaid, and the rest of the health-care system. the relationship in the rates across parts of the health-care system differs over time, so there are times when medicaid spending has grown faster. there are times when it has grown slower. it depends what time one looks at and the dynamics of the system and the policies your colleagues have been enacting. >> that goes to my final area of questioning. if you could put of chart 8, your three final points -- you me

and the medicare doc fix. thunder realistic baseline the 10-year cost of extending the bush tax cuts $3.2 trillion, the medicare drug entitlement, the iraq and afghanistan spending add up to $4.7 trillion, approximately 1/3 of the deficit, thirdly and most importantly, the white house method soling arbitrary. with washington set to tax $43 billion and spend $46 billion other the next decade how does one know which one causes the intrs 13 trillion deficit. he could have singled out social security, anti-poverty programs, $7 trillion and other medicare spending $5.4 trillion. net interest on the debt $6.1 trillion. the article goes on and on. nondefense discretionary spending. madam speaker, i have a chart here which we have put together which i think does a very good job of showing deficit spending as a percent of g.d.p. that's what really is the way we should look at this. and let me point out that in 1992, under democrat control, the deficit is a -- as a percent of g.d. spmplet this line. 1993, this line. 199

they consistently opposed medicare. and yet when you go to a retirement community, when you meet with seniors across this country, certainly in my district, i can't find one who thinks that we ought to repeal medicare. they know that medicare has made a huge difference in the quality of their lives, and from going from being maybe the most vulnerable demographic group in america in terms of health care coverage, today they are the most protected. that's the efficacy of an effective government program that has made a difference in the quality of lives. mr. speaker, as we celebrate the anniversaries of the older americans act, the social security act and medicare, we also celebrate the adoption of the health care reform act that will make the same kind of difference in years to come and millions of lives now and in the future. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: members are reminded not to traffic the well while another member is under recognition. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from florida, mr. stearns, for f

first of all, this medicare purchasing in bulk, medicare prescription pill negotiations is a big deal. it will save2 $00 wright of -- it will save $200 billion right off the bat. next, 83 of the 100 countries that the bailout money have offshore tax havens. they also get a tax cut to create jobs overseas. if you shut down those to do the polls, right off the bat, is $130 billion in -- if you shut down those two loopholes, right off the bat, is $130 billion in savings. i support pay-as-you-go rules. those were put in place during the clinton administration, and the clinton administration left as the eyeas byfar can see. this is an issue where democrats and republicans will have to work together. i believe in extending tax cuts. this is not a time to be raising taxes, in a recession like we're in right now. extend them. extend them. but let's begin a process, a long-term process of supporting the debt commission that was proposed to come back to congress with some long-term solutions. rand paul wants to say the next year he will propose a balanced budget, but he will not show you what i

medicaid is now able to -- medicare is now able to do this. medicare n work with the private sector, with what is going on in state government to make these sort of systemic changes in payments that are then with the information going to filter through. remember. go back to amazon, go back to southwest airlines and i.b.m. they get the right information, and they get the right incentives. that is what this is about, getting the right information, getting the right incentives, and then telling people to go ahead and do it. the fourth thing is i would be quite open to new organizations helping out. this fall the feder government will release standards for what are called accountable care organizations, organizations that are able to bundle large numbers of medicare beneficiaries, care for them better, take part of the savings as profits and leave some for the federal government. physicians will be able to set up medical homes, something sam was talking about in vermont and other areas. there may be even private ownership here in boston. a private

guest: medicare advantage is a program within medicare for seniors that would like to sign up for a managed care, private managed-care insurance option, as opposed to the traditional fee-for-service medicare that most seniors still get. these managed care plans these have been attractive to many seniors because they can often offer extra benefits -- eyeglasses, sometimes a gym membership, prescriptions even before there was a prescription drug benefit. but there have been a number of studies suggesting that those plans have been essentially over paid by the government. the whole reason that they started was that they argued that managed care it should seize money, a more efficient way of delivering care, and no one be all, these programs were getting about 8% -- and lo and behold, these programs are getting 8% more than traditional medicare. congress said they would bring it more in line with money that we spend on a traditional medicare, and what that means is that seniors may see some of those experts, like the gym membership, disappear. host: next call, north massapequa, new york, democr

the pay in medicare, the cuts actually happened and so on. i want to emphasize that nobody -- this is not 80% of people -- literally nobody thinks the cbo baseline is an accurate rendition of what is likely to happen. i also want to emphasize that that is not an insult to cbo. they're doing what they're supposed to do. they are putting out a base line that says here is what is happening if nothing is changed. if you should pass new laws, it will show the changes relative to the baseline. >> you are good now. just speak louder for people in the room. >> would it be easier if i stood up? ok, i will speak up. if you missed what i said so far, basically, the situation sucks. [laughter] when i have done over the last decade is try to estimate a more realistic option. we call this extended policy. you can think of this as business as usual. we assume that congresses the next 10 years will act more or less like the congresses of the last 10 years. they will extend the test -- tax cuts. they will have tax cuts for the amt to reduce that. we let spend

we ushered medicare into the 21st century. in the final analysis, they said the free market and market reform model actually saved money. now barack obama is in charge and it has changed. i understand the irony. john mccain did not want to have prescription drug coverage for seniors -- for citizens, but he's happy to give it away through his amnesty bill to the tune of $2.60 trillion. and all right. now you have your 30 seconds. -- >> all right. you have your 30 seconds. go ahead. >> i voted against it. the fact is that, again, this is a serious issue. there is violence on the southern -- in northern mexico appeared the most vicious of the drug cartels -- mexico. the most vicious of the drug cartels are doing terrible things. when the transport human beings across the border, they keep them under the most terrible conditions. where are the human rights activists? we need to get our border secured. >> let's move on. mr. deakin, next question. in recent months, much has been made of the role of the borough governments. states ar

the fact is that 10 short years ago, social security and medicare had a surplus. calling the fed makes solutions difficult to find. the american people are not experiments. we can move existing data, it had been known that it would cause a deficit. it is no surprise that it is now in financial trouble. guest: i beg to differ. if you look at the trusties of the social security program, they were projecting unsustainable, says. , much more than we have a plan to cut revenue, but it does state unequivocably that the trustees and best protections has said that we do not have a plan to pay for these benefits. the result is that there would be a huge gap between what is promised and what is taken in. likewise in medicare, we have always known that health care is growing faster than the rest of the economy and that medicare and medicaid costs are going up faster than other programs in the budget. these were always long-term problems. even when we were running a surplus in the trust fund, it had nothing to do with the fact that in the long run there was an imbalance. thos
