H Con Res 83. Prescription Drug Benefit/Tax Cuts.
Grassley (R-IA) amendment to reserve $300 billion over 10 years to create a Medicare prescription drug benefit and overhaul the program. This amendment was a response to Democratic legislation which would have allocated $311 billion for the benefit and not allowed the benefit’s funding to come from the Medicare Hospital Trust Fund Surplus. Adopted, with Vice President Cheney casting a “yea” vote.
