Nussle says bill will change Medicare for the better

April 29, 2002 By admin

There’ll be -no- cuts in Medicare funding or coverage according to Iowa Congressman Jim Nussle. Several groups, including nursing homes, have issued warnings that the rumored cuts will cost about 50-dollars per patient, per day, starting in October, but Nussle says not to worry.Nussle, a republican from Manchester, says there will be changes in Medicare, for the better. Iowa is last in the nation for Medicare reimbursements; the money doctors, hospitals and other medical professionals are paid by the federal government for treating seniors. Nussle says he remains hopeful the legislation to improve Medicare will be passed before Memorial Day.
