Book excerpt: In 1997, Congress passed the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA, P.L. 105-33), which included provisions to create the Medicare+Choice (M+C) program. This legislation redesigned the system for setting Medicare payment rates for health maintenance organizations and other private plans that contract with Medicare. The new payment structure is designed to reduce variation in payments across the country by increasing payments in areas where they are traditionally low and slowing the rate of growth in areas with higher payments. The M+C program also established new rules for beneficiary and plan participation. These new rules were devised to expand health plans to markets where access to managed care plans was limited or non-existent, and to offer new types of health plans in all areas. The M+C program has had limited success at expanding coverage, and the initial moderate growth which increased M+C enrollment has been on a downward turn since 2001. In 1999, Congress enacted the Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA, P.L. 106-113) to address some of the issues arising from the passage of the BBA. The BBRA included changes to the M+C program in an effort to make it easier for Medicare beneficiaries and plans to participate in the program. Further refinements to the M+C program were included in the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000, (BIPA, P.L. 106-554). The 107th Congress considered, but was not able to reach agreement on major legislative changes to the Medicare+Choice program. The House passed H.R. 4954 on June 28, 2002, a bill that would have increased M+C payments in 2003 and 2004 and then in 2005 would have created a new Medicare+Choice competition program and a demonstration program. Two bills were introduced in the Senate that would have also made major changes to the M+C program. S. 3018 (introduced by the Senators Baucus and Grassley et al.,) contained similar provisions to H.R. 4954 to increase M+C payments 2003 and 2004. S. 2729 (introduced by Senator Grassley et al. - the tripartisan bill) would have based payments in M+C on competitive bids by plans. Neither bill was passed by the Senate. This report focuses on M+C payments. For a discussion on the recent trends in Medicare managed care, along with an overview of the M+C program, see CRS Report RL30702, Medicare+Choice.

Book excerpt: The November 1994 midterm elections were a watershed event, making possible a Repbulican majority in Congress for the first time in forty years. Contract with America, by Newt Gingrich, the new Speaker of the House, Dick Armey, the new Majority Leader, and the House Republicans, charts a bold new political strategy for the entire country. The ten-point program, which forms the basis of this book, was announced in late September. It received the signed support of more than 300 GOP canditates.

Book excerpt: "The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.
