Medicare Fairness December 14, 2000
 
Dear Friends, The calendar on my refrigerator says that the projected date of adjournment for the 106th Congress is October 6, 2000. In October there were several not-very-secret staff pools going on to guess the real date of adjournment. I doubt anybody guessed December. This may be our last week in session, and there are some important issues still on the table for New Mexico. This morning, I sent a letter to the President about bringing some fairness to Medicare Choice so 15,000 New Mexicans don`t have to go back to basic Medicare on January 1st. I was one of the bi-partisan leaders in the House that worked to get a "floor" for Medicare Choice that would disproportionately help state like New Mexico where the federal government pays half what they do in other states for health care. The President doesn`t like this idea and has said that he will veto the bill in its present form. House and Senate leaders are negotiating with the White House to see if there is common ground so we can get this done. I hope we can get this done. Wish you were here, Heather
