- Amendment Number
- 269
- Description
- Amendment sought to change the 1988 Medicare Catastrophic Act by deleting the supplemental premium, while retaining the flat-rate premium, benefits for prescriptions drugs, respite care, improved home health and hospice care, mammogram coverage and spousal impoverishment.
- Purpose
- An amendment to repeal the supplemental premium and many provisions of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act, while retaining the increase in the flat-rate premium along with the new benefits for prescriptions drugs, respite care, improved home health and hospice care, and mammogram coverage. The Medicaid provisions of the Act would be retained. Under the rule, a "king of the hill" procedure is in force, so that adoption of the Stark amendment would supercede the passage of the Donnelly amendment.
