GME funding due for a change

Article Abstract:

Six health care organizations and Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY) have separately created similar proposals for redirecting and expanding graduate medical education (GME) funding. Moynihan's bill would create a GME trust fund financed by $9 billion in Medicare contributions and $4 billion each from Medicaid and revenue from a 1.5% assessment on health insurance premiums.

Rosy prediction meets reality: 'slow rush' to medical savings accounts

Article Abstract:

Medical savings accounts were expected to exceed the government limit of only 750,000 plans when they were established in Jan 1997. Only 9,720 people established them between Jan 1, 1997 and Apr 30, 1997. A total of 1,787 people who established a medical savings account were uninsured and could not be included in the 750,000-plan limit.
