On the recordSeptember 21, 2000
The Senator from Kansas has been a strong supporter along with my colleagues, Senators Bond and Ashcroft from Missouri, as well as many colleagues, in cosponsoring legislation introduced to eliminate the automatic 15-percent reduction in Medicare payments that would otherwise occur. It would provide a measure of financial relief for those home health agencies that already are cost-efficient and doing a good job. That is what we need to do--to pass that legislation before we adjourn.
