Concurrent resolution expressing the opposition of the Congress to certain measures for the curtailment of benefits under the medicare and medicaid programs.

Summary

Makes it the sense of the Congress that no amendments should be made to titles XVIII (Medicare) and XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act which would: (1) increase the amount of the deductible, which is applicable (under part A of such title XVIII) with respect to the first day of inpatient hospital services received by a patient, to an amount equal to the average per diem cost of inpatient hospital services; (2) impose a coinsurance amount, with respect to inpatient hospital services (under part A of such title XVIII) received after the first day a patient receives such services, equal to 10 percent of the actual costs imposed for such services; (3) reduces coverage for physicians' services (under part B of such title XVIII) by increasing the deductible applicable thereto from $60 to $85, and by increasing the patient's share of such costs, above the deductible, from 20 percent to 25 percent; or (4) eliminates (under such title XIX) Federal financial participation with respect to costs, incurred under a State plan approved under such title, attributable to the provision of certain low-priority services (including dental care) to adults.
