SEN. PRYOR LIKELY TO INTRODUCE THREE-TIERED MEDICARE DRUG BENEFIT PROPOSAL TO SENATE; S 2239 IS CLOSER TO PREVIOUS STYLE, DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE HIGH PRIORITY
Executive Summary
Sen. Pryor (D-Ark.) will probably use the three-tiered/managed care incentive proposal for a Medicare outpatient drug benefit as his preferred amendment to health care reform legislation when the full Senate takes up the issue later this month.
