 INTRODUCTION OF CORRECTED VERSION OF DEMOCRATIC MEDICARE AND MEDICAID 
                            GIVE-BACKS BILL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 1, 2000

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of Representative Dingell and 
myself, we are re-introducing today the Democratic version of the 
Medicare and Medicaid give-backs bill, that includes the provisions in 
the House-passed bill of Thursday, October 26th plus the beneficiary 
and provider improvements requested by the President and detailed in 
the Administration's veto letter of October 17th.
  Yesterday, a version of this bill was introduced (H.R. 5601), but 
because of mechanical problems in the electronic transmission of the 
bill, a number of errors occurred.
  When considering the Democratic position on how to improve the 
Medicare, Medicaid, and S-CHIP programs, please refer to the bill 
introduced today H.R. 5612, not to H.R. 5601.
