       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund established 
     under section 1817 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
     1395i) is projected to be insolvent by 2017; and
       (2) the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social 
     Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) is currently the 
     largest source of general revenue spending on health care for 
     both the Federal government and the States.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) any savings under the Medicare program under title 
     XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.) 
     should be invested back into the Medicare program, rather 
     than creating new entitlement programs; and
       (2) the Federal Government should not expand the Medicaid 
     program under title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 
     1396 et seq.) in a manner that imposes an unfunded mandate on 
     States when State budgets are already heavily burdened by 
     federally imposed requirements that force those budgets into 
     the red.
