Sebelius Criticizes GOP Medicare Plan.

Another AP (4/20) article reports, "A top US health official said she cannot rule out future cost increases to Medicare beneficiaries, but predicted a Republican budget-cutting proposal would force beneficiaries to pay much more for health insurance." HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius "critiqued the GOP proposal Tuesday before the Atlanta Press Club, saying costs would rise if the Medicare program for the elderly and disabled became a voucher program." She says the Obama Administration "favors several approaches to curbing Medicare costs, including reducing medical mistakes."
