Medicare: Selected Prescription Drug Proposals in the 107th Congress

Medicare, the nationwide health insurance program for the aged and disabled, does not cover most outpatient prescription drugs.

However, there was no consensus on how the coverage should be structured. This report provides a side-by-side comparison of bills introduced in the 107th Congress that have received the most attention.
