During the next 5 years. we reduce deficit spending by $100 billion. including Medicare reductions of $115 billion. and net Medicaid reductions by $13.6 billion. At the same time. we increase spending for childrens health care in this bill by $16 billion. SSI support for elderly and disabled immigrants by $10.4 billion and welfare to work by $3 billion. We extend the solvency of the part A trust fund for Medicare for at least 10 years. while introducing structural reform to give beneficiaries more choice among competing health plans. Our goal is to give the Medicare beneficiary the same choices that Federal employees have within our Federal health program. including the traditional feeforservice. and this is an excellent beginning.
