Obamacare Funding A Tough Sell With Congress by Brett Norman. Politico. April 10, 2013.
Health Budget Spends On Mental Health; Cuts Medicare by Toni Clarke. Reuters. April 10, 2013.
These two articles provide a good summary of the President's proposals. Among the significant items, beyond the headline issues of Medicare and Obamacare funding are monies for a violent death surveillance system and research on gun violence as well as increases for food safety. The Politico piece speculates about the reaction of the pharmaceutical industry to the budget: It is not going to like it. Among the unliked items is a mandated drug rebates for low income seniors.
