Proposed legislation would blunt area wage index changes.

Legislation introduced in Congress will blunt the dramatic changes in Medicare payments to hospitals resulting from the area wage index update. The legislation calls for the new index values to be phased in over the next two years instead of taking full effect on Oct. 1. However, the legislation will not alter the fact that hospitals in some market areas will be big winners, while those in other areas will be big losers.

Expanded delivery system needed for post-traumatic stress.

For many Vietnam combat veterans, the war never ended. They fight it over and over again in their minds. Their condition is called post-traumatic stress disorder. The Department of Veterans Affairs has made significant strides in treating these vets, but the VA is able to meet only a small part of the veterans' demand for treatment. A need exists at the community level, particularly in rural areas, where many veterans do not have access to the specialized treatment they need without traveling great distances and navigating red tape.
