GOP looks to privatize Medicare in 2016 budget unveiling
Republicans in the House and Senate unveiled their respective budgets for fiscal year 2016 this week, proposing major changes to health care programs as part of their strategy to balance the federal budget within the next decade. House Republicans presented "Balanced Budget for a Stronger America" on Tuesday, which would privatize Medicare, restructure Medicaid to be based on block-grant distribution to states and repeal the Affordable Care Act. On Wednesday, the GOP-controlled Senate announced a less specific version of the budget with a similar cost-cutting goal.
