Medicare Set Aside News - New CBO Report

New CBO Report Finds H.R. 1063 Will Reduce Medicare spending by $45 million from 2013 to 2022 by modifying the process Medicare is reimbursed by Liability or Workers Compensation Insurers

Last month, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released some interesting data statistics and cost estimates to show that HR 1063 will reduce Medicare spending by $45 million from 2013 to 2022.
