Ways & Means Draft Medicare Bill Adds Home Health Copay, Hikes Part D&B Cost Sharing-insidehealthpolicy: House Ways and Means Republicans released draft legislation Friday (July 19) increasing the income-related premiums for Medicare Parts B and D, increasing the annual Medicare Part B deductible, and creating a copay for home health, though Chairman Dave Camp's (R-MI) staff told other congressional offices in an email obtained by Inside Health Policy that “these policies are from the 2014 President's budget and are not the position of the Ways and Means Committee.”
