House Republican aides said the budget blueprint at by the Chairman of the Committee on Budgets, representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin, issued by projected federal spending over the next ten years more than 5 trillion dollar disk would. Health care makes for the savings.
But when you save large sums for the Federal Government, the proposals on Medicare and Medicaid could shift some cost to the beneficiaries and the States.
According to the proposal a block grant would be cast, given Medicaid people with a lump sum of federal funds to the States to care for low income. States would be given more discretion over use of money than they have under the current federal-State partnership.
-People for future Medicare beneficiaries now under 55 - Mr. Ryan's proposal calls for the Federal Government on a certain amount to contribute money to the private health insurance premium. Under the traditional Medicare program, the Government reimbursed directly to doctors and hospitals.
Although many Republicans must see House renew social security, are also not expected press this week for comprehensive or specific changes to this programme.
Democrats signaled that she would fight the proposals health, and the conflict 2012 could also be a key issue for both parties in the elections.
Republicans say proposals to help the health care predict the Federal Government and to insure the cost control under Medicaid and Medicare, more than 100 million people and account for more than one-fifth of the federal budget.
But if, as many economists predict, health costs rise at a rapid clip, beneficiaries of these programmes is at risk for more costs.
Mr Ryan said his Medicare proposal he was similar in November with Alice M. Rivlin, budget Director in the Clinton Administration advanced. Analysis of this plan, said the Congressional Budget Office, "federal payments would grow rather slow according to the proposal as a calculated cost per capture under current law." As a result, the budget Office said "Enrollees expenditure for healthcare - and the uncertainty surrounding these issues - would increase."
Medicare and Medicaid are now open claims. Who meets the eligibility criteria defined entitlement to benefits in detail by federal law. The Federal Government and the States have to pay the additional costs if more people for Medicaid, such as the recent recession.
Also, Medicare will pay the costs if doctors numerous, more complex and expensive tests and procedures. Some of these additional costs are passed in the form of higher premiums to beneficiaries.
Republicans say they are taking the initiative on Medicare and Medicaid because President Obama has done nothing to make the programs on a solid financial foundation. In his budget in 2012 Mr Obama has not proposed savings in Medicaid or Medicare, although he and many tax experts say that the programs in their current form are not sustainable.
Mr Ryan and fellow Republican House are tricky waters, Wade where run many other politicians on a background.
But with the nation budget problems looming larger Republicans say, moved the politics of the issue. You expect credit for the attempt which hold down deficit and that of the audience receive.
Mr Ryan said "We have a moral obligation for the country to do so," in an interview last week.
Representative Jan Schakowsky, a Democrat and a former Managing Director of the Illinois State Council of senior citizens, said that she was enraged by such claims. "Mr. Ryan and the Republicans are Declaration of war on claims - and war against the elderly and the poor," said Ms Schakowsky. "Beneficiary end, to pay more."
About half of Medicaid recipients are children. Almost two-thirds of the funds for Medicaid benefits for low-income people, the 65 and older or disabled people.
1995-96 Were about what he "devastating cuts" Medicare and Medicaid described as, partly out of a conflict between President Bill Clinton and Congressional Republicans, the Government is shut down.
In his veto message of Mr Clinton in December 1995 82 "objectionable provisions" of the Republican budget bill. He complained that it "converted Medicaid to a block grant with dramatically less spending."
The Congressional Budget Office recently estimated that a Medicaid could save block grant, of the type of Mr Ryan and Ms. Rivlin, proposed $180 billion over 10 years. House Republicans could save an additional $434 billion, take place in the year 2014 in accordance with the health care by eliminating the expansion in Medicaid eligibility.
Mr Ryan said he was not cut Medicare and Medicaid, but rather slow its growth rate.
In addition, he stressed that he does not attempt to Medicare convert into a voucher program, because the money to the insurance companies and health insurance companies, not directly to the beneficiary paid. Healthcare costs for a group of patients, payment exceeded the Federal Republic in a given year, the insurer should be to the costs.
Finally, Mr Ryan says that his proposal is fair, because Medicare would numbers less for higher income beneficiaries, and they would pay more of the costs for their health insurance.
But high income Medicare beneficiaries already numbers higher bonuses, with an annual supplement of more than $3,800 are bonuses for some of the most prosperous in this year.
What Mr Ryan and his Committee plan, is to do this week a budget resolution to approve setting goals for revenue and expenditure. If the House and the Senate in the same form for example, such a resolution would bind Congress in its deliberations, but it would be submitted not to the President and would not rightly.
There is almost no chance, the democratically controlled Senate a resolution along the lines, that Mr Ryan proposes, would accept, although his counterpart in the Senate, Kent Conrad, Democrat of North Dakota, the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, claim reduce spending as part of a broader package on the budget deficit a bipartisan plan to address works.
The budget resolution will typically changes in federal programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. But bind these assumptions the House committees with does not have these programs that store the same amount in some other way could choose.
