THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1995 USA TODAY SILVER SPRING-About 100 American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today protesters, many in wheelchairs, blocked Route 29 for several hours. They want 25% of Medicare dollars to go to home care. MAY 18, 1995 METROPOLITAN TIMES SILVER SPRING [Headline] Wheelchair protest blocks Route 29 Thirty wheelchair-bound protesters were arrested for blocking traffic on a major Montgomery County thorough-fare in a four-hour demonstration. Members of a grass-roots organization of disabled people said they want to force Manor Care, one of the nation's largest nursing home operators, out of business. The group blocked traffic in both directions on Route 29 and Lockwood Drive between White Oak and Four Corners. On Tuesday, members of the group, Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, demonstrated outside the home of House Speaker Newt Gingrich because they say he reneged on a promise to introduce legislation that would help dis-abled Americans live more in-dependently. THE WASHINGTON POST MAY 18,1995 [Headline] Disabled Protesters Are Arrested After Blockading Building Nearly 100 protesters in wheelchairs were arrested yesterday after blockading the Silver Spring headquarters of Man-or Care Inc., the nation's fourth-largest owner and open-tor of nursing homes, police said. As many as 250 protesters gathered about 11 a.m. outside the Manor Care offices on Coles-vile Road and demanded a meet-ing with company Chairman Stewart Bainum Jr. Leaders of the group asked Bainum to sign a letter urging Congress to divert 25 percent of current Medicaid funding of nursing home care to home health care, a Manor Care spokeswoman said. When the company officials refused to sign the letter, the protesters—members of the group Americans Disabled for Attendant Programs Today—blocked off all entrances to the building for about four hours, refusing to allow anyone to enter or leave. Diane Cook, a Manor Care spokeswoman, said the company agrees with "many of their points." But she characterized the protest as a "publicity issue" that did not interrupt the company's operation. After blocking off parts of New Hampshire Avenue and Colesville Road for several hours to protect the demonstrators, Montgomery County police be-gan making arrests shortly before 4 p.m.

American Hospital Association Vol. 31 No. 21 May 22, 1995 [Heading] AHA blasts proposed federal budget cuts [Subheading] Association leaders favor less drastic measure by Farah Kostreski The GOP-controlled House last week passed a budget resolution that health care groups and many seniors believe moves too far too fast to curb Medicare and Medicaid spending. The Senate this week continues debating a similar plan, which if passed, will set Congress on a course tar making the largest reductions in the federal health pro-grams' history. After spurning alternatives offered by the Congressional Black Caucus. and conservative Democrats and Republicans who wanted deeper spending cuts. the House voted. 238-193. to approve a plan by House Budget Committee Chairman John R. Kasich (R-OH). Kasich's S1.4 trillion deficit-reduction proposal would slow Medicare spending by 5283 billion. and Medicaid spending by S184 billion. over the next seven years. House Speaker Newt Gingrich ( R-GA ) called Republican unity behind the plan "pretty amazing." But House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt ( D-M0) maintained that Americans "are not balancing [the budget] on the backs of senior citizens and middle-income people." President Clinton issued a May 18 statement noting that the House budget "fail to meet the test" of reducing the deficit and reflecting Americans' values. Earlier in the week, the president buoyed by a May 16 Washington Post/ABC News poll that found that most Americans oppose the GOP budget plans. urged congressional Democrats to reject Republican plans to reduce Medicare and Medicaid spending absent comprehensive health-system reform. "We're extremely disappointed in what the House did."' said Tom Nickels. AHA vice president and deputy director of federal relations. The numbers are clearly too high to sustain." In a May 17 letter. officials from the AHA and the Federation of American Health Systems offered support for the alternative crafted by Rep. Charles W. Stenholm ( D-TX ) and two dozen conservative Democrats. That plan would have trimmed Medicare spending by S174 billion by 2002—S109 billion less than Kasich's Medicare proposed cuts. The same day, the AHA and the federation joined a coalition of 20 other hospital and health care provider groups in a letter to House members. "We know that savings in the system can be achieved, and we are willing to accept sonic: reductions through restructuring," the groups stated. "The proposals put forward by the House Budget Committee, however, go too far, too fast." The AHA and the federation ran a series of newspaper ads asking lawmakers to work with them to "reform, restructure and save money in Medicare—not gut it." Six teaching-hospital officials converged on Capitol Hill May 16 to plead for parity. The group, convened by the Washington-based Association of American Medical Colleges, said GOP plans to cut Medicare's hospital payment updates and graduate medical education add-ons amount to a double-whammy for them. "We're willing to take our fair share, but not some sort of a KO punch." William Rice, chancellor and vice president for health affairs at the University of Tennessee in Memphis, told reporters. Teaching hospitals may have allies in Senate Finance Committee members Alf once M. D'Amato R-NY) and Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY ). who represent the state with nearly 15 percent of the nation's teaching institutions. The Senate debate continues this week, with members expected to cast final votes on May 25. The Senate Budget Committee's plan would curb Medicare spending by $256 billion and Medicaid spending by $175 billion by 2002.
