The panel focused on possible improvements to Medicaid, the social health program that filled in the gaps between voluntary employer based health insurance programs. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/18453-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/18453-1 Sat, 15 Jun 1991 04:59:00 GMT The subcommittee heard testimony on Social Security earnings limitations. Currently, seniors earning an income of a particular amount must forfeit part or all of their Social Security earnings. Witnesses testified on whether the earnings test should be less severe, allowing seniors to earn a greater income before forfeiting part of their income from Social Security, or whether the earnings test should be eliminated from the Social Security program altogether. Currently, seniors aged 65-69 may earn up to $9,700 annually without having benefits withheld. Rep. Bunning claimed almost two-thirds of the House of Representatives have signed on as co-sponsors to legislation lessening or repealing the earnings test from the Social Security program. He also claimed 700,000 additional senior citizens would enter the work force were the earnings test eliminated. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/18133-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/18133-1 Mon, 27 May 1991 00:53:00 GMT The committee heard testimony on the 1965 Older Americans Act, which is scheduled to be considered for reauthorization this year. The Older Americans Act covered a range of social programs for senior Americans, including health programs, transportation, nutrition programs, and legal assistance. Witnesses stressed the importance of the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act, which helps to maintain the independence of senior citizens. Dr. Flemming suggested that the U.S. commissioner on aging should be promoted to assistant secretary status, overseeing the administration of programs for older Americans. He also advocated legislation that would provide penalties for states which fail to enact programs stated in the Older Americans Act. Other witnesses questioned the effectiveness of the legislation to care for aged persons in need, and questioned the assembling of several different social programs into one act, when concerns may be addressed in a more efficient fashion in other social programs. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17497-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) House Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/17497-1 Wed, 10 Apr 1991 13:30:00 GMT The panelists discussed the legacy of Eisenhower on civil rights. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/15188-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/15188-1 Sat, 03 Nov 1990 18:09:17 GMT http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/11642-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/11642-1 Sat, 31 Mar 1990 18:19:00 GMT Proposals were reviewed to revise duplicate coverage provisions of the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act of 1988.

However, this has not slowed the bill. In this hearing John Glenn (D-OH) agrees not to jeopardize the bill by attaching a controversial judicial review amendment that he and other senators favor. Veterans' organizations argue that Glenn's proposal would create an overwhelming amount of litigation and destroy a close working arrangement veterans now have with the VA. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/1915-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Senate Committee http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/1915-1 Mon, 04 Apr 1988 07:31:00 GMT
