This week, the House of Representatives may vote on the Children’s Health and Medicare Protection, or CHAMP, Act.
The CHAMP Act will address the “asset test” by raising the test limits and thus giving more low–income Medicare beneficiaries extra help with prescription drug costs.
Currently, if anyone has prepared for retirement and has a meager $12,000 in savings accounts or IRA's; they fail the means test.
The bill will also help provide health care to uninsured children, help ensure that seniors maintain access to their doctors, and help hold down increases in Medicare premiums.
