Bush Health Cuts Would Impact State's Hospitals

One of the key proposals in President Bush's budget for the next fiscal year calls for cuts in healthcare spending.

President Bush said yesterday that he hopes to save some $36 billion by trimming Medicare, the government's insurance program for elderly people. He is also recommending reductions to Medicaid, the state-federal collaboration that provides healthcare for the poor.

To look at the possible impact of such cuts in the Bay State, Bob Oakes speaks with Ronald Hollander, president of the Massachusetts Hospital Association.
