These fees, as contained in President Clinton's FY99 Budget Request for the Health Care Financing Administration, are simply a back-door attempt at levying new taxes on Medicare providers. Though we are pleased to note that both the House and the Senate Appropriations' Committees did not include new user fees in their Labor\/ HHS bills, we are concerned that the Senate measure includes report language recommending funding levels that would include these fees.","Title":"Medicare FY Budget 1999.
