"A hollow victory ? a huge disappointment to what we were fighting for."
That's how activist David Jayne describes new language passed by the U.S. House of Representatives amending the Medicare homebound restriction. The new language clarifies the rights of people who receive Medicare home health services, but some believe it might have the effect of further limiting their activities.
The new language is part of the Medicare reform package passed by the House on June 28. The U.S. Senate is scheduled to begin debate on its version of a Medicare reform bill on July 15.
