"This letter focuses on proposals to give the President broad authority to make
changes in the Medicare program, subject to Congressional disapproval. Such
proposals could enhance the prospects for additional long-term cost control, but
they would also entail shifting some power from the Congress to the executive
branch."

I particularly like:

"reducing Medicare payments in
areas of the country with higher spending"...don't live in a retirement community.
