SPOTLIGHT ON... Medicare.gov In an effort to provide information about expanded benefits and new coverage options, the White House recently launched a new Medicare Web site.

Online publications, including The Medicare Handbook, cover nursing homes, managed care and other topics. – Susan Heavey, June 26, 1998 Go to Federal Page | Go to Government | Go to Politics Section
