5/14/2002--Introduced.

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the Senate should consider legislation to comprehensively modernize the Medicare Program under which beneficiaries will be offered more choices including outpatient prescription drug coverage; and (2) this legislation should ensure that the Medicare Program's financial solvency is preserved and protected, and permit beneficiaries to choose from a variety of coverage options (including multiple competing, private insurance plans).
