House Passes Medicare Bill in Rare Bipartisan Move 
---------------------------------------------------


 
In a rare bipartisan move, House lawmakers have overwhelmingly passed a
bill to overhaul Medicare's payment system. The measure would increase
payments to doctors, passing higher costs on to some recipients in the
form of higher premiums. It also keeps in place a health insurance
program for children. Senate leaders will wait more than two weeks to
take up the bill.
