(1) For means-tested direct spending, the aver-
age rate of growth in the total level of outlays dur-
ing the 10-year period preceding fiscal year 2015 is 
6.8 percent. 
(2) For means-tested direct spending, the esti-
mated average rate of growth in the total level of 
outlays during the 10-year period beginning with fis-
cal year 2015 is 5.4 percent under current law. 
(3) The following reforms are proposed in this 
concurrent resolution for means-tested direct spend-
ing: 
(A) In 1996, a Republican Congress and a 
Democratic president reformed welfare by lim-
iting the duration of benefits, giving States 
more control over the program, and helping re-
cipients find work. In the five years following 
passage, child-poverty rates fell, welfare case-
loads fell, and workers’ wages increased. This 
budget applies the lessons of welfare reform to 
both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
Program and Medicaid. 
(B) For Medicaid, this budget assumes the 
conversion of the Federal share of Medicaid 
spending into a flexible State allotment tailored 
to meet each State’s needs, indexed for inflation

SEC. 509. SEPARATE ALLOCATION FOR OVERSEAS CONTIN-

(a) ALLOCATION.—In the House, there shall be a sep-
arate allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for 
overseas contingency operations/global war on terrorism. 
For purposes of enforcing such separate allocation under 
section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, 
the ‘‘first fiscal year’’ and the ‘‘total of fiscal years’’ shall 
be deemed to refer to fiscal year 2015. Such separate allo-
cation shall be the exclusive allocation for overseas contin-
gency operations/global war on terrorism under section 
302(a) of such Act. Section 302(c) of such Act shall not 
apply to such separate allocation. The Committee on Ap-
propriations may provide suballocations of such separate 
allocation under section 302(b) of such Act. Spending that 
counts toward the allocation established by this section 
shall be designated pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii)

(D) additional cuts from the IPAB board 
will force even more health care providers to 
close their doors, and the Board should be re-
pealed. 
(4) Failing to address this problem will leave 
millions of American seniors without adequate health 
security and younger generations burdened with 
enormous debt to pay for spending levels that cannot 
be sustained. 
(b) POLICY ON MEDICARE REFORM.—It is the policy 
of this resolution to protect those in or near retirement 
from any disruptions to their Medicare benefits and offer 
future beneficiaries the same health care options available 
to Members of Congress. 
(c) ASSUMPTIONS.—This resolution assumes reform 
of the Medicare program such that: 
(1) Current Medicare benefits are preserved for 
those in or near retirement. 
(2) For future generations, when they reach eli-
gibility, Medicare is reformed to provide a premium 
support payment and a selection of guaranteed 
health coverage options from which recipients can 
choose a plan that best suits their needs. 
(3) Medicare will maintain traditional fee-for- 
service as an option.
