Canadian beef to be marketed in a manner identical to

(2) shipping live cattle in sealed trucks for imme-

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the Health Care Financing Administration should adhere
to the statutory deadlines for implementation of the pro-
spective payment system for home health services fur-
nished under the Medicare Program.
Whereas the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 enacted specific
programs to modernize Medicare into a sound fiscal sys-

quality care while protecting taxpayers from the negative
impacts of waste, fraud, and error;
•HRES 585 IH
Whereas the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA)
has stated that it will not be able to meet the statutory
deadlines for the implementation of many of the pro-
grams mandated by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
because of the Year 2000 (Y2K) problems;
Whereas in fiscal years 1996 and 1997, HCFA did not make
specific requests for funding for Y2K problems;
Whereas HCFA waited until fiscal year 1998 to request
funding to fix its Y2K problems;
Whereas in response to HCFA’s request for funding to fix
the perceived Y2K problem, Congress appropriated to the
Department 
of 
Health 
and 
Human 
Services
$107,100,000 to fix these problems in fiscal year 1998;
Whereas in fiscal year 1999, HCFA has requested an addi-
tional $241,600,000 to fix the Y2K problems; and
Whereas the goal of all changes to the method of reimburse-
ment for home health services furnished under the Medi-
care Program is to preserve, protect, and strengthen the
program and guarantee access to quality home health
care for millions of Medicare beneficiaries: Now, there-
fore, be it
