BRIEFS
Childhood vaccines provided free in plan The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The federal and state governments would buy childhood vaccines and distribute them free under a plan being considered by the Clinton administration to ensure virtually all U.S. children are vaccinated, a government official confirmed yesterday.
The New York Times reported yesterday that drug companies did not like the idea, saying it would make vaccine manufacturing unprofitable and night force them to cut spending for research.
Leading pediatricians and children-advocacy groups support the advocacy, the newspaper said.
Choice for CIA head likely to be approved The Associated Press
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Bill Clinton's nominee to head the CIA, R. James Woolsey, will face demands for cheaper and more accurate intelligence when he goes before senators at a confirmation hearing today.
Woolsey, 51, an undersecretary of the Navy in the Carter administration and an arms-control negotiator for Reagan and Bush, is expected to win easy approval by the Senate to serve as director of central intelligence, a job that includes the CIA and 10 other intelligence agencies.

President gives states room to regulate Medicaid programs
WASHINGTON — President Bill Clinton gave the nation's governors a free hand yesterday to run their financially strapped Medicaid programs. The governors in turn promised to help him sell a tough plan to shrink the bone budget deficit.
Clinton said that easing Medicaid rules was one big step on a long road to giving this nation the kind of health-care system it needed.
After years of strain between the White House and statehouses, the governors were excited following a four-hour meeting with Clinton focusing on soaring health-care costs that are helping drive the budget deficit to a project- $327 billion this year.
"He is someone who is fully knowledgeable and very sympathetic to what it is that is we are facing," Republican Gov. Pete Wilson of California said of Clinton.
New York Gov. Mario Cuomo said he expected Cannon to come up with a deficit-reduction plan that would receive a substantial amount of support from Republican and Democratic governors.
The administration has raised the possibility of an energy tax, limits on Social Security cost-of-living increases, higher corporate taxes and increased taxes on the wealthy.
"No decisions have been made, and I don't know that it's very productive to go into what's on and what's off the table at any time," said George Stephanopoulos. White House communications director. Clinton is to announce his program Feb. 17 in an address to a joint session of Congress.
Cuomo said, "What you need to do is convince the public that you are willing to make the tough decisions and that they will work. I can't think of anyone in a better position to do that than the governors."
Wilson said, "I think that there is much more sympathy on the part of the governors for what it is that the president will be undertaking. There hasn't been a great deal of concern in the Congress about the deficit."
The meeting gave Clinton an opportunity to jump
beyond last week's controversy about homosexuals in the military and begin focusing on the domestic agenda he wants to stress.
Asserting there is an urgent need to tame health-care costs, Clinton said the nation's health bill had more than tripled in the past 12 years.
"Now we spend far more than any other nation on Earth — about 30 percent more of our income — and we get less for it," he said.
Medicaid, the fourth largest item in the federal budget, provides health care for welfare recipients and low-income elderly, blind or disabled people. Federal and state outlays approach $140 billion.
"For years and years, governors have been screaming for relief from the cumbersome process by which the federal government has micromanaged the health care system affecting poor Americans," Clinton said. "We are going to try to give them that relief so that for lower costs we can do more good for more people."
Specifically, he ordered the Health and Human Services department to streamline the process by which states seek Medicaid waivers. The waivers offer states flexibility from federal regulations in the way they spend the federal portion of Medicaid money.
Arkansas, for example, obtained a waiver to allow elderly patients to use Medicaid money for in-home programs rather than nursing homes.
States have complained that it takes years to obtain a waiver to try out cost-cutting or innovative Medicaid programs. Aside from easing restrictions, Clinton also said that a waiver granted to one state could be automatically adopted by others.
Clinton also said the government would reopen negotiations with the governors about taxes that some states impose on health-care providers, such as doctors and hospitals.
Many states, such as Arkansas, use this revenue to get federal Medicaid matching money and then funnel the revenues back to the providers through increased fees while expanding their Medicaid programs.
Congress passed a law in 1901 restricting use of such taxes to increase a state's share of federal Medicaid dollars, and 24 states are objecting to rules the Bush administration recently published to carry out the law.
