Makes it the sense of the Congress that no amendments should be made to titles XVIII (Medicare) and XIX (Medicaid) of the Social Security Act which would: (1) increase the amount of the deductible, which is applicable (under part A of such title XVIII) with respect to the first day of inpatient hospital services received by a patient, to an amount equal to the average per diem cost of inpatient hospital services; (2) impose a coinsurance amount, with respect to inpatient hospital services (under part A of such title XVIII) received after the first day a patient receives such services, equal to 10 percent of the actual costs imposed for such services; (3) reduces coverage for physicians' services (under part B of such title XVIII) by increasing the deductible applicable thereto from $60 to $85, and by increasing the patient's share of such costs, above the deductible, from 20 percent to 25 percent; or (4) eliminates (under such title XIX) Federal financial participation with respect to costs, incurred under a State plan approved under such title, attributable to the provision of certain low-priority services (including dental care) to adults.
