The Hill: Baucus wants SCHIP, health IT in stimulus
Congress should include a short-term reauthorization of the State
Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in the stimulus package,
Baucus said, in addition to $50 billion that President-elect Obama is
seeking for health information technology funding.

AP: State government out ahead of feds on stimulus
Some states aren't waiting for that economic stimulus package to come

the unemployed and both mortgage lenders and homeowners.

CQ: Baucus Wants Next Congress to Tackle Health Care Overhaul From the
Start
By Drew Armstrong, CQ Staff
In the race to stake out territory on a health care overhaul next year,
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus is making it a habit to try and be
first.
The Montana Democrat said Wednesday that when the 111th Congress opens,
he'll be ready with a health care bill. "I'm guessing the first of the
year, near the first of the year, we'll have a bill," Baucus said.
Also on the agenda is a short-term reauthorization of the State
Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and tens of billions in
funding for health information technology.
At a news conference, Baucus said the Finance Committee is working with
the Congressional Budget Office to finalize policy sections and score
savings and costs. "We're quite close," Baucus said.
"We're in the process now of what do you need to score this provision,
what do you need to score that provision?" he said.
Saving Health IT for Stimulus Package
One thing they won't be scoring as part of that effort will be a large
package of funds to help doctors and hospitals buy health information
technology, such as electronic medical records.
Baucus said he will put the money - likely grants and loans - in an
economic stimulus package that Congress will likely take up first thing
in January.
"If I can put some of those upfront costs into the stimulus bill, I want
to put them there," Baucus said.
"If you want to do this as part of an economic stimulus package, that
would help it along," agreed Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the
committee's ranking Republican.
Baucus would not say how big the health information technology package
will be, but he did say that it would likely be less than $50 billion.
Baucus also planned to do a short-term reauthorization of SCHIP. The
current authorization expires at the end of March, and Baucus and other
Democrats have talked about making a long-term expansion part of a
health care overhaul.
The short-term reauthorization would be "of sufficient duration to fold
into health reform," Baucus said.
Grassley was in line with such a plan. "I think I would back him on
that," Grassley said. Including SCHIP in a health overhaul would likely
help boost support for the overhaul from grass-roots organizations that
helped push for an SCHIP expansion in the 110th Congress.
House Democrats May Wait on Obama
Such a short-term reauthorization would signal that Baucus is ready for
a lengthy legislative struggle on a broader health overhaul bill.
And while Senate Democrats are ready to burst out of the gates with
their overhaul plans, getting them into law will be a more
time-consuming matter.
The House is already doing its best to restrain the Senate's eagerness.
Key House Democrats, such as Henry A. Waxman and Pete Stark, both of
California, have said they want to wait and take their cues from
President-elect Barack Obama.
Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said Congress should pass a large expansion
of SCHIP quickly, then tackle health care reform later in the year.
"I think if Max [Baucus] thinks we're going to have universal coverage
within the first couple months of [the next] Congress, he's being quite
optimistic," said DeGette, a chief deputy whip for Democrats who played
an important role in the 110th Congress' struggle to expand SCHIP.
In November, Baucus released an 89-page white paper outlining his plans.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., is expected to be the Senate's other
leader on the bill.
The two have alternately been praising the other's involvement and
jockeying for primacy. While Baucus' committee has jurisdiction over key
programs such as Medicare and Medicaid, Kennedy is a longer-established
voice on an overhaul and has a reputation as a dealmaker.

Congress Daily: Aerospace Industry Looks For Support In Stimulus Package
Thursday, Dec. 11, 2008
by Otto Kreisher
The Aerospace Industry Association intends to maintain its contact with
President-elect Obama's incoming administration in an effort to have
some projects important to the industry included in the infrastructure
improvements planned for the next economic stimulus package, AIA
president Marion Blakey said Wednesday.
The industry would like to see airport improvements and accelerated
deployment of the next generation air traffic control system, among
other aerospace work, Blakey said.
Citing the important role the vibrant U.S. aerospace industry can play
in helping to restore the struggling economy, Blakey said, "aerospace
and defense must not become bill payers for other programs."
While noting that defense and aerospace research and development funding
is down in the current budget and the emergency supplementals for Iraq
and Afghanistan are likely to decline, she said the association would
urge continued investments in defense procurement of $120 billion to
$150 billion a year.
Addressing the association's annual year-end review and forecast
luncheon, Blakey said AIA established contact with Obama's campaign
early in the spring and developed "a very good relationship." It now
will be re-engaging the new administration in an effort to shape the
stimulus package and other policies, she said.
Blakey said the industry was pleased that Obama mentioned increased
research and development as part of the next stimulus in his radio
address last weekend and proposed making the R&D tax credit permanent.
But AIA members were disappointed that there was no mention of airport
improvements and expansions, the "Next Gen" air traffic control system
or the satellite-based air navigation system.
"We need to accelerate the FAA agenda," said Blakey, who was FAA
administrator before taking over as AIA president two years ago.
All of those programs have been cited as ways to reduce air traffic
congestion, which could improve fuel efficiency, reduce airline expenses
and save air passengers time.
AIA's year-end report showed another record level sales total and it
predicted growth in 2009. But that positive forecast was based on
confidence that the declining global economy would not result in
substantial cancellations of the $404 billion in orders for commercial
aircraft and that U.S. defense and space funding would remain close to
current levels.
Blakey said that with the FY09 Defense and NASA funding covered in the
continuing resolution and the FY10 numbers probably well established by
the Bush administration, those programs should be good for the next 18
months.
Although AIA would have liked to see more NASA funding, "a stable budget
is welcomed," she said. "We're at a critical time in space exploration,"
and Obama will face some critical decisions, Blakey said.
NASA is projecting at least a five-year gap in U.S. manned space access
between the planned 2010 retirement of the space shuttles and the
earliest likely availability of the Constellation replacement system.
Obama had indicated during the campaign he would like to see that gap
reduced but has not mentioned it in his post-election statements.
In addition to its advocacy for aerospace programs, Blakey said AIA also
would be offering some recommendations on how to improve the defense
acquisition process, which is a key goal of Defense Secretary Gates,
whom Obama will keep in place in the upcoming administration.
"We think there are efficiencies that can be achieved," and ways to make
the budget more stable and predictable -- long-standing goals for the
defense industry, she said.
