Monday August 22.1994health Bill gets preliminary boost x by the Washington Post Washington the health Bill backed by the House democratic leadership would not add to the Federal budget deficit Over the next decade after some key technical changes Are made according to a tentative analysis by House staff of the congressional budget office.
