The
Effect of H.R. 3200 on Medicare Part D Premiums
from Director's Blog by Douglas Elmendorf
Today CBO released a letter on the changes in Medicare Part D
premiums that would result from certain provisions of H.R. 3200,
America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, as introduced
on July 14. According to CBO’s estimates, enacting those
changes would lead to an average increase in premiums for Part
D beneficiaries of about 5 percent in 2011, rising to about 20
percent in 2019. However, beneficiaries’ spending on prescription
drugs apart from those premiums would fall, on average, as would
their overall prescription drug spending (including both premiums
and cost sharing). The net effect on drug spending would differ
among beneficiaries depending on the amount of their purchases
in a year. As with CBO’s other estimates related to this
bill, this analysis is preliminary and does not reflect any modifications
or amendments made after July 14.

Japan
manufacturing index rises sharply: reports
from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse
LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- A gague of
Japan's manufacturing activity posted a strong rise for August,
reports said Monday. The Nomura/JMMA Manufacturing Purchasing
Managers Index hit a seasonally adjusted 53.6 in August, up from
the previous month's 50.4, marking the highest level since November
2006, according to Reuters. Reports cited the output index as
rising to 58.7, up from 54.7. Figures above 50 represent a net
expansion. However, the Reuters report added that the key export
index, though gaining to 53.2 in August from 52.7 in July, had
slowed its pace of growth. "Exports may be losing momentum,"
Reuters quoted Nomura Securities economist Minoru Nogimori as
saying. "We will have to focus on new export orders increasingly
as one of the most important indicators regarding the outlook
for Japan's economy."
