Don’t look for President Barack Obama to endorse a Medicare voucher plan or turning Medicaid over to the states when he unveils his approach to controlling the government’s health care costs on Wednesday. But less government money for providers and more costs shifted to beneficiaries will still be in the plan. The president is expected to draw from proposals issued by his debt commission and from the work of a small group of senators of both parties trying to devise a strategy that will force Congress to deal with the cost of health benefits.
