When you establish a process the intent of those using it is irrelevant. If you fail to consider that, you ought not be in the procedure writing business. <snip>
Well, actually no. All potential consequences cannot possibly be anticipated when a law/statute or regulation is passed and if a problem arises, it is expected that there will be subsequent legislative action to fix it.
If memory serves me correct (a big if), MMOB's job was writing statutes and/or regulations.

True, we got here because of it being called a loophole by some.
Leaders are expected to soon present details of the deal — it is expected to include equal increases in both domestic and military spending and would prevent a premium increase for Medicare Part B recipients from going into effect — to members over the coming days, setting up a very tight time frame to build support for the plan before Congress will be required to vote on debt limit increase. The Treasury Department says the debt limit will be hit by Nov. 3.
Looks like it reduces, but does not eliminate the increase:
Under the agreement, Medicare’s Part B premiums for this group of roughly 15 million people will increase from the current rate of $104.90 per month to $120 per month next year, plus a $3 surcharge. After holding level since 2013, the monthly premiums for these people would have soared to nearly $160 without the legislative adjustment.

Yeah, I read that earlier. Probably some other clarifications and surprises to occur. You would know best but aren't there regs that would need to be written.
I read a little bit about it, but none of it was attributed. It involved longer waiting periods to receive benefits, more stringent requirements to qualify and an increased effort on getting SSDI recipients to return to work. The article I read said medicare cuts would involve 'changes in payments to providers' which would really suck, if they keep that up people on medicare will be in as bad a position as medicaid patients when it comes to finding doctors.
I see these changes not accomplishing much aside from making more disabled people homeless.

To clarify, I did some of that while working in the judiciary, not in the legislative branch. It was mostly Title 28 and some Title 5. It would then go to Congressional Staff who would insert it into the appropriate legislation to then be voted on.

It's in the proposed Statutes; er, I mean "Discussion Draft"

Maybe I missed something can you direct me to the change that would render people homeless?
