SECTION 1. EUNICE KENNEDY SHRIVER NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHILD HEALTH
AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Since it was established by Congress in 1962 at the request
    of President John F. Kennedy, the National Institute of Child
    Health and Human Development has achieved an outstanding record of
    achievement in catalyzing a concentrated attack on the unsolved
    health problems of children and of mother-infant relationships by
    fulfilling its mission to--
            (A) ensure that every individual is born healthy and
        wanted, that women suffer no harmful effects from reproductive
        processes, and that all children have the chance to achieve
        their full potential for healthy and productive lives, free
        from disease or disability; and
            (B) ensure the health, productivity, independence, and
        well-being of all individuals through optimal rehabilitation.
        (2) The National Institute of Child Health and Human
    Development has made unparalleled contributions to the advancement
    of child health and human development, including significant
    efforts to--
            (A) reduce dramatically the rates of Sudden Infant Death
        Syndrome, infant mortality, and maternal HIV transmission;
            (B) develop the Haemophilus Influenza B (Hib) vaccine,
        credited with nearly eliminating the incidence of mental
        retardation; and
            (C) conduct intramural research, support extramural
        research, and train thousands of child health and human
        development researchers who have contributed greatly to
        dramatic gains in child health throughout the world.
        (3) The vision, drive, and tenacity of one woman, Eunice
    Kennedy Shriver, was instrumental in proposing, passing, and
    enacting legislation to establish the National Institute of Child
    Health and Human Development (Public Law 87-838) on October 17,
    1962.
        (4) It is befitting and appropriate to recognize the
    substantial achievements of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, a tireless
    advocate for children with special needs, whose foresight in
    creating the National Institute of Child Health and Human
    Development gave life to the words of President Kennedy, who wished
    to ``encourage imaginative research into the complex processes of
    human development from conception to old age.''.

            (1) The appropriate amount, targeting, and distribution of
        Medicare DSH to compensate for higher Medicare costs, Medicaid
        reimbursement shortfalls, and uncompensated care associated
        with serving low-income beneficiaries (taking into account
        variations in the empirical justification for Medicare DSH
        attributable to hospital characteristics, including bed size),
        consistent with the original intent of Medicare DSH.
            (2) The appropriate amount, targeting, and distribution of
        Medicare DSH to hospitals given their continued uncompensated
        care costs, to the extent such costs remain.
    (b) Payment Adjustments in Response to Coverage Expansion.--
            (1) In general.--If there is a significant decrease in the
        national rate of uninsurance as a result of corrected PPACA (as
        determined under paragraph (2)(A)), then the Secretary of
        Health and Human Services shall, beginning no earlier than
        fiscal year 2018, implement the following adjustments to
        Medicare DSH:
                    (A) In lieu of the amount of Medicare DSH payment
                that would otherwise be made under section
                1886(d)(5)(F) of the Social Security Act, the amount of
                Medicare DSH payment shall be an amount based on the
                recommendations of the report under subsection (a)(1)
                and shall take into account variations in the empirical
                justification for Medicare DSH attributable to hospital
                characteristics, including bed size.
                    (B) Subject to paragraph (3), make an additional
                payment to a hospital by an amount that is estimated
                based on the amount of uncompensated care provided by
                the hospital based on criteria for uncompensated care
                as determined by the Secretary, which shall exclude bad
                debt.
            (2) Significant decrease in national rate of uninsurance as
        a result of this act.--For purposes of this subsection--
                    (A) In general.--There is a ``significant decrease
                in the national rate of uninsurance as a result of
                corrected PPACA'' if there is a decrease in the
                national rate of uninsurance (as defined in
                subparagraph (B)) from 2012 to 2014 that exceeds 8
                percentage points.
                    (B) National rate of uninsurance defined.--The term
                ``national rate of uninsurance'' means, for a year,
                such rate for the under-65 population for the year as
                determined and published by the Bureau of the Census in
                its Current Population Survey in or about September of
                the succeeding year.
            (3) Uncompensated care increase.--
                    (A) Computation of dsh savings.--For each fiscal
                year (beginning with fiscal year 2018), the Secretary
                shall estimate the aggregate reduction in the amount of
                Medicare DSH payment that would be expected to result
                from the adjustment under paragraph (1)(A).
                    (B) Structure of payment increase.--The Secretary
                shall compute the additional payment to a hospital as
                described in paragraph (1)(B) for a fiscal year in
                accordance with a formula established by the Secretary
                that provides that--
                            (i) the estimated aggregate amount of such
                        increase for the fiscal year does not exceed 50
                        percent of the aggregate reduction in Medicare
                        DSH estimated by the Secretary for such fiscal
                        year; and
                            (ii) hospitals with higher levels of
                        uncompensated care receive a greater increase.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Medicare Value and Quality
Demonstration Act of 2002''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States Government should reward physicians,
        hospitals, and other health care providers that provide high-
        quality, cost-effective health care to beneficiaries under the
        medicare program.
            (2) The Journal of the American Medical Association has
        published quality indicators in an article entitled ``Quality
        of Medical Care Delivered to Medicare Beneficiaries: A Profile
        at State and National Levels''.
            (3) The cost of health care is--
                    (A) reflected in the type and volume of physicians'
                services and in physician ordering and prescribing
                behavior; and
                    (B) reflected in the amount of the average payment
                to hospitals under the medicare program for each
                medicare beneficiary in each State.
            (4) Physician and hospital practice patterns contribute to
        the total cost and quality of care for each medicare
        beneficiary in each State.
            (5) The original medicare fee-for-service program under
        parts A and B of title XVIII of the Social Security Act does
        not include a mechanism to pay for interventions designed to
        improve quality of care. While the framework for payments to
        managed care organizations under the Medicare+Choice program
        under part C of such title allows for the reallocation of
        capitation revenues to cover such things as disease state
        management and quality improvement infrastructure, even the
        most optimistic projections for managed care enrollment leave
        the majority of medicare beneficiaries in the original medicare
        fee-for-service program.

Input:
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Nuclear Terrorism Deterrence and
Detection Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Combating the threat of a terrorist detonating a
        nuclear device on American soil is a critical security
        challenge.
            (2) Nuclear forensics contributes to the Nation's ability
        to deter and respond to nuclear terrorism through technical
        analysis of nuclear materials intercepted intact or retrieved
        from post-explosion debris.
            (3) Nuclear forensics, when combined with law enforcement
        and intelligence data, contributes to attribution of the
        nuclear material or nuclear device to its source.
            (4) The Nation's nuclear forensics capability can be
        improved, as identified in a report from the American Physical
        Society and American Association for the Advancement of
        Science, with regard to the following:
                    (A) Workforce: The training of skilled personnel
                needs to be accelerated. The Nation is understaffed in
                nuclear forensics, with just 35 to 50 experts at United
                States national laboratories and more than half of them
                likely to retire in the next 10 to 15 years.
                    (B) Equipment: Most of the Nation's field and
                laboratory equipment used in nuclear forensics analysis
                dates to the Cold War. A program should be undertaken
                to develop and manufacture advanced, automated field-
                equipment that allows for more rapid and accurate
                radiation analysis.
                    (C) International Databases: Nuclear material can
                have a unique signature depending on its source reactor
                of fuel facility. A shared and accessible international
                database of nuclear samples can help to more quickly
                match debris or an intercepted nuclear device with its
                original source.
                    (D) Independent Evaluation Group: Given the
                intelligence community's failings in the assessment of
                weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, there may be
                international skepticism regarding any nuclear
                forensics investigation the United States might
                perform. A group of recognized experts not associated
                with the federal investigation would provide
                independent validation of the forensics analysis.
                    (E) Exercises: Nuclear forensics investigations
                take time and the results may not be immediately
                conclusive. Through realistic drills, senior leadership
                can become aware of the strengths and limitations of
                the nation's nuclear forensics capability and
                appropriately incorporate the capability into decision
                making.
