But the quality of service to the truly needy is being jeopradized by the actions of a few greedy people. The Medicare, Medicaid and Home Health Care pro grams for the elderly are providing valuable and neces sary services, but the pro grams have been abused. With the cost for Medicare doubling QTnexlyear's budget, it is well past the time for Congress to get a firm hand on the purse strings and the reasons for the increased costs of the health care programs. Also, since Congress is on the threshold of passing some type of National Health Insurance program, it should get a better under standing of what is wrong with the existing programs. The cost and complexities of Medi care and Medicaid are simple compared to a program af fecting health services to all Americans. Congress has finally recog nized that many problems do exist with the Medicaid and Medicare program. Joint hearings were held a few weeks ago by the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Heal th, of which I am a member, together with the Senate Spe cial Committee on Aging The hearings were directed speci fically at home health card fraud and abuse. It is these in-home services which can help maintain senior citizens .in independence and postpone or prevent institutionalization. While the potential is great for the program, so is the poten tial for fraud and lack of proper treatment for hun dreds of thousands who need the service. I don't need to tell you the gory details of how a few people in California, New York and Chicago have soak ed us. But I do want you to know I am helping draft a bill with tough enforcement of the law. We've got to crack down, because billions of dol lars are at stake.

Finally, when asked of Wa chovia's overall commitment to minorities, and where should people go if they need ed financial backing, Ains worth concluded, "Wachovia is committed to seeing to it that no sector of the communi ty is overlooked in terms of its financial need. We have three departments that are geared to respond to credit financing at Wachovia. "Retail Credit, Commercial Banking, and Business Deve lopment.
