Fee-for-service payments account for about $173.6 billion of Medicare payments.

This year, such payments will account for almost 1 percent of all individual income tax revenue.

In addition, direct payments by the patient and voluntary health insurance premiums account for a large proportion of funding.

(These payments generally account for 3 to 4 percent of a carrier's operating costs.)

In the years that followed, those payments became regular, formalized, and according to the bid committee records, strictly accounted for.

Past due accounts will be blocked from further use until payment is received and account balance is brought to zero.

These payments account for less than 10% of the CAP budget.

I therefore request clarification as to how it is that payments for this accounted for only 59% of resources.

Let us not forget that direct payments account for only part of farmers' income.

Fictitious payments and other transactions not recorded in official statistics accounted for $4.6 billion.
