BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisconsin, one of the bill's two sponsors, said Medicare Advantage programs provide "pale alternatives to what Medicare does" and undermine traditional Medicare.
