From Kaiser Health NewsThe dealPresident Barack Obama and Congress struck this week to raise the nation's

debt ceiling has prompted many questions about how a special "super

committee" established by the law will affect federal health care

programs.By the day before Thanksgiving, the bipartisan,

bicameral (both chambers) panel of 12 (6 from the House, 6 from the Senate)

lawmakers must report recommendations to trim at least $1.2 trillion in

federal spending over the next decade. If the committee members don't reach

consensus, or if Congress does not approve a package they offer by Dec.

23, a series of automatic spending cuts would kick in by 2013.Following is a link to a Guide to how the

panel's deliberations could influence Medicare and Medicaid.http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2011/August/03/debt-deal-FAQ.aspx
