Bill Adds Drug Benefit; Vote Is Victory for President Bush By ROBERT PEAR and CARL HULSE Published: November 25, 2003 nytimes.com ASHINGTON, Nov. 25 — The Senate passed a sweeping Medicare bill today that would add new prescription drug benefits for millions of seniors as part of the biggest revision in the program since it was created in 1965 as a cornerstone of the Great Society. The bill now goes for signing to President Bush, who has made passage of the legislation a domestic priority. The Senate approval, by a 54-44 vote, is a political victory for Mr. Bush, who hopes to use it in his re-election campaign to support his contention that Republicans can be trusted more than Democrats to protect the interests of older Americans.
