MOGADISHU， Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Somali army， alongside the African Union troops， killed at least eight Al-Shabaab militants in the south-central Bay region on Tuesday.

Regional minister for militia rehabilitation in Southwest State， Hussein Hassan Mohamed， told reporters that a senior Al-Shabaab official was among those killed in the operation in Qansax-Dheere location， south of Baidoa town.

"They (the militants) attempted to make resistance， but we overpowered them and killed eight of the terrorists including a senior official whose name is Hassan Ganey，" Hassan said， adding the joint forces suffered no casualties.

The operation came a day after Al-Shabaab militants killed three government soldiers in an ambush in an area close to Baidoa town， the administrative capital of Southwest State.

Based in southern Somalia， the Al-Shabaab Islamist group carries out periodic attacks in the country.

Medicare supplemental health plans Nike Air Max Deluxe Homme Soldes , popular among politically powerful retirees, could come under the budget knife being wielded by the special deficit-reduction panel of the U.S. Congress, according to sources keeping close watch on its work.

The so-called “Medigap” insurance plans shield the elderly — many living on fixed incomes — from costly deductibles and other expenses not covered by the traditional fee-for-service Medicare healthcare program.

“This one is clearly on the table Nike Air Max Deluxe Femme Soldes ,” said a lobbyist who has been following “super committee” deliberations on ways to trim federal budget deficits by at least $1.2 trillion over 10 years.

But super committee Democrats are unlikely to vote to saddle retirees with new out-of-pocket expenses if Republicans refuse to embrace tax increases for the wealthy.

While the elderly buy the private plans, studies suggest they boost government Medicare costs as the extra coverage for deductibles and co-pays encourages greater use of medical services. That, in turn Nike Air Max Deluxe Soldes , pushes up costs for Medicare, which has to pay for its portion of the care.

As a result, proposals to limit the plans have been included in a number of deficit reduction packages Air Max Deluxe Soldes , including one proposed by President Barack Obama.

A congressional aide, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters it was one of the ideas being reviewed by the super committee.

Medigap plans are popular among people who choose not to enroll in Medicare Advantage plans Nike Air Max Deluxe Pas Cher Soldes , which deliver Medicare benefits through private insurers, or have no employer-backed retirement health benefits. Some Medigap plans pay nearly all the relatively high Medicare cost-sharing requirements.

The federal government already regulates Medigap plans, which are offered by insurers such as United Healthcare Insurance Nike Air Max Deluxe Rose Pas Cher , a unit of UnitedHealth Group Inc , and Bankers Life and Casualty Company, a unit of CNO Financial Group Inc. .

Of some 46 million people enrolled in Medicare Nike Air Max Deluxe Bleu Pas Cher , about 9 million have signed up for one of 10 standardized Medigap plans. A majority are enrolled in plans with little or no deductibles or cost-sharing requirements, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

ON THE TABLE

Budget analysts argue that getting “more skin in the game” by requiring Medicare enrollees to pay a share of costs that otherwise would be covered by Medigap plans would discourage unnecessary visits to the doctor.

In his submission to the super committee, Obama proposed a 30 percent surcharge on premiums for new Medicare beneficiaries who buy low deductible Medigap plans starting in 2017.

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said Obama’s proposal saved an estimated $2.5 billion over 10 years. But the budget savings would grow over time as new Medicare enrollees turn to higher deductible Medigap plans to save money.

More far-reaching proposals that would affect current holders of low deductible Medigap plans would save even more — as much as $93 billion over 10 years Nike Air Max Deluxe Blanche Pas Cher , according to the CBO.

The six Democrats and six Republicans on the super committee have until Nov. 23 to develop a deficit-reduction plan. If it fails, a similar amount of across-the-board spending cuts would be automatically triggered starting in 2013. Congress will have one month to vote on any super committee deal.
