Budget Back in 1971, Dole proposed his first balanced budget amendment. He considers a balanced budget an essential element of the federal government. Dole proposes to balance the budget by the year 2002. His plan will include a line item veto to weed out funding for unnecessary programs.

He says community- and home-based care need to be more available. Additionally, Dole says that if a man changes jobs, he should not lose his coverage. When changing jobs, one shouldn't face limitations because of Dre-existine conditions. He said individual states should be responsible for redesigning the Medicare system.
