You can change this to grayscale if you want. Or display a chart using Google API.

But you can look at previous budgeted numbers using this dropdown control. Mandatory: By default the chart shows all spending without regard to mandatory or discretionary. Select Mandatory if you
want to chart only federal Mandatory spending, Discretionary if you want to chart only federal Discretionary spending, Both if you want both federal Mandatory and Discretionary spending broken out using the dropdown control in the table heading. |

The Budget of the United States Government reports Medicare outlays as a single line item, subfunction 571 in Historical Table 3.2, but Usgovernmentspending.com shows a breakdown of the Medicare program into its constituent parts, as follows:
- Part A: Hospital Insurance
- Part B: Supplementary Medical Insurance
- Part C: Medicare Advantage
- Part D: SMI Drug Plan
You can inspect the extracted data from Medicare Trustees Reports Table IV.C2 here. And see the blog entry that introduced the Medicare Part C breakout to usgovernmentspending.com here.
