By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON The United States could have a bright future, with falling trade deficits, rising productivity and a higher standard of living, all thanks to a balanced budget, many economists believe. They caution, however, that the long-tergains will not come without some near-terpain. Economic growth will be marginally slower and unemployment slightly higher over the next secn years as the federal government trims nearly SI trillion from its spending plans, they say. Most analysts don't expect the deficit savings in the House- - and Senate-passe- d budget bills to be enough to trigger a recession, as long as the Federal Reserve does its part by lowering interest rates. "What we all expect to happen is for the Fed to respond to the deficit reductions by letting inter- est rates decline. That is the biggest factor that w ill cushion the economy from the impact of the spending cuts." Chris Varvares. economist at Laurence H. Meyer & Associates in St. Louis, said Monday. Economists predict that the declines in interest rates would be substantial, sending the Treasury bond, currently at 6.4 percent, down by as much as 2 percentage points by 2001 This gain would come from a 30-ye- looser Fed interest rate policy and muM Newel!

Such a sharp reduction in borrowing costs would be a boon not only for business in esurient but other interest-sensitiv- e sectors of the economy such as housing and autos. Analysts said that by reducing overall demand in the government and private sectors, the move to a balanced budget would help the country attack its other deficit headache, the trade imbalance. Peter Jaquette. senior economist . at the WEFA Group in Bala Pa., said his firm forecasts that a balanced budget would allow the country's broadest measure of trade, the current account.

Physicians weary of battling with managed-car- e firms over patient care could find themselves in the driver's seat under the GOP remake of Medicare. They would be allowed to form networks with other providers, bypassing insurers and HMOs, to compete directly for the business of the 37 million elderly or disabled Medicare beneficiaries. Like other private health plans in the GOP's new "Medicate Plus" arrangement, they would be paid flat annual rates set in advance to meet all the health care needs for those who signed up. No longer would they be paid for each service they ordered. But will they make things better for patients? A study in the Oct.
