PROC LOGISTIC or SURVEYLOGISTIC are the procs you're interested in. I think you need to break down your problem and solve it step by step.
1. Get data (you mentioned procuring MEPS data)
2. Univariate analysis - use proc means/surveymeans and/or proc freq/surveyfreq. You can't really get more simple than those procs.
3. Graph your data where ever possible to visualize relationships
4. Modelling such as logistic regression

There isn't a standard proc, you need to determine what your question is and then what type of analysis you want to do. Then you can find a proc that will perform that analysis.
