Medicare cuts in physician payments

Supporters of a bill to stop cuts in Medicare reimbursement to physicians and freeze those rates for the next ten years say unless that is done it will encourage doctors to stop seeing Medicare patients.

“We want to make sure that more doctors take Medicare patients, not less .” said Harry Reid

This bill went nowhere in a rare exhibition of common sense, however the attempt will be back no doubt.

But one has to wonder what the proponents of a” robust” public option using Medicare payment rates are thinking.
