 As
we work on health reform, Congress faces a March 1 deadline to
permanently repeal the broken Medicare physician payment formula that
puts access to care and choice of physician at risk for seniors,
military families and baby boomers. On March 1, physicians caring for
seniors and military families face a 21 percent cut because of the
flawed payment formula, which will force them to make tough decisions.
The U.S. Senate must once and for all fix the broken formula to preserve
the physician foundation of Medicare for current and future seniors who
rely on the program." J. James Rohack, MD, President, American
Medical Association |
