Are you supportive of the bill or do you think that it should have been voted down? Only curious. I am not sure really.
With a 98-2 approval, I’d bet there is something to appease everyone and give everyone cover, but if Obama is eager to sign it, it’s probably more bad than good.
This bill does nothing but maintain the status and keeps Obamacare on life support.
I HATE the Republican Party
I was definitely not for the 21% cut to doctors, which was to happen at midnight. Actually it “technically” went into effect on April 1, but Medicare was holding off carrying it through until tomorrow.
Now ... was that bill all I would want it to be or were there some things there that I wouldn’t want? No and yes, respectively. But, as they say about legislation and sausage ... you don’t want to see how it’s made ... LOL ...
Yon just never get everything ... :-) ...
The key for me was the exodus of doctors from the system if the 21% cut had been put into effect, because I already see on my Medicare how much Medicare already forces the doctors to “write off” on every single Medicare visit. I’m amazed that doctors even take these cuts as it is right now!
I do not know enough about this to give an informed comment, but I do know that the amount of money that the paltry sums that physicians are forced to take under Medicare rules is insulting to them.
