Medicare is going broke and we can’t even cut doctor’s pay.
I am afraid the whole sysem will collapse. Maybe that is what the Democrats want. But it seems like taking care of the poor would have included cutting payments and keeping the system solvent

Stupid democrats hate greedy corporations but support giving more of our tax dollars to members of one of the wealthiest occupations in our country. Then they whine about medical care being too expensive.
On the other hand, paying them more from medicare makes socializing medicine for the working class and just-plain-lazy even more impossible. That’s a definite plus for America.

Now wait a second, guys. If these doctors are taking care of patients in Medicare, then they deserve to get paid.
Either abolish the program or show them the money. Can't have it both ways.

“Under the bill, the costs to the government of canceling the doctor pay cut would be offset with about $13 billion in reimbursement reductions to insurers such as UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Aetna Inc., which contract with the Medicare program.”
So it is not the doctors who will make out but the insurance companies. doctors will make less than they were under the dem plan but the insurance companies will get a huge chunk of money instead.
Read the story folks! Congress wants the insurance companies to make out in this deal. After all, they will be the ones who administer the governments universal health care plan! Better to have the insurance companies on their side then try to get a bunch of independent contractors to agree to the scheme.
After all, companies are easier to control than individual contractors.
