They Can't Help Themselves
The Senate apparently will vote this week to delay for six months---not for the year as originally planned---the scheduled reduction of 10 percent in physician reimbursements for Medicare services. So why the shorter fix? Forget all the handwringing about unanimous-consent demands and short-term fiscal patches and the other variants of Beltway
blarney fueled by an eggnog recipe not prominent in family cookbooks passed down from generation to generation just for the holidays. No, merely bear in mind that next year is a leap year: Six months from now, both the weather and the election will be heating up. Would our honorable solons play politics with physician reimbursements for services provided our seniors? Perish the thought.
