11/20: Doc Fix or Doc Tricks?

Posted by Editor on November 20, 2009 · 2 Comments 

Should we add to the deficit or pay doctors less? That’s the question Congress is contemplating after coming up $200 billion short for Medicare providers’ reimbursement this year.

The $200 billion “Doc Fix” issue is controversial because Democrats are trying to separate it off from the larger health care bill snaking its way through Congress. By separating off doc fix, they can maintain that Obamacare is budget neutral, because that’s the way it was scored by the Congressional Budget Office.

They can’t maintain the bill’s budget-neutrality after a doc fix is added into the mix.

    I agree and it’s good to hear you say that. I thought it was only the liberals who were getting shut out. I guess it’s everybody. Weird.
