AMA Cheers Senate Vote to Stop Medicare Physician Payment Cuts
In a vote a story in yesterday's Wall Street Journal called "a win for the American Medical Association," the U.S.Senate on Wednesday passed the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (H.R. 6331) by a veto-proof majority of 69-30.The AMA celebrates the outcome as a victory for seniors, the disabled, military families and physicians.
The AMA especially appreciates the heroic efforts of Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who made this critical vote his first after his surgery in early June. Eighteen Republican senators joined Senate Democrats in voting for H.R. 6331 to make its passage a truly bipartisan process.
The legislation would replace a 10.6 percent cut in Medicare physician payments that took effect July 1 with a 0.5 percent update extension through Dec. 31 and provide a 1.1 percent update for 2009. The U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R.6333 Jun 4 by an overwhelming, veto-proof majority of 355-59. Now the AMA calls on President George W. Bush to sign the bill to protect access to health care for seniors, the disabled and military families.
"We urge President Bush to hear and heed the voices of seniors, the disabled and military families-and sign the bill into law for the health of America," AMA President-elect J. James Rohack, MD, said.
