Can Congress Put an End to Annual Medicare Payment Ritual?
Kaiser Health News Mar. 17, 2014
"Congress is still searching for money to avoid a 24 percent cut in pay for doctors who treat Medicare patients. But seniors are already paying their share of the cost in premiums, as if the pay cut -- scheduled to kick in on April 1 -- won't happen.... Instead of replacing the formula as enacted, Congress is likely to delay the cut until the end of the year, when they will face the same dilemma again. In addition to the anxiety this annual ritual provokes in many patients and their doctors, a premium subsidy for some low-income Medicare beneficiaries is also in jeopardy."
