Medicare "Doc Fix" issue Looms as Senator Reid Narrows the Bipartisan Jobs Bill

In a surprise announcement this afternoon, Senator Reid has narrowed the proposed Baucus & Grassley bipartisan jobs bill to focus it on jobs related issues. The problem is that some of the components added were critical "extenders" to Medicare that are needed to address critical issues including the 21% Medicare pay cut for physicians on March 1st. This issue must be addressed now.
