Congress Misses Deadline For Fixing Medicare Doc Pay -- Again

NPR reports Congress Misses Deadline For Fixing Medicare Doc Pay -- Again "For the third time this year, Congress is going to miss a deadline to avert a 21 percent cut in payments to doctors who treat Medicare patients. And for the third time this year, Medicare officials will, starting next Tuesday, hold off paying Medicare claims for as long as two weeks in hopes that by mid-June, Congress will pass the necessary legislation to eliminate the cut — which virtually no Republican or Democrat supports."

Idiots.
