re: #32 Walter L. Newton

Gee… I wonder why the AMA endorsed this…

“As most health staff knows, leadership and the White House are working with the AMA to rally physicians for a full SGR repeal later this spring. However, both health and communications staff should understand we do not want that policy discussion discussed at this time, lest (it) complicate the last critical push to pass health reform,” according to the memo.

The whole “doc fix” issue is a problem with or without this bill. It is a separate issue that has to be solved.

Maybe the republicans who started this thing (cuts) in the first place, but refused to fund, will take it on. /
