The FC is nuts, frankly. Cut 8% from Medicare? A lot of practices don't even accept Medicare because the reimbursement rates are lower than they can tolerate. Just as a "for example". The FC has a roast with some fat on it, and they want to chop 8% of that roast on the assumption that the fat is evenly distributed. They're going to waste a lot of meat. - 1pg

I agree cuts should be surgical. But my understanding this was temporary for thirty days and to be replaced with separate appropriation bills developed under regular order.
