  1. So Medicare is keeping rates flat instead of cutting them. To my knowledge that makes 5 years in a row in which payments to doctors have been held flat.

  3. This would never happen in a universal single payer plan run by the government.
    Medicare only does it because of that sonofabitch George Bush.
    Now go out to play.
