I heard about this and just found this story.

Here is an intersting one:

"ATLANTA, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Growth in chronic illnesses and related issues such as obesity must be arrested to control Medicare spending, two U.S. experts said."

I found this article and thought I would pass it along.

"With a sizable cut to Medicare physician payments taking effect in just one week, the American Medical Association is seeking clarity from Congress on its plan of action to stop the 21.2% reduction."

MAXIMUS, a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced today that its Federal Services subsidiary has been awarded a one-year contract by the Centers for Medicare

Unless Congress steps in this week, Medicare will begin paying doctors less, which could make it harder for seniors to find doctors willing to see them.
