New legislation in the House would reform the formula for Medicare reimbursements to physicians and prevent a 21.2% pay cut scheduled for 2010. The legislation would temporarily base reimbursements on the Medicare Economic Index, which measures inflation in physician-practice costs. Do you favor or oppose this new legislation?
