According to FoxNews Politics,
Congress passes bill to stop cut in payments to Medicare doctors | Fox News
there has not been a cut to the payments made to doctors by Medicare since 1997, except for one in 2002. Every year it comes up, and every year congress passes a last-minute patch to the proposed cuts. Would someone who thinks Medicare keeps cutting payments to doctors correct me with facts if I am wrong? (Not trying to be a wiseacre; just trying to understand the situation.)
