Medicare Gets Anouther Chance

Last Thursday S. 3101 failed to get through a filibuster in order to receive a vote. So the House took up the cause yesterday and passed HR. 6331. I had an opportunity to speak with the labor liaison for Rep. Wu, and expressed our need for a progressive bill. The House essentially passed the same bill as the senates bill only with less swipes at Medicare advantage.

The Senate is also looking at a doc fix only bill that will only restore payments to doctors but the Alliance does not support that initiative.

Both Oregon Senators voted in favor of S. 3101 but lets not take any chances and let our Senators know we want this bill to pass.
