House Passes HR 3961 — Legislation to Permanently Repeal the SGR (Nov. 19, 2009)

FROM CMA:

The U.S. House of Representatives passed HR 3961, a bill that would repeal the current Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), the formula that calls for annual cuts in Medicare physician payments. The 243–183 vote was largely on party lines.

AMA Interim Meeting

“Together we are stronger.” Our AMA’s new motto was introduced to the House of Delegates at its interim meeting in Atlanta as part of a multi-dimensional PR campaign that highlights the tremendous contribution America’s physicians make to our country. The delegates watched a moving and inspirational three-minute film reminding us all why we are physicians and how much we mean to others. As the House worked through its business of debating and creating policy, delegates were reminded that the likelihood of success in influencing others depends on the unity with which we speak.
