A Texas Medical Association physician calls Congress' repeated temporary Medicare fixes "crazy," as she advocates for a permanent solution to the flawed Medicare physician funding formula (the SGR). She worries how the 21.2% cut, staved off again temporarily by emergency Congressional measure Tuesday, will affect her patients. Physician Medicare payments have been essentially the same for 10 years, and TMA physicians and others believe the only solution is a permanent fix of the funding formula.
