YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Senator Debbie Stabenow met today with advocates for seniors, military families and doctors to highlight the importance of compensating physicians appropriately. Senator Stabenow explained that the move is necessary to create more stability for health care providers in an uncertain climate. The Medicare payment formula for physicians has been broken for nearly a decade -- requiring Congress to step in time after time to delay cuts. It is critical both for our military and their families, as well as for seniors and people with disabilities, that we stop what we know is a failed formula, said Senator Stabenow. She was joined by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA).
