House schedules vote on healthcare reform, MGMA supports reform bills

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote as early as Saturday on the America’s Healthy Future Act of 2009 (H.R. 3962), the House's broad healthcare reform bill. The Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) has sent a letter supporting the bill in conjunction with the passage of the Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act (H.R. 3961). These interdependent pieces of legislation reflect MGMA’s principles for healthcare reform. By successfully approving both bills, the House of Representatives will have taken another important step toward reforming the healthcare delivery system.

To ensure that the pending 21.2 percent Medicare physician payment cut is averted and the flawed sustainable growth rate formula is finally repealed, MGMA members should contact their Representatives and urge House passage of H.R. 3961.

Look for updates on legislative developments, including grassroots instructions, in the MGMA Washington Connexion.
