>> Tell me exactly what they got...

I've told you what they got.

Medicare was scheduled to cut physician fees by ANOTHER 21.5% next year. Instead, they got the following payment in full:

"Medicare payment: Rebases the physician pay formula and gives doctors a pay increase in 2010 instead of a 21.5% cut. Establishes a new formula, starting in 2011, that allows annual spending targets to grow based on a rate of the gross domestic product plus 1%, with GDP plus 2% for evaluation and management services and preventive care. Provides a 5% Medicare bonus for physicians in primary care specialties."
