They were well compensated in exchange for their support, as I've pointed out to you at least a couple dozen times and for some reason you still can't get it. A couple of dozen times (lie)? Tell me exactly what they got... I would like to know what it takes for conservatives to sell out to "socialism". LOL. How much you want to bet you don't get an answer? In fact, I bet he puts you on ignore for being so cheeky.

>> 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."
