run-75441--

Yes, very good.

And I'm so, so tried of hearing about the "doctor fix" which never had anything to do with the reform plan, was a dumb idea in the first place (becuase a crude across the board) and ultimately just served as a budget gimmick for Bush- he always showed the savings that would be generated by cuts under the SGR formula as savings in his budget-- making his budgets look less expensive.

thanks for the link
