Senate jobs bill extends Medicare payment rates -text
WASHINGTON, Feb 9 (Reuters) - A jobs-creation bill that
could pass the Senate this week would delay a scheduled 20
percent reduction in doctor payments under the Medicare
health-insurance program, according to a copy of the text
obtained by Reuters.
The bill also extends soon-to-expire jobless payments,
healthcare subsidies for the unemployed and highway-funding
programs, according to the text of the bill, which has not yet
been introduced.
