O Congress vai na ruptura sem obstruir cortes de Medicare
por Barbara Kram, Editor | July 01, 2008
"Congress needs to understand that many internists are close to despair and will have to close their practices if the cut remains in effect. Going forward, though, Congress must do more than just stop the SGR cuts," Dr. Harris vowed. "Comprehensive reforms are needed to once again make internal medicine and primary care the top choices of our best and brightest young people, and to sustain the committed internists who are struggling to keep their practices open when Medicare doesn't even cover their overhead." ACP members include 125,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), related subspecialists, and medical students. Internists specialize in the prevention, detection, and treatment of illness in adults.
