Cantor: Medicare policy needs to be addressed

by: CHARLES FIEGL Nov 5, 2010

"As we are making our case to the public, we can also take concrete steps to lay the groundwork for bigger reform, including reworking the budget process and addressing, in a fiscally responsible manner, near-term funding issues, such as Medicare reimbursement policies."

Those are the words of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), the minority whip in the House of Representatives. They appear on page six of his 22-page "Delivering on Our Commitment: A Majority to Limit Government and Create Jobs." Cantor is running for GOP majority leader and the document outlines how Republicans would legislate under his command.

He makes a few other mentions of the Medicare program, but doesn't provide much detail. However, it is noteworthy that Cantor singles out Medicare reimbursement and believes it needs to be addressed. Perhaps, the next Congress will make payment reform a priority?
