Republican Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) drops objections as Senate approves and president signs temporary payment fix.

There's still no Medicare doc fix.

Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.) continues to object to allowing an extenders bill to move forward under unanimous consent. Democrats aren't the only ones who are urging the bill's approval. A member of Bunning's party, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), requested the measure pass this morning, but the senator from Kentucky raised an objection.

CMS has released this statement on its decision to hold Medicare claims as Congress works to pass a pay-fix. We summed this up in our report on the Medicare claims hold on Friday.
