A Republican U.S. senator who said earlier he opposed his partys House bill to repeal the core provisions of PPACA is now strongly leaning toward supporting the Senate version.
The doctors who treat Medicare patients would avoid a cut in their government reimbursements under a proposal to be presented to U.S. House members next week, according to Republican and Democratic aides.
The U.S. Houses move toward a temporary patch that would expire Dec. 31 shows lawmakers desire to wrap up the congressional session as soon as possible and minimize disruption to the start of the tax-filing season in January.
The U.S. Senate cleared for President Barack Obamas signature a one-year delay of a 24 percent cut in payment rates for physicians who accept Medicare patients.
The U.S. House passed a one-year delay of a 24 percent payment cut to physicians who accept Medicare patients, with Republican leaders pushing the bill through in a move that masked trouble finding the votes for it.
Republicans so far have been unable to garner enough support for a bill that would seek to extract spending or policy concessions in exchange for raising the cap.
