Rep. Burgess applauds movement of Medicare reform, urges Senate action



Rep. Michael C. Burgess, M.D., this week, applauded the House of Representatives’ action to repeal the broken Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula – a calculation that unfairly reimburses Medicare providers at a disproportionately low rate. Further, he calls on the Senate to support the legislation for the long-term integrity of our Medicare system and savings for taxpayers.
