WASHINGTON – U.S. Congressman Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.-08), penned an op-ed for Modern Healthcare urging Congress to act to address looming reimbursement cuts that will interfere with doctors pay. 

“For over 19 months, our nation’s doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers have been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic fighting each day for the health and well-being of our loved ones. With the insurgence of the delta variant flooding hospitals across the nation with patients, our nation’s healthcare workers have been once again dealing with overcrowded hospitals, staffing shortages, and equipment issues.

“Now with more than 700,000 deaths in the U.S. due to the pandemic and the surges in COVID-19 cases during the past several months, it is no secret that our healthcare professionals are spread thin. This makes the decision by the Biden Administration and Democrats in Congress to not address looming physician pay cuts during a pandemic completely incomprehensible,” said Congressman Bucshon.
