At the June 14 meeting, committee Chairman Sen Max Baucus (D, Mont) said the SGR must be repealed because it threatens physicians with deeper payment cuts every year and causes seniors to fear losing access to their physicians. These organizations “are changing how they pay physicians to create incentives that will improve patient care,” Baucus said in a release. “They are rewarding the physicians who keep patients healthy and cut down on emergency room visits and hospital readmissions.”
