07 08 bidding competitive congress cut lab pay physician repeals reverses
The Senate on July 9 approved legislation that repeals the laboratory competitive bidding demonstration project, extends the so-called "TC grandfather clause" for 18 months, and reverses the 10.6 percent cut in physician reimbursements that took effect July 1. The measure already passed the House and now goes to the president for his signature. “This is a great day for laboratories and the Medicare beneficiaries who rely on critically important laboratory services,” said Alan Mertz, president of the American Clinical Laboratory Association (ACLA). “We now urge President Bush to sign this much needed legislation into law as soon as possible.”

beezzie writes "Last week, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered a pay cut, to minimum wage of $6.55/hr,, for 200,000 state workers because a state budget hadn't been approved yet. The state controller, who has opposed the pay cut on principle and legal grounds, now says the pay cut isn't even feasible because the state's payroll systems are so antiquated. He says it would take 6 months to go to minimum wage, and 9 months more to restore salaries once a budget is passed. The system is based on COBOL, according to the Sacramento Bee, and the state hasn't yet found the funds or resources, in 10 years of trying, to upgrade it." The article quotes a consultant on how hard it is to find COBOL programmers; he says you usually have to draw them out of retirement.

Choire Sicha has the latest update on Gawker's payroll, and it's pretty ugly. Gawker writers get paid per pageview, remember, and that pay, as of the beginning of Q3, has fallen by 23%, from $6.50 to $5.00 per thousand pageviews. That's on top of the 13% pay cut they took at the beginning of the second quarter, to $6.50 from $7.50 per thousand pageviews.

The Senate was one vote shy of the 60 needed to invoke cloture and allow consideration of the Medicare spending bill approved by the House with a wide bipartisan margin (H.R. 6331) and granting a physician fee increase from July 1 of this year through 2009. The stumbling block: GOP opposition to reductions in Medicare managed care payments to pay for the increase. The president has said he will veto any such reductions like those contained in H.R. 6331.
