			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again we were saved from another Medicare cut at the last minute. <img style="float: right" src="http://www.medicalpracticetrends.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/cowboy-robber.jpg" alt="cowboy-robber.jpg" width="230" />This is really getting old. The only consolation is that for once it is getting more press coverage than in the past, mostly with the (correct) slant that these cuts will ultimately hurt Medicare beneficiaries. Several Republican senators changed their votes from their previous positions on HR 6331 to yes after receiving a lot of flack from their constituents, many of them physicians.</p>
<p>Someone (a Fox News follower) said, &#8220;There must have been a reason that those senators voted against it.&#8221; Well, yes, apparently there was. </p>
