Prevent Medicare payment cuts to physicians

Zinke urged Congress to stop a scheduled 3.37% reduction in Medicare payments to physicians. He argued that preventing the cut would help avoid further reductions in provider payments after three years of cuts, which he warned could lead medical groups to eliminate services, furlough staff, freeze hiring, or delay health initiatives.

Context: This was a request for congressional action in December 2023, not a statement that the cut was ultimately prevented.
