Sen. Max Baucus wants his health care bill to include changes to the Sustainable Growth Rate folly. Does he have an idea of how to do that? I’m eager to see what happens here.

In opening remarks, Baucus identified a major challenge going forward.

I want to acknowledge up front that we did not do as much to correct the payment of doctors—especially as I would have liked under the incredibly misnamed sustainable growth rate (SGR). The SGR needs to be fixed permanently. I look forward for further progress on this.
