If you would read the article you would see that this has been a problem since 2003. Both parties have refused to seek a permanent solution. Every year the Docs threatened to refuse Medicare patients and congress agrees to a modest increae in payments. The same will happen this year and, hopefully, Obama will seek a permanent solution.

It is similar to the alternative tax that was initially passed to force those with high non taxable income to pay an income tax. However, each year congress has to do a patch to avoid more taxpayers being caught up in paying the alternative tax.

Maybe, some day we will have some in congress who will act in the best interest of the people and pass a permanent fix. Both parties are too busy grandstanding.
