On the recordNovember 20, 2003
Well, the gentleman has already acknowledged, Mr. Speaker, that I have been a community banker, and as a community banker, I, of course, see financial statements from various people, some of them doctors. And I know full well that while it may appear that they have significant revenue, so too do they have significant expense. My own personal physician back home told me, a very compassionate man, that, unfortunately, he could not take any more Medicare patients, and that grieved him greatly. Let me ask the gentleman very specifically, because this question has come up a lot. Cancer docs: A growing population and a growing need out there. They seem to be quite concerned about what this bill does to them or does not do to them. Have we addressed that critical issue in this legislation?
