No more doc fixes.

The Senate approved the permanent doc fix 92-8. 92-8!!!

I’m a big boy. I can admit when I’m wrong:

There’s no way President Obama doesn’t sign this. The SGR will be repealed. I won’t have to write about the doc fix anymore. Docs everywhere rejoice. And, once again, respect the pretty impressive lobbying power of the AMA. Like them or hate them, they know how to get the job done.
