AMA targets Republicans who didn't vote to stop Medicare cuts
The American Medical Association is making a house call on several Republicans running for re-election to the U.S. Senate.
Upset that several Republican Senators failed to vote to prevent a 10 percent cut in payments to doctors from the Medicare health insurance program for the elderly last week, the AMA has begun airing television and radio ads in more than a half dozen states including those where GOP Senators are in fierce re-election campaigns.
All of the ads planned thus far will run in states represented by Republican Senators who last week voted against restoring the cut. On Monday, the Bush administration said it would not process Medicare claims for the first 10 days of July but the cut would kick in after Congress reconsidered its earlier action.
