Second Thoughts
Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) -- chair of the conference committee charged with developing an extension of the payroll tax cut and delaying scheduled reimbursement cuts to Medicare physicians -- questioned whether using savings from ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would be possible to fund the "doc fix." Camp said that because the idea is not included in the House or Senate bills, it could be "outside the scope" of the conference committee. However, many members of the conference committee still hope that the war savings can be used for a doc fix.
