The AP (12/9, Alonso-Zaldivar) reports, "The Senate approved a measure Wednesday to avoid a steep cut in Medicare pay for doctors by shifting some money from President Barack Obama's health care overhaul law." This "deal by Senate leaders of both parties was approved by a voice vote and appeared headed for passage by the House, which would send the measure to Obama for his signature." Notably, the "president had urged lawmakers to move quickly," saying, "This agreement is an important step forward to stabilize Medicare."
