President Bush on Tuesday vetoed a bill protecting doctors from a Medicare pay cut, but both houses of Congress swiftly overrode the veto with large bipartisan majorities, so the bill is now law.
This is good news for everyone in the country and bad news for big business insurance industry types. I personally know doctors whom have stopped dealing with medicare because it's too much trouble, takes to long to get claims and don't get paid enough in the end.
The proposed pay cut to make it more profitable for insurance industry and adversely effect virtually everyone else in the country was ridiculous at it's inception.
GOOD JOB CONGRESS !

In Other Countries They Call It Treason
President George W. Bush, asserting executive privilege, has rejected Congress' request for documents on FBI interviews with Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney from a probe to find who leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.
The Bush regime said on Wednesday that turning over such records would violate the king's rights to lie to the little people at large.
In a letter to the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee, U.S. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Keith Nelson wrote, "The attorney general has requested that the King of the U.S. assert executive privilege with respect to these documents and the King has done so."
The decree from his highness was delivered on the same day the committee was scheduled to vote on a possible contempt resolution against Attorney General Michael Mukasey for failing to live up to his oath of office and provide the requested information.
Rep. Henry Waxman, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, called the executive privilege claim "ludicrous," but postponed committee action against Mukasey, saying lawmakers are scared shitless of the king and needed time to review King Bush's bullshit claim.
In 2003, as the Bush regime was preparing it's lies about WMD to go to war with Iraq, media reports surfaced discussing Wilson's work at the CIA. She is married to former ambassador Joseph Wilson, who at the time justifiably and truthfully accused the Bush administration of tailoring intelligence in the most remarkable way since Hitler to rewrite historic information to justify the Iraq war.
Following the faux federal probe into the matter, dick sucker numero uno, Cheney aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby was CONVICTED on obstruction and perjury charges.
Wait wait wait let me say that again....Lewis "Scooter" Libby was CONVICTED on obstruction and perjury charges.
Bush subsequently commuted (said justice is his to determine and not the court's) Libby's 2 1/2-year sentence.
Waxman said the probe did not get to the bottom of Cheney's possible (probable, master mind) role in the leak, prompting his committee to seek (but be denied illegally by the Bush regime) the FBI documents.
"There is a key document that could (would) explain what the vice president knew and what he did," Waxman said, referring to Libby's statement to the FBI that it was "possible" (definite) Cheney instructed him to blow (TREASON IN OTHER COUNTRIES) Wilson's CIA undercover identity.
Waxman also noted that a letter from Mukasey to Bush dated Wednesday regarding the executive privilege stance "also raises questions (astonishment) about the president's involvement ... the documents being withheld summarize conversations held directly with the president (King of the U.S.)."
Both Mukasey and Nelson wrote that the White House has attempted to accommodate (make go away) Waxman's probe of the scandal by making available some FBI reports of interviews with senior White House staff and agency officials (cohorts in treasonous activities whereas in other countries you receive the death penalty, not here though, you retire with secret service protection).
"We are not prepared to make the same accommodation for reports of interviews with the president and the vice president," Nelson said. (although appointed and paid by, in theory, U.S. citizens)
