 I don't follow health care policy closely.  I find it complicated, frustrating and often tedious.  
But being a sentient being who is somewhat attuned with the news in general, I've come across the scare stories about how doctors are poised to face a big pay cut because Congress hasn't yet attacked to kick them down the road yet (which to now have always been followed by Congress acting).
In other words, I was a little surprised that your story could have contained anything that was genuinely new to you.
