Senator: Reform starts by changing the way we pay physicians

Texas Sen. John Cornyn says that without immediate reforms to the way the government pays physicians under Medicare, Texas can expect a major decline in the number of physicians available and an ever higher spike in the cost of care. In this Op Ed piece in the Houston Chronicle, Cornyn says the country needs to change the way it pays physicians, and develop a system that provides incentives for reduced costs and quality care while protecting the eroded physician-patient relationship.
