Nearly missed this one

Swell.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Proposed cuts in Medicare payments for cancer drugs will be nearly double Bush administration estimates, potentially limiting access to care, according to a survey of cancer doctors.

Payments from the government for some drugs will not equal the cost to most doctors, the American Society of Clinical Oncology said Wednesday. It has lobbied to restore funding that would be cut under last year's Medicare prescription drug law.
Another fine example of the Bush Health Care Vision.
