Legislation to Delay Medicare Sequestration Signed by President
 |
President Joe Biden has signed legislation that will delay a 2% across-the-board cut in Medicare payments for the rest of calendar year 2021. The bill was passed Tuesday night by the U.S. House of Representatives, having been passed by the Senate in March. CHA had been advocating for the delay in communications to the Connecticut congressional delegation. The measure represents another piece of relief from the financial challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The planned cuts were part of an automatic annual budget cut that took effect in 2013, which Congress paused last year in response to the pandemic. |
