‘When it’s finished, we will see what it is’

PELOSI: “We have been working on that. It’s something that has to happen. It’s not a Doc Fix, it’s a fix for America seniors so that they can continue to see their doctor under Medicare and some other priorities that expire soon, we wanted to be in advance of that. As you know, the SGR, as you call the Doc Fix, the SGR expires in just a matter of days.” ...

NN REPORTER: “On the Doc Fix deal, is your own Caucus behind it, supportive of it?”

PELOSI: “My Caucus is very enthusiastic about ending this whole discussion and uncertainty about the SGR that has existed for years.

When it is finished, we will see what it is, and then we will see who wants to vote for it or not.”
