Legislation introduced in Congress will blunt the dramatic changes in Medicare payments to hospitals resulting from the area wage index update. The legislation calls for the new index values to be phased in over the next two years instead of taking full effect on Oct. 1. However, the legislation will not alter the fact that hospitals in some market areas will be big winners, while those in other areas will be big losers.
国会提出的立法将缓和因地区工资指数更新而导致的医疗保险对医院支付的巨大变化。该立法要求新的指数值在未来两年内逐步实施，而不是在10月1日全面生效。然而，该立法不会改变这样一个事实，即一些市场地区的医院将成为大赢家，而其他地区的医院将成为大输家。
