Congress Overrides Veto:
The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 Becomes Law
Both the Senate and the House of Representatives voted on Tuesday, July 15, 2008, to override the presidential veto of H.R. 6331, the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008. In addition to staving off cuts in Medicare reimbursement to physicians, the Act also makes modest improvements for Medicare beneficiaries.
