The SGR Reform and the Childrens Health Insurance Reauthorization Act has finally crossed the U.S. Senate and passed after a decade of exhausting debates. This extremely important passage disrupts the original SRG outline which has held back a plethora of issues including payment plans and physician involvement in regards to determining how much input they are able to contribute on quality. While the SGR repeal will stand as an example of the effect that group effort maintains, it will also allow for there to be new discourse on other healthcare issues.

HR 4302 patches SGR for another calendar year, but provides not permanent fixes.
