Like to mention we have a proposal improve the Small Business provisions of the Affordable Care act to try to both simplify and make the tax credits better for Small Businesses. That is feedback weve received. About that, and that is something that is included in our budget. Now turning to a couple i think, hopefully more substantive questions that i could get to with you, madam secretary, i was pleased to see the democratic chip reauthorization bill included in the president s budget extended medicaid primary care increase. Rate of increase was initially included in the aca is absolutely critical. For the last two years boosted payments to doctors treating most vulnerable populations making access achievable goal not just a tar get. The payment at end of last year will result in medicare provider payments cut on average of 43 . Over 50 in some states. Impact on wait times could be drastic and immediate. I was hoping madam secretary you could comment on importance of parity to medicare
Is availability. How do we insure stability for these Academic Medical Centers and patients they serve if we put gme funding at risk . We believe and hope that our proposal does not do that and meets the objectives of making sure we are training appropriate physicians for both primary care and specialties where we dont have as many as we should. At the same time, making sure we target it. There is 100 million for pediatric and a wider pool for competition. It is an issue we want to meet the same objectives in the same time and do it in a fiscally responsible way. Thank you. Mr. Guthrie, five minutes for questioning. Thank you, madam secretary, for coming. I look forward to the next years as vice chair. First directing your attention to the cost Share Reduction Program contained in the aca. Sections 1402 and 1412. Does any part of this budget that we are talking about today request any new authority including any transfer authority to pay insurers under the cost Share Reduction Program
