Medicare official Thomas Scully warned at a luncheon in Iowa City that simply increasing funding will not end entrenched inequities in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements. He said the programs are large and flawed and require hard look at problems and practical fixes for rural providers. He noted federal budgets seek $190 billion for Medicare and Rep. Jim Nussle pushes for $350 billion, while progress on rural reimbursements remains tied to accountability from leaders.
