President Bush signs Medicare bill.

- Abstract
The article reports on a Medicare bill signed by U.S. President George W. Bush on December 29, 2007 which extends funding for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) through March 31, 2009. Accordingly, it temporarily prevents the scheduled 10.1% Medicare payment reduction faced by physicians in 2008. It states that the Senate Finance Committee kept the legislation narrow in scope in an effort to avoid controversy and ensure the president's signature before the end of the year.
