"WTF, CMS?"

After the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, affectionately known as CMS, proposed further cuts to physician reimbursement, my first reaction was "WTF, CMS!!!!"
Yet, was that criticism well placed?
To answer this question, I had a conversation with Dr. Rob Zipper, Chief Medical Officer for Advisory Services and Health Policy for Sound Physicians (full disclosure: Sound Physicians is my employer).
It was a great conversation, and I invite you to listen to it here:
To fix this problem, we need Congress to act. Please write your member of Congress and tell them that the CMS formula is unsustainable:
