Similarly, the proposed cuts in payments to providers of services to Medicare patients are unlikely to receive the necessary Congressional support in future years, especially if it turns out that doing so would reduce the volume of services, rather than just providers’ incomes. There is a long history of legislating such spending cuts, only to reverse them in subsequent years.
同样，拟议中付给Medicare医疗服务机构费用的缩减不大可能在未来得到必要的国会支持，特别是当事实证明这样做将缩减服务的数量，而不只缩减服务机构的收入。立法缩减开支已经有了很长的历史，但不过持续几年光景就又开始重蹈覆辙。
