You have got to be kidding me. This is the first time I've heard of this clawback provision. If I'm getting this correctly, they decided to make the wealthier insureds to pay the wealthier doctors. These kind of things will make many people buy outside the exchange just to avoid the uncertainty of dealing with the government.
"Senate leaders have reached a tentative, one-year deal on the Medicare 'doc-fix,' sources close to the negotiations say. The deal pays for the must-pass patch to prevent a deep cut in Medicare doctors' payments with changes in the tax subsidy program that some consumers will use after 2014 to buy health insurance on the new exchanges
CQ Today reports, "Republican aides said the $19.2 billion proposal, which leaders tentatively plan to bring to the Senate floor Wednesday, would be paid for by changing how the government recoups overpayments of consumer subsidies." Notably, the "new health care law (PL 111-148, PL 111-152) will provide tax credits to people with incomes between 100 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level to help them buy health insurance in state-run markets, beginning in 2014. If a person misstates his income or if it changes, the subsidy recipient is supposed to repay part of the subsidy, up to $200 for an individual or $400 for a couple." This "agreement would raise those limits, although details were unavailable Monday
