Senate may roll back 10 percent Medicare fee cut for MDs

Hi I am a pharmacist and proud. I read how the senate is not allowing a 10 percent cut on doctors fee's just gets me mad. The fee paid to pharmacies on Medicare part D is siply a joke. When we bill a 3 month supply of medications for a senior our profit is only 1-3 dollars now how can you cover your overhead for a pharmacy owner. Senate should stop attacking pharmacy in general and try to get the Big PBM's to take a similar approach; I dont believe they will stand for that!
Thank you for your time,
