reducing reimbursement doesnt mean the same thing as a salary cap. Lets say some doc is paid by capitation at 1200 dollars a patient, and they reduce it to 800 somehow. His income drops but he can get back to his old income simply by picking up more patients and taking less time per visit to see his patients and so on. A salary cap means that nobody can make more than a certain amount of money, which is not part of ANY politician's proposal, including the communist pygmies among them
