Tom, what is your source? One year ago this month the Senate passed an FAA re authorization bill that did have the exclusion for MA and the House passed one that did not. It is my understanding, and the AMA's, that the version that came out of the joint subcommittee and sent to the House and Senate this week does contain it. It would be highly unlikely that what the House approved yesterday was modified from what the sub committee sent to both houses for a vote.
