In Reply: I appreciate Dr Singer's comments and agree that changes in Congress have occurred between the time that the news article was written and the time that it appeared in print. Congress has temporarily put a stop to cuts on radiotherapy reimbursements. It is unclear whether additional extensions or other actions will occur this summer.

Financial Disclosures: None reported.
