Bush vetoes Medicare bill
Posted: 01:48 PM ET
WASHINGTON (CNN) President Bush vetoed Tuesday a bill that would have halted a cut in Medicare payments to doctors. This bill is objectionable, the president said in a statement.
The Senate passed the measure which would reverse a 10.6 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors last week, after they voted 69-30 to end a GOP filibuster on it.
The vote was nine more than the 60 votes needed to pass the bill and two more than needed to override a presidential veto.
