The following headline in today’s Fort Worth Star-Telegram made my head hurt:

Congress votes to override veto on bill rescinding reimbursement cut

Only a genius could make sense of this upon first reading. Me? I had to break it down, chronologically:

1. On 1 July, a rate cut for doctors who treat Medicare patients “kicked in.”

2. Legislation was introduced to rescind this rate cut.

3. President Bush vetoed the legislation.

4. Congress overrode the veto.

Now does it make sense?
