A bill aimed at awarding a 30% pay raise to public hospital doctors was rejected during a Senate session yesterday. In all, 19 Senators voted against the bill while 8 voted in favor. The money for the 30% hike was to have been derived from taxes on medical plan administrators (ARS), checks and sports betting houses.
