Baby Boomers Set to Lose Medicare Services! Sign the Letter to Congress
Target: U.S. CongressSponsored by: American Medical Association Patients' Action Netw
With over 3.2 million baby boomers becoming eligible for Medicare by 2010, doctor payment cuts will create a medical care crisis for America’s seniors! Congress made a solemn promise to America's seniors to supply more affordable medical care, but now they’re limiting seniors’ access to doctors, making it harder for them to get the care they need. If we don't act soon, older Americans will have a harder time finding medical and surgical specialists, and have to travel farther to see them. More Medicare patients will be forced go to expensive emergency rooms - not a doctor’s office - for routine care. And doctors will not be able to purchase new medical equipment and information technology. Urge your Senators to make good on their promise to older adults by saying no to Medicare pay cuts.

Don't we all deserved to be able to use a service we've been forced to pay into all our working lives! I for one could have put the money to better use. Perhaps, it could have gone for a private insurance plan which would take care of all my needs, but since we aren't given a choice, I want what I've paid for. Thanks

Some of you Senators and Congressmen have more benefits than the ones who should have them. Why not cut some of yours before you cut the ones that need it the most?

# 128:
Senators & Congressman should take cuts on all their benefits first.
# 127:
This is crap and it shouldn't even be a concern. the government borrowed the money and didn't pay it back as they said they would. I suggest congress and the senators take a pay cut and get it resolved. And get a handle on the raising costs of health care which has gotten to be outrageous.
# 126:
Senators, Make good on your promises to older adults by saying NO to Medicare pay cuts.
# 125:
Interesting that we have supported this program,with our dollars, since its inception and when we finally get to the point of needing its services, you will try to cut back. hmmmm.

I'm an RN & have no retirement, I hope for all the care I've given over the past 25 yrs that there will be something for me when I need help in my old age.

Our system is the harshest to the average person in the west. Why? Cash is required up front and inflation raises the premiums to unaffordability. We allow way too much spending on the war, "security", and contractors as well with little accountability.

If health cost keep going sky high, all the baby boomers will not be able to live on Social Security nor be able to retire at all. Where does that leave all the kids coming out of College. They will be without a job with millions of baby boomer holding on to the job until they die.
