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.

Because the elderly need services more than the rest of us, they get sick more often and more seriously.

Cutting down on health care will only create a greater social crisis. You can't expect a sick society to be other than under-productive and thus more and more of a burden. It is actually more cost effective to make sure every one is healthy and in their best shape; it is better for both 'employers' and 'employees', students and teachers, doctors and patients, and everyone in between... |

As a healthcare provider and member of the pre-boomer generation, I urge you to stop the pay cuts planned and to enlarge coverage to include mid-level providers (NP's) at full reimbursement for equal provision of care.

Save health care, divert funds from an unnecessary war. Stop funding big business and oil cronies. Get a handle on pharmacies that use Universities for research and make huge profits from the people. There are a million places to get money for the needs of every man, woman, and child in the U.S. Shame on this country and this administration.
