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.

We signed the “Baby Boomers Set to Lose Medicare Services! Sign the Letter to Congress” petition!

It is civilized to honor the elderly and not limit the medical care they receive, when they need it the most.

Another example of our elected officials' lack of interest in keeping commitments made for healthcare services to older citizens. Of course, we pay taxes which they have used to provide THEIR OWN healthcare services. They should all be publicly shamed and then fired.

Stripping those in need of help is immoral. Stop the war and provide health care!

Health care for the elderly should be one of the priorities of a democracy. The USA should be renowned for the care of its citizens and not for aggession, occupation and conflict.

I work very hard at diet and execise to control the need for expensive health care. I fed up with price gouging and limited access while paying taxes for everyone else

Why should Health Care be a top priority for Congressional overhaul? Too many friends and relatives have died because they coudn't afford adequate health insurance in their earlier years. Who was it said you judge a civilization by how it treats its helpless and elderly?

Congress must fully support health care for the elderly! Cut war spending, not health for our citizens.
