Limit Patients' Access to Health Care? Help Stop Cuts to Medicare!
Target: U.S. CongressSponsored by: American Medical Association Patients' Action Netw
The future for patients’ access to health care is bleak.
While millions of baby boomers are about to retire and swell Medicare’s ranks, the government is cutting patients access to Medicare. It makes no sense. You have spent years paying taxes and paying into social security. Now insurance companies want to cut your benefits to line their own pockets.
Past Medicare cuts have made it more difficult for patients to find a doctor. Future doctor payment cuts will force doctors to limit the number of new Medicare patients they treat, will make it more difficult to find surgical and medical specialists and will force seniors to travel greater distances for medical care.
Now is your chance to protect yourself and your family — the future of your health is in your hands.
Tell Washington bigwigs to stop playing politics with your health care. Sign the petition to Congress today!

If you can afford the war in Iraq, you can afford to extend Medicare not cut it. Why should HIV/AIDS patients without children NOT be covered by Medicare when peoplelwho are HIV positive/AIDS WITH children ARE covered? Cover everyone with that disability. Its the same disease. If you want to eradicate more cases of new infection ALL HIV sufferers must be covered! Stop the idiotic discrimination.

The people should not have to suffer in the richest country in the world, because of mismanagement and incompetence in government. Please protect Medicare!

It amazes me how little we seem to care about the people in our own country. We can give billions in aid to foreign countries,yet our government chooses to not care for those in our own country who need it the most. We need to start helping the people here first, then if we have left over money help the other countries.

You can vote to spend billions on war, but you can't protect the health of American citizens and their families. You are all operating from the wrong priorities and should be ashamed of yourselves -- all of you!

This ia America... It's 2007.... We can't find a way to take care of our own citizens first? Health care is being determined by financial and social status and people are left out, but yet we critisize others for how they treat their citizens?
