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!

We signed the “Limit Patients' Access to Health Care? Help Stop Cuts to Medicare!” petition!

I am just around the corner from retirement age and I am diabetic. Denying access to a physician could lead to serious problems. I need to get a mammogram because of cancer in the family. How about we take away the pensions of those serving in Congress and White House? Some don't have to serve more than one term and still they get a pension. Taxes at work!!!!!

Health care is crucial to all citizens, and something that should be provided to all through the instrument of our government. Thank you in advance for doing the right thing.

Older citizens should not be faced with poverty at a time when they can no longer work and have supported the government through taxes most all of our lives! You Government officials get all kinds of medical benefits and yet those in private industry who have paid taxes, get no medical benefits when we retire!

Work for the best benefit of the people who Trusted you with the office... the vote did not make you better than the people who put you there. Should their government paid insurance be inferior to yours?

Please do not cut doctor payments as everything else is rising & reimbursements should, at least, remain the same. Thank you.
