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!

I've been paying into that dam fund for so long now, I hate to think that someday I may need this service and all my taxes paid will be for naught... and I'll be SOL!

Our healthcare system is in dire need of reform as many citizens can barely afford the care they need...please do not jeopardize the health of Medicare patients.

Its not fair to cut access to medical care for people who have a right to it just like their parents.

I know theres a budget, but Medicare has been cut to the bone previous to this , many, many, many times. Most are on a fixed income at this point, and need easy access to Doctors. Between cost and complications some will nevergo for help. We could learn from Mexico and Japan about how to honor our elders.
