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!

We have spent hundreds of billions in Iraq; billions in the war on drugs while drug incarcaration is at an all time high; and billions in aid to unfriendly,oil rich countries and you the first thing always to get cut is already poor healthcare of our own citizens. THIS IS WRONG. Stop selling the well-being of US citizens to billion dollar industries greedy for more.

Our government can find billions to spend on an illegal war but not for health care of our most vulnerable citizens - our children the elderly. There is something terribly wrong here!

My congressman and senators support this, why don't you? Everyone in your constituency should protest your inaction.

This is of critical importance to all of us, and unlike many things it is something that the government can effect and should act on. We deserve first class access to first class affordable health care. Please do what you can to see that we get it. Thank you.

I have good health insurance. Yet my husband and I must spend thousands of dollars a year to ensure we remain healthy. How do you rationalize curtailing benefits?

As a recipient of Medicare I feel that Congress should STOP dipping into these programs as they did with the 1.1 trillion dollars that they`ve ~~BORROWED~~ from Social Security ,which we know will never be replaced.Fore going some of their pay raises would add alot of money to the coffers!!

You cannot have a strong country with a viable economy when so many of it's citizens cannot afford adequate health care.

I currently get medicare. I would be in huge trouble healthwise if I lost that coverage. the doctor's who accept medicare deserve to be paid fairly for their treatment and services.

What is wrong with this country? People in Europe have access to better health care than we do here in the U.S. Big-business and insurance companies should not be the determining factors in whether we receive adequate medical care. Our government's priorities are skewed. A nation is known by the way it treats its weakest members. Should our elders be ignored? This doesn't speak well of our nation.
