Baby Boomers Set to Lose Medicare Services! Sign the Letter to Congress
Target: U.S. CongressSponsored by: AMA Patients' Action Network
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.

If we saw ourselves as one big family with God, then perhaps we would care for another's grandmother as much as we care for ours. Again, do unto others, I say. Get down to the compassionate heart. God bless you all!

This definitely affects me. I am disabled and depending on Social Security. It's hard enough to just scrape by now.

Don't we take care of our own anymore? We are more than willing to help anyone else who isn't American.

This is just common sense. Medicare pay cuts could become the equivalent of a death sentence for seniors. Why let this happen?
