Limit Patients' Access to Health Care? Help Stop Cuts to Medicare!
Target: U.S. CongressSponsored by: AMA Patients' Action Network
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 the government would stop using Medicare money for things other than Medicare then we would not have to worry and we could pay the doctors and be sure that medicare would be availible for some time.
Do not cut Medicare. Americans need affordable and accessible healthcare.
If Medicare cuts go through, our medical group has decided to discontinue care to all Medicare beneficiaries. We have been a community family practice for 15 years, and although we are very busy, we are barely surviving in todays low-reimbursement economy. Medicare cuts would be the last straw for us.
My husband (before his death) & I paid taxes & Social Security for many many years. In my remaining years, I would like to continue to help my family. My health care team, Bond Clinic, is sharp & watches their costs carefully, but are in jepardy unless you help preserve Medicare.
