Upcoming Senate Vote: Say Yes to Medicare Reform!
In the coming week, the Senate will consider a bill that would eliminate Medicare cuts and protect access to high-quality care for you and your family.
If the proposed 20 percent cut in Medicare physician payments is allowed to happen in 2010, it may become more difficult for older Americans to find a doctor.
Fortunately, there is a bill - S. 1776 - that can help. This bill would not only stop the upcoming Medicare cuts, it also would help to make sure that doctors can continue caring for Medicare patients. It would preserve seniors' access to care and starts us down the path of real Medicare reform.
Your help is essential if we are to prevent these cuts and others that will come in future years. Sign the petition letter encouraging your senators to support you and your doctor. Urge them to vote Yes on S. 1776.
Dear Senator [Name],
I am writing you today to express my support for S. 1776.
If the 20 percent cut in Medicare physician payments is allowed to happen next year, it may become more difficult for patients to find a doctor. And many doctors report that more Medicare patients are now being treated in emergency rooms for conditions that could have been treated in a physician's office, that it's gotten harder to refer patients to certain medical and surgical specialists and that many seniors now have to travel further for needed medical care.
S. 1776 eliminates the flawed Medicare payment system and preserves seniors access to care.

Please do what's right for America by voting Yes on S. 1776.
