Next week members of Congress will be home for their "July 4 break" to meet with, and listen to, their constituents. This is a great opportunity for you to remind them about unfinished work on important health care issues that will affect patients' access to critical care this year and beyond.
This Congress, lawmakers have taken serious steps toward repealing Medicare's flawed sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula. This formula is hurting physicians and patients by annually threatening payment cuts that will impact a patients' choice of physician and access to the care that they need. Unfortunately, this bipartisan legislation has stalled. We need you to remind Congress how important passing a permanent SGR repeal is to protect and preserve our Medicare system! _Send an email_ (https://www.votervoice.net/link/target/pan/JFEb28zbb.aspx) , or call Congress today at (888) 434-6200. You will be connected with the district office for your representative and senators. Urge your lawmakers to continue working in a bipartisan manner to protect Medicare and seniors' choice of physician by repealing the flawed Medicare SGR formula this year. The current Medicare system is broken. Real reform that will transform the program into an effective, 21st-century model of care is achievable this year, but it cannot be built on the crumbling foundation of Medicare's SGR formula. Take advantage of this time when your members of Congress are back at home: _Email_ (https://www.votervoice.net/link/target/pan/JFEb28zbb.aspx) or call (888) 434-6200 to be connected with their district offices and tell them to continue working together to repeal the SGR. ____________________________________ Take Action Want to contact Congress? _Send an email_ (https://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/374020.aspx) or call toll-free at (888) 434-6200.
