I received an email yesterday from the American Medical Association. I am pasting it below. It relates to stopping the cuts in Medicare to patients and providers. This is extremely important for people who have received a transplant and are not able to go back to work immediately. Please sign up with the AMA to stay informed of this action. Also, take action with your local representatives!!
Dear Kelly:
As we mentioned in our last Medicare update, “the Medicare issue is still very much alive, but the situation will remain fluid and potentially change quickly.” Well, that prediction is coming true!
The U.S. House of Representatives plans to take up a bill tomorrow—on Tuesday, June 24—to stop the Medicare cuts that are coming on July 1.
Please call Representative Tiberi NOW and urge a YES vote on H.R. 6331, the “Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008.” Use our hotline at (888) 434-6200.
There is not enough time for e-mails—phone calls are the only way to make your voice heard in time!
If you’ve never called a congressional office before, check out our guide to “Communicating with Congress.” To see how the cuts will impact patients and physicians in your state, click here and pull down your state.
Thank you for your tireless work on this issue. Your participation in the Patients Action Network is very important and deeply appreciated!
