21 percent cut
to Medicare takes effect
As of midnight
last night, the current sustainable growth rate (SGR)
patch expired, meaning
the 21 percent cut to Medicare reimbursements is in effect.
Every day
that the U.S. Senate does not act puts more patients at risk of not
getting the care they deserve.
Last week, the
U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed bipartisan legislation
that would permanently repeal the SGR formula, but the Senate failed
to act before leaving on a two-week recess.
Let's make sure
Medicare reform finally gets across the finish line! Please contact
your senators today to remind them that they have unfinished
business here in Washington, D.C., and urge them to support H.R. 2
immediately when they return from recess!
- Call your senators using
the AMA's toll-free Grassroots Hotline: (888) 434-6200.
- Send an urgent email
to your senators reinforcing the need for SGR repeal now.
- Contact key senators
still undecided on this most critical issue directly through
their own social media channels and share with your own Facebook
friends and Twitter followers as well.
Your help in the
battle to end SGR and secure the promise of Medicare has brought us
this far, but we need your voice now more than ever. Please commit to
take action today!
