What do the Medicare physician cuts mean to me?

Severe Medicare cuts in 2008 and beyond threaten your family's access to doctors.  Here’s how:

• In an AMA survey, more than half of all doctors said a Medicare cut will force them to decrease or stop seeing new patients and to discontinue nursing home visits.
• A majority of doctors in rural communities said they would no longer be able to conduct important outreach services due to nine years of projected cuts in this same survey.
• Nearly three out of four doctors said the Medicare cuts will force them to delay purchasing critical new medical equipment.
• Also, nearly 65% of doctors reported that the Medicare cuts will force them to delay purchase of new health care technology.
• It’s gotten harder for doctors to refer patients to certain medical and surgical specialists, and that many seniors now have to travel further for needed medical care.

Americans deserve better. We are asking the U.S. House and Senate to permanently reform Medicare and stop future cuts -- but Congress won't act until you do!
