On January 1, 2010 Medicare physician payments are scheduled to be cut by more than 20 percent. While Congress is committed to passing health system reform this year, it is critical that your representative realize that real health system reform means repealing the flawed Medicare payment system.

Bill H.R. 3961 does just that. It repeals the SGR. It wipes the slate clean. It lays a solid foundation from which health reform can be built for success from the start.

Tell Congress to live up to the commitment to preserve access to high-quality health care for America’s seniors and military families. Tell your representative to support H.R. 3961. Use our hotline at (888) 434-6200.
