New media campaign urges Congress to protect patients

Dear Jon,

This week the American Medical Association unveiled a new media campaign urging Congress to protect patients' access to care.

Nationwide television and radio advertising send a clear message: Patients face drastic cuts in Medicare services unless Congress takes action to reform physician payment systems like the flawed sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula.

If not repealed, the SGR will hit Medicare physicians with a 30 percent cut on Jan. 1. Cuts of this magnitude would have a detrimental impact on patients' access to care.

JOIN THE SGR REPEAL CAMPAIGN TODAY!

Congress must hear from patient advocates in their districts. CLICK HERE to email your representative and senators, or you can place a phone call to them by using our toll-free grassroots hotline. Call (888) 434-6200 to be connected with their offices today. Tell them that eliminating the SGR is an essential element of any effort to reform Medicare. Urge them to promote the message that a repeal of the SGR should be part of any solution to address the budget deficit -- failure to act only leads to increased costs in the future.

P.S. Encourage your family and friends to be part of the SGR repeal campaign by joining the Patients' Action Network. Family and friends can also connect to the Patients' Action Network through our Facebook page and Twitter feed.
