PATIENTS ACTION NETWORK..... This is an urgent action alert from the American Medical Associations Patients Action Network: Sometime before noon on Thursday, March 27, we expect there to be a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives with serious consequences for Medicare patients and their doctors. H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, would actually serve to threaten Medicares stability. This bill attempts to address the fatally flawed physician payment formula known as the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) with a temporary patch instead of full repeal and in doing so, will derail bipartisan efforts to move toward a Medicare program that supports physicians for providing high-quality patient-centered health care. It is URGENT that you contact your U.S. Representative right away and urge them to vote NO on this temporary SGR patch legislation. Use the AMAs toll-free Grassroots Hotline at 1-888-434-6200 to deliver this critical message before its too late! Theres still time for Congress to return to the bipartisan process that advanced legislation to permanently repeal the SGR, and to finally push this legislation over the finish line! But first they must reject the flawed approach that HR 4302 takes with a temporary patch that will only make permanent repeal harder. Please call 1-888-434-6200 now and send your U.S. Representative an urgent email in advance of the vote by clicking here.
