LEGISLATIVE ALERT: Contact Congress Re Medicare Cuts

Tuesday, February 20, 2024   (0 Comments)

Congress is Drafting Legislation on Medicare Cuts. Contact Congress Now!
Time is of the essence to contact your representative and senators about the Medicare cuts that went into effect on Jan. 1. The House of Representatives will be leaving Washington, D.C., for a two-week break on Friday, Feb. 9, and the Senate left a week earlier for their two-week break. 

As we speak, Congress is drafting legislation that will fund the government for the rest of the 2024 fiscal year. Let Congress know the March spending bill must include H.R. 6683, which would provide additional funding to health care providers to offset the Medicare cuts.
Even if you sent a letter before, please send another one or call your representative and senators using the below phone script. It only takes a few minutes to send a letter or call, and your voice does make an impact. 

We cannot let up our pressure on Congress. There is too much at stake to not raise your voice. Read more: https://www.apta.org/advocacy/take-action/patient-action-center?vvsrc=%2fCampaigns%2f111646%2fRespond
