Hi Jane, Many doctors report that more Medicare patients are now treated in emergency rooms for conditions that could easily be treated in a physician's office. And it's gotten a lot harder to refer patients to medical and surgical specialists. The reason? Medicare payment cuts. Tell Congress to pass a solution to Medicare's fatally flawed payment system. » For years, Congress has enacted Band-Aid fix after Band-Aid fix to delay payment cuts to doctors who serve Medicare patients. But with a floundering economy and a record number of baby boomers entering their golden years, our country is facing an imminent health care crisis. Medicare is too important, and health care reform efforts must also include Medicare reform. Tell Congress we don't need another Band-Aid fix for medicare -- now is the time for a real, permanent solution. » Thanks for taking action! Samer ThePetitionSite Let's Find a Lasting Solution to Medicare Sixty percent of all doctors say a Medicare cut will force them to decrease or stop seeing new patients and to discontinue nursing home visits.
