No to reimbursement cuts

Medicare recipients had better pay attention to the bill before Congress that would reduce reimbursements to physicians by 21 percent. The perfectly predictable outcome of this reduction will be that it will be even harder to find a doctor who will accept new Medicare patients and many doctors, including my own, will be forced to reduce the number of Medicare patients they are currently caring for.

I urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to call Sens. Maria Cantwell (509) 353-2507 and Patty Murray (509) 624-9515, and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (509) 353-2374 to express your opposition.

  Ask yourself what good is done if all uninsured Americans are put on Medicare ala Obamacare? Well, lets see, they have an insurance card. Unfortunately Drs are already refusing to see patients who only have Medicare because of the ridiculous amounts the Government wants to pay them for providing healthcare.

  More Obama smoke and mirrors! Break out the Koolaid!
