Important info

Hi NAPH friends,
There is an important issue right now about cuts in Medicare.  Unless Congress acts before Jan. 1, doctors will again face steep Medicare cuts that will affect seniors and disabled people.  This year it’s a 27.4 percent cut; last year it was a 20 percent cut.  If we can’t get the cuts stopped, we are at risk of having doctors turn away any patients who have Medicare insurance.  Please contact your legislators and ask them to stop the cuts to Medicare.  Thank you!
