Save Medicare

How Can You Get Involved in CMA's Grassroots Effort
to Halt 26% Medicare Cut?

  1. Download CMA's "Save Medicare" poster and display in your office.
     
  2. Contact lawmakers and tell them that they must act now! Just call 800/833-6354 and plug in your zip code and your call will automatically be forwarded to your Representative's office. Tell them:
    • Stop the Medicare physician payment cuts.
    • Be fair to physicians. Institute a cost-of-living increase for physicians of 2.7 percent. All other Medicare providers have already been granted increases for 2006.

      Physicians: -4.4 percent
      Health Plans: +4.8 percent
      Home Health: +3.3 percent
      Hospitals: +3.7 percent
      Nursing Homes: +2.7 percent
