Don't let Congress force doctors out of Medicare

If Congress doesn't act soon, Medicare patients could lose access to the doctors they know and trust.

It's unacceptable that these patients could lose access to their doctors because of a drastic 25% pay cut.


Your senators need to know we're counting on them to fix this issue before they leave for their December recess.

Call 1-800-488-7139 TODAY and tell your U.S. senators to stop these drastic cuts that will put Medicare patients' health at risk.

Calling is easy, and you don't need to be an expert - elected officials need to hear from everyday Americans like you. Here's how to make your call:

  • Dial 1-800-488-7139, and follow the prompts to enter your zip code. Then press "1" to connect to your first senator's office.
