21% MEDICARE CUT AVERTED FOR 30 DAYS ONLY
THE SGR FORMULA MUST BE FIXED--PLEASE ACT NOW
b |  | Congress has averted a 21 percent cut in Medicare payment just until the end of the month. If allowed, this cut will be devastating for family physicians and their elderly patients.
But the fix isn't just to keep postponing annual cuts. The SGR formula used to set the payment rate is flawed and needs to be re-worked NOW.
AAFP/PAFP need you to contact your representatives immediately and let them know the pending cut is unacceptable and the SGR formula must be fixed NOW!!!
To voice your opinion, please go to: AAFP Speak Out and send a message to Congress--This is NOT good for health care!
