New Medicare Demonstration Risks Seniors Access to Medicines
The Facts:
The Majority of Seniors
say doctors and patients should decide on courses of treatment without government interference.
With no vote of Congress, Medicare officials have decided to cut what they will pay for the Part B medicines. This experiment in Medicare reimbursement rates means more Seniors will have to travel for treatment, or not be able to get the medicine their doctor ordered.
“We believe that this type of initiative ... will adversely affect the care and treatment of Medicare patients with complex conditions, such as cancer, macular degeneration, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and primary immunodeficiency diseases.”
— Quote from the letter to Congress from over 300 patient groups opposing Medicare Experiment
America’s Seniors Deserve Better
Tell Congress to Protect Medicare and Stop the Part B Demonstration.
Your doctor, not an unelected bureaucrat, should be in charge of choosing the best Medicine for you.
