Congress has failed to address Medicare reimbursement—again. First, in the end-of-year spending package. Now, in the newly passed House budget package. Meanwhile, patients and physicians are already feeling the consequences. Decreased reimbursement for physicians means patients are struggling to access quality healthcare.
But there’s still a path forward—if lawmakers act.
H.R. 879 contains critical language that must be incorporated into a larger bill. And thanks to advocates like you, momentum is growing. Every day, more Representatives are signing on as cosponsors.
Now, we need to turn up the pressure.
🚨 Less than 3% of lawmakers have a background in medicine. They may have good intentions, but they don’t know what they don’t know. It’s up to us to bridge that gap—ensuring they understand the real-world impact of their decisions and empowering them to create meaningful healthcare policy.
⚠️ Take action today! Contact your Senators and Representative and tell them to cosponsor and support H.R. 879. Even better—make a phone call using our Legislative Phone Call Script.
📢 Email and call your lawmakers NOW.
On February 27, Rep. Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) publicly urged patients and physicians to call their lawmakers and demand action. In his words, "It is now or never."
