AMA continues to urge repeal of Medicare SGR

The AMA is once again calling on Congress to end the failed Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) payment formula, and to use projected spending that will not be needed, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down, to help pay for ensuring access to health care for military and seniors. Patients can contact their elected officials using the AMA's Patients' Action Network or by calling 1.888.434.6200. Please share with your patients. Physicians can reach out through the Physicians' Grassroots Network or by calling 1.800.833.6354.
