Dear Thelma,

The Independence Day celebrations are over and now it’s time for Congress to return to work. When you saw your senators and representative at the July 4 parades and picnics and spoke of your concern about the Medicare physician payment cuts scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1, 2007, you mentioned that:

Time is running out. If Congress doesn’t act before they adjourn in October, Medicare will slash what it pays my doctor by almost 5 percent.
An American Medical Association survey discovered that 45 percent of doctors will either stop accepting or decrease the number of new Medicare patients they accept.
If doctors are forced to downsize their practices it will make it harder for me to make an appointment.
These cuts make absolutely no sense as millions of Baby Boomers begin to retire.
It’s OK, Thelma, if you didn’t get a chance to speak to your members of Congress over the July 4 holiday, because you can call today using the AMA Patients’ Action Network toll-free hotline at 888-434-6200. Urge them to protect your family’s access to health care by stopping the physician payment cuts.
