Congress alone has the power to solve this problem.Medicare recipients and their doctors cannot wait any longer; Congress, we call on you to Fix Medicare Now. The current system fails the American people andmust be fixed if doctors are to continue seeingMedicare patients and seniors are tocontinue receiving the kind of highquality care they expect and deserve.

It is truly a sad state of affairs when a country as rich and powerful as the United States of America is willing to give billions of dollars to other countries and at the same time refuse to provide proper, adequate medical care to its own elderly and disabled citizens who have supported this country for their entire working lives. As a veteran on disability, one of my daily worries should not be is if my doctor can still afford to see me tomorrow. It is not time to celebrate the "Affordable Care Act"; it is time to fix Medicare NOW.
It's past time for our Congressional Leaders to step up to the plate and fix the Medicare reimbursement rate before irreparable harm is done to the recipients who need it the most. Failure to do so is detrimental to is irresponsible leadership and Americans must stand together and let their voices be heard!
please fix medicare now,we have worked,worked and worked,sick,in the rain snow,heat and cold,now that we're disabled to work,earn income,we need medicare ins.coverage.
Patches cost more in the long run than the fix itself. Please remove SGR from Medicare
On a fixed income. No way I can afford higher private insurance
We need Medicare as older adults especially since most of us are on a fixed income.

Doctors need to receive a fair amount per patient otherwise they will not see Medicare or tricare patients. Please support the new bills H.R. 1470 and S.810
