This is so simple to understand; even a chimp could do this. Get with it, Congress and Senate.

Please fix Medicare by developing a rational Medicare physician payment system that automatically keeps up with the cost of running a practice and is backed by a fair , stable funding formula.

Fix Medicare, doctors should be paid adequately for their treatment. Get with it ASAP

Janelle Sloan

One thing we have in the world is our great doctors and hospitals. Slowly this is deteriating. Thanks to congress. You are going to lose another great industry at this rate. Step it up not step it down!

Jose Santiago Rodriguez

I do not want loose my mediare venefits.

Jay Sharp

My wife and I both receive SSDI which is our only income. I have been on Medicare for 6 years and my wife will be shortly. We must depend on Medicare for our medical needs and we are scared that we will be unable to obtain basic health care before long if doctors reject Medicare patients because it doesn't make financial sense to treat them. Please help us!

Steve Galvan

It is time to do right by the people of this country. No more politics!

Marcia Rohrer

stop robbing Medicare. Seniors paid for that insurance, companies contributed for us. Now it's becoming a welfare system with our money, Obama stole 700 million fir Obama care, my doctors can't afford me anymore thanks to the changes Washington made.

Everett Parker

If every congressional representative was only given Medicare services, we would not have this problem,. This kind of blatant inequality between the people and their representatives is criminal and I mean criminal. When you are charged with making the rules and you end up creating rules that benefit you and screw the people, you become a criminal.

Margaret Parks

Be fair to the people who have spent their lives working in and for America, AND to the doctors who would like to continue caring for them!

Pat Lebeau

I want to continue seeing my present doctor. Congress should not be involved in this decision. What happened to people's rights?

Howard E. Roberts

Drain the swamp in 2016 Get government out of our health care. Put a cap on medical Law suits

People work all their lives, and it is inappropriate to have them end it with no medical care.

Jacobo Catalan

All people deserve a medical service which can be accesible and with the best quality.

Debbie Funderburk

Please on behalf of all medicare patients; let us choose the doctor we want and have been going too. We do not want the government choosing for us. We must fix the health care system but not take away the doctor/patient relationship. Please Congress do not forget about the American people. So much for helping everyone else who is not American; fix the crumbling foundation of our health care system. Americans voted for you all; it is time to care about Americans and do what is right. Please be our voice and listen to us.

Arvin and Frances Sooter

The medicare system has allowed seniors like us to have a selection of our own doctors. Do not change this.

Charles A. Albertson

older Americans need doctor access too. Charity care for young families might serve us better.

W.K. Shaw II

I'm on Medicare, as of 6/2/'2014; my internal medicine physician is well respected throughout the southeast; I support this petition on his behalf, without reservation!!

Frances k henady

Seniors deserve good care like any other person and perhaps more because of the aging patient. Please fix it.

Physicians have continuing high costs and should be fairly reimbursed.

JoAnn Moore

Take care of us seniors and let us make our decisions about which doctors WE choose to use for our care!

Andy A. Moore Jr.

DO NOT TAKE OUR DOCTORS AWAY AND PAY THEM LIKE THEY DESERVE TO BE PAID!

Hunter Meadows

WE DESERVE FREEDOM FROM GOVERNMENT! We must save the American Dream!

Pay the doctors what they deserve to be paid and let us choose our own doctors.

Cathy Olsen

My Doctors want to treat their patients! Please don't deny seniors their appropriate medical care. We paid into Medicare and Social Security and we deserve the money we paid into the system!!!!!

Linda June Faulkenberry

Pleas fix Medicare payment to physicians NOW!!!!!

This benefit is absolutely vital for myself and my husband. We would not be able to access medical care when having to pay large sums of money out of pocket.

Adriane Coffey

Please fix the system so I can choose my own Drs. And they can get a fair wage for their services.

Carl Bevell

Please fix the system, so it can be there for all in the future, working people have paid thousands each, to have this system...

Sandra Cremi

I want to keep my doctor and I want him to be allowed to treat me.

David Mordecai

Wrong direction Congress. Wrong group to victimize.

Crack down on generational welfare. Make people responsible for their own children if you can't afford them don't have them. People should take responsibility for themselves and their own family not government and tax payers. Not appropriate to take Medicare away from people who have worked to raise a family and give free health care to people who have lived off government for generations and expect it.

steve mendoza

Nice work

Patricia McClure

medicare patients need to be able to see the drs for their conditions don't take away any more benefits thanks

Millions of Americans depend on Medicare for quality health care. The program must not be dismantled!

Michael Manneback

Hands off Social Security unless you will expand benefits by raising the CAP. Hand off Medicare and Medicaid.

Alicia Dallago

We , senior citizens want our Medicare! Remember, we vote!

Mary Mele

Fix Medicare!

Edgar Moffitt

Medicare pays most doctors less than I have to pay for auto mechanic to work on my car (based on time spent for service). We really need attention given to repair our Medicare system. After all, we don't have any choice but to use Medicare. I pay an outrageous premium for a Supplemental policy to fill in gaps not covered by Medicare that are much to large. Quit penalizing our nation's elderly and doctors who take care of them. Fix our system. Government finds money for things they want to, find money to help us that worked, payed taxes, raised children - helped make our nation great.

My father absolutely depended on Medicare before he died; now my elderly mother does. Quality medical care with CHOICE of providers is essential for our senior population. Fix Medicare now.

Stephanie R Smith

I'm a Medicare recipient, as are my parents and grandfather. Access to the doctors that have been caring for us for years is desperately needed. In addition to multiple co-morbidities, I have to monitor a pituitary tumor that caused acromegaly. This is important to us a family for ongoing care.

Loretta Rice

David Mitchell

Fix our health care system. Quit putting this off.

Brian Edwards

Healthcare should not be about politics. We need a comprehensive medical plan that is not government run but adequately covers physicians costs and prevents insurance companies being charged a higher costs for its covered patients to offset non covered patients.

Teresa Edwards

This should not be about politics. We need a comprehensive medical plan that is not government run but adequately covers physicians costs and prevents insurance companies being charged a higher costs for its covered patients to offset non covered patients. Medicare patients need to be able to see the doc of their choice not just lesser skilled docs that will accept the unreasonable fee structure being imposed by Congress. Do the will of the people and work together to provide a bipartisan solution to Americans healthcare meltdown crisis.

When you retire you should not have limited options for your medical care, but it is occurring due to doctors limiting the number of Medicare patients. Aging patients in the US deserve excellent medical treatment and Congress needs to fix the Medicare problem.
