House Passes Legislation to Delay Medicare Fee Cuts; Senate Must Act Before 21 Percent Reduction Can Be Averted

On Wednesday, Dec. 16, as part of the FY 2010 Defense appropriations bill, the House of Representatives passed legislation that would delay the 21 percent Medicare fee cuts until March 2010.  The Senate has yet to vote on this bill.  We urge members to contact your senators today, to ask them to stop the 21 percent Medicare fee cuts for 2010.  The Senate is expected to take a vote on this bill in the next few days, so your immediate action is needed.  Please visit the ACA Legislative Action Center  where you can create an e-mail message quickly and easily to send to your senators to tell them to block the implementation of these drastic fee cuts. A template e-mail is included at the Action Center.
