STOP THE MEDICARE MELTDOWN:
Physicians, Patients Launch Medicare Petition Drive to Congress

MSMS has joined a grassroots coalition with the other 49 state medical societies to launch a petition drive to gather one million signatures and share them with Congress and the president. The goal is to compel Congress to fix the flawed payment formula that threatens care for Michigan’s 1.4 million Medicare recipients, including senior citizens and people with disabilities, and more than 96,000 military family members covered by TRICARE.

MSMS asks you to sign the electronic petition, and then print/photocopy the Patient Flyer below to leave in your office so your patients will sign on, as well. Sign the online petition today>>
