Now is the time for Congress to #StopTheFullCut by passing my bipartisan Supporting Medicare Providers Act to prevent Medicare reimbursement cuts from taking effect at the start of the new year.
🎶One of these things is not like the others (remember Sesame Street?). #Physicians face steep #Medicare cuts (despite record inflation) unless Congress acts to #StopTheFullCut!
See @AmerMedicalAssn chart showing the disparity between physician payments & ALL other providers 👇
