Recent changes to Medicare are jeopardizing access to critical drugs and therapies at local clinics like ours. But a new bipartisan bill before Congress would prevent patients from having to disrupt or delay life-saving care.

When a patient’s health insurance influences the care he or she receives more than the patient’s own physician, does the patient get real-time access to the best treatment for their condition in the most appropriate care delivery setting?
