A Doctors' Note On Medicare Page 2

Dear Fellow American –

There has been a lot of talk in Washington, DC in recent months about the future of the Medicare program.

Everyone agrees that Medicare is a critically important program providing needed health coverage for millions of Americans.

However, not everyone understands that the current Medicare program is on an unsustainable course.

Because the program is on a path toward bankruptcy in the near future, the status quo in Medicare is a threat to seniors’ care.

Therefore, the greatest threat to seniors’ Medicare benefits is not reform or change, but inaction.

In fact, Congress must change Medicare to save the program.

We believe Congress has a moral obligation to adopt common-sense changes to strengthen Medicare and protect seniors.

Medicare faces a number of different kinds of problems.

That’s why we are sharing with you our “doctors’ note” with a number of facts about the program.

Every American has a stake in the future of Medicare.

And every American deserves candor about the challenges the program faces.

We hope that this presentation will help further the conversation about the need to adopt bipartisan solutions.
