MarinesOfIndiana.com: Stop Medicare/TRICARE Payment Cuts

"Provide Leadership - Encourage Teamwork - Focus on Mission"

To grow our Marine Corps League in Indiana, we must "Provide Leadership" in our Detachments, "Encourage Teamwork" in our Detachments, and most of all "Focus on Mission" in all our Detachments.
Mission: Members of the Marine Corps League join together in camaraderie and fellowship for the purpose of preserving the traditions and promoting the interests of the United States Marine Corps, banding together those who are now serving in the United States Marine Corps and those who have been honorably discharged from that service that they may effectively promote the ideals of American freedom and democracy, voluntarily aiding and rendering assistance to all Marines, FMF Corpsmen and former Marines and FMF Corpsmen and to their widows and orphans; and to perpetuate the history of the United States Marine Corps and by fitting acts to observe the anniversaries of historical occasions of particular interest to Marines.

Stop Medicare/TRICARE Payment Cuts

Scuttlebutt from Indy Devil Dog at 14:33

Unless Congress acts soon, Medicare and TRICARE payments to doctors will be cut by 10.6% in July of 2008. That will hurt military families' access to health care by causing more doctors to stop seeing Medicare and TRICARE patients.

In addition to cutting payments to doctors, hundreds of thousands of Medicare patients will lose coverage for their physical, speech, or occupational therapy unless Congress fixes the Medicare law within the next two weeks.

ACTION NOW, FOLLOW THIS LINK TO LET YOUR CONGRESSMAN KNOW WHAT YOU THINK:
