The Medicare/TRICARE cuts for doctors that go into effect today need to be addressed by our elected officials as soon as possible. These are going to affect every one of us.

By cutting money for the program, the federal government will be cutting services to those of us who receive Medicare/TRICARE.

E-mail, phone and, for those who live in an area where elected representatives have an office, stop in and express your feelings.

If you feel you don't need to take action and your doctor tells you he can't help you, look in the mirror and blame that person.
