I love how every time I receive a communication from my legislators it is to 1. Not address the issue I raised 2. Point the finger at another committee 3. State how everyone ended up voting, so it's fine. No, no it's not fine.

“Congress has failed physicians, and Medicare patients will pay the price. The window to reverse this reckless decision is rapidly closing. Lawmakers must explain why protecting access to quality health care is not a priority or how they plan to fix it.” spr.ly/601406eKg
