Protect My Doctor and Me: March 1 Webinar

HELP MAKE IPAB REPEAL A REALITY

650+ stakeholder groups working to safeguard Medicare from potential IPAB cuts

Members of both political parties introduced legislation in Congress last week calling for the repeal of the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), a group of presidential appointees charged with making cuts to Medicare once the program reaches an arbitrary spending level, which experts agree will happen this year. To learn how you can add your voice and organizational support to IPAB opponents demanding repeal, register now for tomorrow’s Webinar, Wednesday, March 1st (2 p.m. ET).

On the Webinar, groups representing patients, doctors, and hospitals will provide an update on where legislation stands in Congress and what 650+ groups, as part of the Protect My Doctor and Me initiative, are doing to make sure IPAB is repealed immediately. Speakers will share easily customizable materials to help organizations play an active role in safeguarding Medicare.

Register today to learn more about how you can get involved.
