Take a stand for veterans health care today Dear Donna, Our veterans have fought to protect this country, now Congress needs to protect their health care - TAKE ACTION! Americas military personnel, military retirees and their dependents receive health care through a program called TRICARE. And because TRICARE funding is controlled by Medicares sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula, which threatens drastic cuts to the program every year, we are playing a dangerous game with the health care of those who have sacrificed so much for our great nation. Applying temporary patches each year to keep the SGR from taking effect has only created uncertainty for TRICARE patients and their physicians. Our military families deserve a sense of security over their access to health care. Lets come together today - Veterans Day - and send a powerful message to Congress that it is time put an end to short-term fixes and find a permanent solution for the SGR problem to protect health care for military patients, veterans and their families. Click here to send an urgent message to your U.S. Representative and Senators and use our toll-free grassroots hotline - (888) 434-6200 - to be connected to their offices. Military veterans have fought for our country, now its time for Congress to fight for their health care. P.S. Want to help us take a stand on behalf of Americas Military families this Veterans Day? Please forward this email to five family members or friends and urge them to contact Congress today!
