As Congress examines ways
to reduce the federal deficit, the American Health Care
Association (AHCA) is working to ensure federal and
state lawmakers understand the vital need to preserve,
seniors' access to quality care. The association is
also educating consumers about their options for caring
for elderly or disabled loved ones.
AHCA spokesperson Claire
Navaro describes the impact of billions of dollars in
cuts from health care reform and deficit reduction.
(NAVARO)
CUTS TO MEDICARE AND MEDICAID
WILL LIMIT ACCESS TO NURSING CARE FACILITIES FOR SENIORS
AND THE DISABLED. THESE FACILITIES ARE PART OF THE FABRIC
OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO LOCAL
JOB CREATION. WE ARE CALLING ON CITIZENS TO TALK TO
THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DURING THIS RECESS - TELL
THEM TO PROTECT MEDICARE AND MEDICAID FUNDING.

For consumer information
about long term health care, a new, free consumer web
site is available at www.careconversations.org.
