The 2024 Medicare pay cut is now 1.68% While partial relief is better than none, the current Medicare payment model isn't sustainable. Each year this cycle of cuts continues, access to care is threatened. Our patients deserve better. Let's #FixMedicareNow. spr.ly/6016X2R90
The only cure for Medicare payment mess is wholesale reform

The only cure for Medicare payment mess is wholesale reform

Congress again has failed to stop Medicare physician pay cuts. Comprehensive, long-term changes that protect patients’ access to care are long overdue.

The bill that sought to change SD law & remove physician oversight of PAs was defeated, a result of a collaborative, multispecialty effort, activating our grassroots networks to communicate to legislators why the bill would have negatively affected patient care. Thank you! #SDLeg

Question: How will South Dakota pay for Medicaid Expansion? Answer: Voting YES on Amendment D in November means you're voting to bring federal tax dollars we already pay back to our state to cover the cost of health care for 40,000 hardworking South Dakotans.
