Subject: Urge Group Members to Tell Congress that Sequestration Cuts Will Harm the Nation’s Health
Colleagues, I hope you will join us in asking your members to use the AAMC’s fully-automated, “single-click” on-line advocacy tool to send emails to their Members of Congress expressing serious concerns about the impact of pending sequestration (across-the-board cuts in federal spending) mandated by the Budget Control Act (BCA) and effective January 1, 2013. As you may know, these cuts would reduce federal support for Medicare GME, NIH research grants, primary care and diversity development programs, and other programs that are important to academic medicine.
At http://www.capwiz.com/aamc/, constituents will find three letters they can quickly sign and send to Congress simply by entering their name and home address. They should use personal emails and computers (i eNOT work emails and institutional computers) to send these messages.
The letters address: looming cuts to Medicare payments and GME support; NIH research funding; and primary care and diversity workforce development programs. All the letters urge Congress to work on a solution that avoids sequestration and the devastating impact across-the-board cuts will have on programs that benefit all Americans.
