Senators to President: Stop Medicare imaging cuts
A group of seven U.S. senators has urged President Barack Obama to reject calls for deeper Medicare cuts for medical imaging services. In a letter sent to the president on July 20, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Sen. Herbert Kohl (D-WI), Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), and four other colleagues expressed concern over cuts that “are stifling … medical innovation and leaving seniors and disabled Americans without access to the care they need to diagnose and treat life-threatening diseases such as heart disease and cancer.”
