Next Steps for HR 3630

Thank you for reaching out to your House member regarding HR 3630. On Monday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3630 and the bill now moves to the Senate where its fate is uncertain. It's possible that the Senate may take action on H.R. 3630 as soon as today or later this week. Please contact Senator Udall and Senator Bennet today and ask them to oppose HR 3630. Let our Senators know that the Medicare cuts in H.R. 3630, especially the bad debt and reduced reimbursements to PPS hospitals for hospital-based primary care physician practices will disproportionately impact rural providers. Addressing the Medicare SGR this month is essential  but not at the expense of rural communities.The President has already indicated that he will veto H.R. 3630 if it reaches his desk.
