Speak Out: Tell Others

Heart disease is the number one killer in America — claiming more lives each year than cancer, accidents and diabetes combined. And the looming cuts to vital cardiovascular services are sure to make these numbers climb even higher. Most patients, particularly those on Medicare, cannot afford to find a new doctor. They also cannot shoulder higher co-payments, or make extra trips to the hospital — both of which will result from these devastating changes.

Your involvement is crucial to safeguarding patients' access to cardiovascular care!
