"Stop the rise of medical co-payments charged to those of us covered by Medicare." How many of you can no longer seek medical attention for your health issues from your physician,due to this rise?
Why is this important?
My petition is about rising co-payments charged by physicians, or insurance companies, to Medicare patients. I am on social Security Disability, and as such receive a set monthly payment determined by the amount of social security taxes, that I have paid over the years. Because I have been receiving SSD for two years, was automatically placed on the Medicare insurance plan. The amount that I receive for SSD, assists me in paying my monthly bills. Due to me paying my bills, I have little left over for food, so am definitely unable to pay additional charges due to a rise in medical co-payments. Therefore, I am unable to continue to seek medical assistance for the dire health issues that were recently found by my physician. The rise in co-payments, must be stopped!
