This bill will save taxpayer money and reduce unnecessary medical procedures. Short term benefits are clear.

This bill is a complete disaster! It's outrageous that they are trying to push through this rule that will only hurt those who rely on Medicare for essential services. It's a blatant attack on the most vulnerable in our society, and I won't stand for it. We need to fight back against this injustice and protect our healthcare system for all Americans. #ProtectMedicare #HealthcareForAll
