write medicare

more to follow, but please send a letter to your senator t force medicare to stand up and honor their 2006 agreement to cover the band, rny and ds.  Medicare has become a slow or no payer, and a  very low payer, to the point where these centers of excellence that they wanted may take less medicare patients. So, we must all rise up and act.  For more info visit the Obesity Action Coallition.org's website, join it as well, and read about medicare and what's going on now,  BEFORE the private carrier's follow suit and say hey we can cover WLS but we'll pay low so the docs wont do it. Thanks Gary for the info.  A sample letter will be on OAC or obesitylawyers website today Jon
