Dear Representatives Ruiz, Bucshon, Bera, and Miller-Meeks:

On behalf of the over 2.1 million members of AMAC, the Association of Mature American Citizens, I am writing to express our enthusiastic support for H.R. 2474, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act. As a non-partisan organization representing the interests of individuals aged 50 and above, we recognize the critical importance of ensuring the stability and effectiveness of Medicare, a program that provides vital healthcare coverage for millions of seniors.

H.R. 2474 represents a commendable bipartisan effort to address key issues within the Medicare program, aiming to improve patient access to quality care while supporting healthcare providers. The provisions outlined in this legislation demonstrate a thoughtful approach to enhancing Medicare’s sustainability and responsiveness to the needs of beneficiaries and healthcare professionals alike. H.R. 2474 aligns with our organization’s commitment to advocating for policies that prioritize the well-being of older adults and promote the long-term viability of Medicare for our members.

Thank you, for your bipartisan cooperation in this important matter. AMAC stands ready to support efforts to advance H.R. 2474 and other initiatives that uphold the health and well-being of older adults across the nation.

Sincerely,

Bob Carlstrom
President
