Fix 21% Medicare/TRICARE Cut Unless Congress changes current law, Medicare and TRICARE payments to doctors will be reduced 21% effective March 1, 2010. (The cut was originally scheduled for Jan. 1, but legislation approved in December deferred the effective date for 60 days.) Without relief, such dramatic payments cuts will cause many doctors to stop seeing Medicare and TRICARE patients. Please enter your informaiton below to send your legislators a MOAA-recommended message urging them to make this essential fix.

The news is filled with information, photos, and comment regarding the shootings at Fort Hood on Thursday, 5 November. This morning I was at Naval Station Mayport, FL for an appointment. In sight of the half-masted station flag, I paused in silence for the dead, the wounded, their families, our Soldiers, their leaders, and chaplain colleagues at Fort Hood.

On behalf of the Military Chaplains Association, National President Michael McCoy and I join with countless others in expressing condolences for the victims and their families. We especially mourn those who died. We ask the God of all consolation and tender mercies to bring comfort and strength for all who are touched by this tragedy.

Chaplain Gary Pollitt, MCA Executive Director
