Support the Medicare Secondary Payer Enhancement Act 

The Medicare Secondary Payer Act is riddled with inefficiency. HR 4796, the Medicare Secondary Payer Enhancement Act would correct this problem by requiring the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) to respond to requests for their lien amount within 60 days. Self-funded by a $30 application fee, this bill costs the taxpayers nothing, and it has the broad support of coalitions including the National Retail Federation and Allstate Insurance. 

You can help move this important legislation towards passage by asking your Member of Congress to cosponsor HR 4796.

Fight for the Medical Device Safety Act!

The Supreme Court's decision in Riegel v. Medtronic had the effect of giving complete immunity to medical device manufacturers. Now people injured through no fault of their own can't hold the manufacturer accountable. Many are forced onto Medicare or Medicaid and it is estimated that taxpayers will be on the hook for over $1 billion to cover the their healthcare. This is unfair on many levels. Tell Congress to stop stalling and fix this by passing HR 1346/S 540, the Medical Device Safety Act.
