Prevent
Sequestration
Cuts
The fiscal cliff package recently passed by Congress delayed the scheduled sequester cuts until March. If allowed to take effect, these cuts would cut Medicare payments by 2 percent and slash funding for the National Institutes of Health by approximately $2.5 billion or 8.2 percent. These cuts threaten thousands of jobs around the country and would severely impact the ability of the NIH to make progress toward life-saving research and new treatments for arthritis and rheumatic diseases.
Please use the ACR Legislative Action Center or the grassroots hotline 1-800-833-6354 to urge your members of Congress to protect access to care and funding for important medical research by rejecting the sequestration cuts.
