Hello, I'm _____, a doctor / medical student from (city and state).

I am calling to ask Senator _____ to support H.R. 4213, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010. The bill temporarily fixes the Sustainable Growth Rate that caused a 21 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursement rates on June 1. It also provides a 2.2 percent update to physician payment rates for the rest of this year, and an additional 1 percent update for 2011.

A drastic reduction in the SGR affects my workers, my practice and my patients. For instance . . . (Insert personal story.)

Please ask Senator ______ to vote for H.R. 4213 so seniors and military families don't experience a disruption with their health care providers.

Can you tell me Senator _____'s position on H.R. 4213? Does s/he support permanently fixing the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR)?
