WHAT: Press Conference
WHY: The AMA brings its Medicare "House Call" campaign to Ohio to draw attention to impending sharp Medicare cuts that will lead to an access to care problem for seniors. If Congress does not act, payments to physicians nationwide will be cut 26 percent - well below the cost of providing care. Ohio stands to lose $5 billion in federal funding, forcing physicians to limit the number of new Medicare patients in their practice.

WHERE: Parma Community General Hospital, 7007 Powers Blvd., Parma, OH 44129
