New ad campaign urges Congress to prevent pending Medicare cuts to hospitals and health systems

February 7, 2022

The Coalition to Protect America’s Health Care will launch a new TV ad urging Congress to act now to prevent pending Medicare cuts and ensure hospitals and health systems have the resources they need to care for their patients and communities.

In part, the ad says, “As Omicron patients flood hospitals, we face crushing workforce shortages...putting even more pressure on our front-line workers, and jeopardizing access to care.”

The Coalition will launch the TV ad nationally on Feb. 6, followed by digital ads and a social media push from the Coalition’s various channels. View the ad here.

Your ongoing advocacy is needed at this critical time. Please share the Coalition’s message and contact your lawmakers to advocate on behalf of America’s hospitals, health systems and their patients and communities.
