New Alliance Calls for Repeal of Provisions
in 2003 Medicare Law
Proposed six-part plan aims to reverse damage
and preserve Medicare
A group of the nation's leading professional, health advocacy and other concerned organizations have
formed a new alliance to secure Congressional support for the reversal of the harmful provisions of the 2003 Medicare
Modernization Act (MMA). The Alliance to Restore Medicare (ARM) views the MMA as severely undermining traditional Medicare,
endangering not only the survival of that program but also the political viability of a social insurance model for universal
health coverage. ARM members have drafted "A Call for Action to Restore and Ensure Medicare's Health," a six-part plan
that will be submitted to Congress and the new President.
