I en.oyed having the opportunity to speak with you personally about pulmonary rehabilitation legislation/ 0edicare physician payment reform/ the critical care workforce shortage/ and increasing federal funding for asthma research. )hese issues are of great concern to me as a physician and as a member of the 1merican 2ollege of 2hest %hysicians. 1s you are well aware( these continue to be uncertain times for the members of the health-care profession( and their patients. I urge you to provide full and uniform access to pulmonary rehabilitation for all 0edicare beneficiaries by including the pulmonary rehabilitation provision in the 2334 0edicare package and by becoming a cosponsor of /S8 <0=/"8R8 >>04( )he %ulmonary and 2ardiac Rehabilitation 1ct. )he 5ustainable 6rowth Rate also is fatally flawed and cannot be fi"ed. It must be replaced by a payment mechanism( such as the 0edicare #conomic Inde"( that accurately reflects medical practice costs going forward. In addition( I ask you to cosponsor /S8 ?@A+ "8R8 <AAB4( )he %atient-!ocused 2ritical 2are #nhancement( which is a first step to address a growing critical care workforce shortage( and /S8 0@?>+ "8R8<=CD4( )he !amily 1sthma 1ct( which would provide much-needed federal funding for asthma research. 7eeping current on these issues that affect the practice of medicine is vital. )herefore( the opportunity to continue an open dialogue with your office is very important to me. %lease know that I am available to you and your staff as a resource for information related to pulmonary( critical care( and sleep medicine. %lease feel free to contact me at any time. I look forward to continuing an open dialogue with you on these issues. 5incerely( /INS-RT SI;NATUR-4 /INS-RT NA5-4 /INS-RT A..R-SS4
