Medicare home health care remains vulnerable to CMS' proposed payment cuts. Fortunately, Representatives Hern (R-OK) and Sewell (D-AL) have introduced a bipartisan bill to halt the harmful cuts for two years, ensuring fair updates to payment rates. To achieve success:

➡️ We must urge members of Congress to support the Home Health Stabilization Act of 2025 (H.R. 5142).
➡️ We also need legislators to co-sign Rep. Torres' letter to the White House, which calls for CMS to immediately reconsider the cuts and protect care access for America's most vulnerable citizens.

⌛ SPARE 1 MINUTE ⌛
Easily send a **pre-written letter** or tweet to the key decision-makers we need to influence on our advocacy page here:
