Our Mission
Medicare represents a promise made to Americans that they will have access to quality affordable health care as they age or if they become disabled. The Partnership to Protect Medicare formed in 2011 to make sure that promise is kept for those Medicare beneficiaries who rely on life changing treatments and cures delivered through Medicare Part B.
Supported by patient advocacy organizations, medical providers and leaders in the health care industry, our mission is to fight cuts proposed in Washington that will reduce, and in some cases eliminate, access to critical care for some of Medicare’s most vulnerable patients. Through a variety of advocacy efforts, we seek to call attention to the impact of cuts to Medicare Part B on beneficiaries and to protect this vital program from additional funding cuts.
