Provisions of the Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Act (S 329) have been added to a Senate Medicare package and AARC members need to write now to voice their support. AARC wants to ensure that the House Medicare package also includes this very important provision. The message from the AARC is that:  Now is the time to act to exert influence over your members of the House and Senate to ensure patient access to care.

Please visit the AARC website for more information and to send your email to your members of Congress:     http://capwiz.com/aarc/callalert/index.tt?alertid=11495881
