By: Patty Murray

Issues: Senior Citizens Entitlements and the Safety Net Health Insurance

Issue Position: Medicare

Senator Murray is working to address the health care challenges that are impacting our state, including problems related to Medicare.

Currently Medicare reimbursement rates penalize patients and providers in our state.

Because Washington state has a tradition of efficient healthcare and healthy seniors, Washington doctors and providers are reimbursed at a dramatically lower rate than other states.

Working with patients, doctors, nurses and others, Senator Murray has introduced the Medi-Fair Act S. 2568 which would ensure that seniors in Washington state receive the national average reimbursements per beneficiary.
