Passage of this legislation was critical for Kansans as it allows hospitals, doctors, physical therapists and pharmacists to continue serving the more than 114,000 Medicare recipients in the First District. I was joined at the Senior Center by David Wilson, president of AARP Kansas; Dr. Michael Machen of Quinter, president of the Kansas Society of Health System Pharmacists; Jim Rorstrom of Hays; Fred Lucky, with the Kansas Hospital Association; and Dave Sanderson of Salina, with the Kansas Physical Therapy Association. These experts were able to explain to folks how the legislation affected their profession and answered questions about what the new law means for Medicare recipients. Also discussed during the event was the AARP "Divided We Fail Pledge."
