AARP strongly supports the Children's Health and Medicare Protection (CHAMP) Act (H.R. 3162). This well-balanced, fiscally responsible legislation addresses several priority issues for AARP's nearly 39 million members and their families. The legislation provides needed assistance to low-income Medicare beneficiaries; helps to ensure that beneficiaries maintain access to physicians; protects beneficiaries from significant additional increases in the Part B premium; covers millions of children in working families that cannot afford health insurance on their own; and includes additional changes that will improve the quality and efficiency of our nation's health care system.
