Friendly Faces of M Power
Steven Molina, CPO/L, is the newest member of the M Power team!
Four fun facts about Steve...
1) Steve's hobbies include golf, watching movies, working on cars, and dominating his fantasy football league!
2) Big fan of ALL Dallas sports teams, especially the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers.
3) Enjoys cooking but can't follow a recipe to save his life. Must always deviate from the recipe to make it his own.
4) First met and worked with Amy Mehary in 2001. Amy had recently relocated to Dallas and Steve was a volunteer who worked on Fridays and Saturdays.
Send a letter to your Members of Congress to express your support of H.R. 1530/S.829 and H.R. 1526
An important new study conducted by Dr. Allen Dobson, health economist and former director of the Office of Research at CMS (then called the Health Care Financing Administration) shows that the Medicare program pays higher total health costs over the long-term when Medicare patients are not provided with prosthetic lower limbs, spinal orthotics, and hip/knee/ankle orthotics.
Please write to your Members of Congress to urge them to learn more about how Medicare can save money by providing high-quality care, and to endorse as a co-sponsor pending legislation H.R.1530/S.829 and H.R. 1526. CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR LETTER
