The number of co-sponsors of HR 5704, the Access to Medicare Imaging Act of 2006, has reached 60 as 18 more members of Congress agreed that imaging cuts contained in last year's Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) need to be thoroughly reviewed before they are implemented.

ACR thanks all the cosponsors of HR 5704 for their commitment to ensuring that Medicare beneficiaries continue to have timely access to medical imaging services. A list of the new cosponsors is below.
