Policymakers Detail Legislative Priorities Ahead of Midterm Elections

Every year, ASNC sends a delegation of advocates to Capitol Hill for meetings with policymakers about legislative priorities. Coming soon – details about ASNC’s 2027 Hill Day and how you can participate. 

Regardless of which party controls Congress after the Nov. 3 midterm elections, physician input will remain essential to advancing policies that strengthen the clinical workforce; support practice sustainability; and preserve patients’ access to timely, evidence-based care.

Key physician-focused legislative priorities for 2027 include –

• Preserving Private Practices: Promoting policies to curb industry consolidation
• Medical Liability Reform: Advancing federal tort reform, including caps on noneconomic damages modeled after California and Texas laws
• Prior Authorization and Administrative Relief: Reducing insurance-related regulatory burdens and streamlining Medicare reporting requirements
• Addressing Workforce Shortages: Making targeted investments in the clinical workforce
• Eliminating the $100,000 H-1B Program Fee
• Ending the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) prior authorization model in Traditional Medicare
