Following ASNC’s May 5 Capitol Hill Day, Jamieson Bourque, MD, MHS, FASNC, joined Cardiovascular Business (CVB) Digital Editor Dave Fornell for an interview summarizing the messages that the Society’s advocacy delegation delivered during 66 visits with congressional offices. Dr. Bourque also discussed ASNC’s congressional briefing, which detailed how Congress can help with challenges that limit patient access to care.

Cardiovascular Business coverage of ASNC’s 2026 Capitol Hill Day includes an interview with Jamieson M. Bourque, MD, MHS, FASNC.
The CVB video is a helpful resource for ASNC members, as it highlights key provisions in proposed legislation being considered by Congress. ASNC is asking members to contact members of Congress with messages focused on reforms to prior authorization, halting Medicare cuts, and rejecting the AUC mandate on advanced imaging. These requests are valuable on their own and because they will amplify the efforts of ASNC’s advocacy delegation and Health Policy Committee.
ASNC maintains an Action Center with letter and email templates that members may personalize and send to their elected representatives. Connect with Congress Now!
