A note from the AMA President

We have redesigned this week's issue of Advocacy Update to deliver more of the news you need right to your inbox, keeping you up to date on the issues affecting physicians and medical practice at the national and state levels as well as in the courts. In addition to the new look, we are now including direct links to individual stories so that you can get to the news you want, faster.

Keep an eye out for new features in upcoming issues that celebrate physicians moving medicine, highlight the wins that improve patient care and tout the power of organized medicine.

We'd love to hear your thoughts as we continue to update and improve this newsletter. Please send us your feedback—what you would like to see more of and what you think is missing.

Thank you for subscribing and for your membership.
