As the unsustainable Medicare physician payment system and changes to Medicaid threaten access to care, the AMA continues to work at the federal and state levels to prioritize policies that will protect patients and their physicians. Join this Advocacy Insights webinar on Jan. 14 at 12:30 p.m. Central Time for an update as part of a new biannual series on the AMA’s latest advocacy on Medicare payment and Medicaid.   

Hear what’s on the horizon for Medicare payment in the new Congress and at the regulatory level, and how the AMA is working to support reform efforts through grassroots activation. The webinar will also turn to the evolving Medicaid landscape and potential opportunities to address Medicaid issues in the new Congress. As provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act take effect, learn how the AMA is working to shape state and federal implementation, protect access to care, and help physicians and patients navigate significant changes to Medicaid.
