As most state legislatures have wrapped their 2026 sessions, we’ll take a look at the healthcare wins and challenges faced this year and dive into how these set the landscape for 2027. From scope of practice to physician well-being to prior authorization and insurer issues, organized medicine pushed for—and achieved considerable—progress and reforms to help patients and physicians. 

Join us for a webinar on Dec. 9 at 12:30 p.m. Central Time, as we cover the latest on these issues—and preview what’s to come at the AMA State Advocacy Summit, Jan. 7-9, 2027. Register for the webinar and the Summit to hear the highlights and strategies you need to know.
