@TSRooseveltRE @HouseCommerce @RepGuthrie Agree @TSRooseveltRE . And we emphasized that topic as well.

[Energy and Commerce Committee @HouseCommerce]

Challenges with payment uncertainty hinders providers’ ability to provide care, ultimately putting at risk seniors’ access to timely and quality care.

Watch as Chairman @RepGuthrie asks what changes can be made to the Physician Fee Schedule in order to create more payment stability for providers.

[Energy and Commerce Committee @HouseCommerce]

.@RepJohnJoyce understands firsthand how sacred the patient-provider relationship is, and vertical integration is a key factor that disturbs that balance.

Stabilizing the Physician Fee Schedule protects independent physician practices, which ultimately serve our patients better.

ACP is alarmed by the abrupt firing of two members of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) this week. The USPSTF guidance is critical to a healthy America, and we must not allow its membership or processes to be politicized: https://t.co/PkirXYomsq

It was great to meet with @RepJohnMcguire today on a range of health care issues impacting our patient care at @ACPIMphysicians #ACPLD2026

[Jason Goldman @jasongoldmanmd]

Inspired by @ACPIMPhysicians President Jan K. Carney, MD, MPH, MACP, and her call to advocate for patients, public health, and the physician workforce. Important work ahead to support evidence-based policy and vaccine access.

A meaningful moment at Leadership Day as @DarilynMoyer delivered her opening remarks during her final year as @ACPIMPhysicians EVP/CEO. Grateful for her leadership, her integrity, and her unwavering commitment to truth, evidence, and our patients. #ACP #MedicalLeadership

#BadBunny halftime show at the superbowl may be entirely in Spanish, but I will still understand it a million times more than @kendricklamar last year! 🤣

Just stop. Please. Just. Stop

Hey @ExpressScripts can you please stop bombarding my inbox with all of your “suggestions“ on how I should treat my patients and instead focus on making sure you get my patients their meds in a timely fashion

[William Fox @BillFoxMD]

I am a trained professional @ExpressScripts . I have been doing this for 30 years. My job is to determine which medicines my patient should or should not be taking. It is not helpful for me to spend additional admin time sorting through your automatically generated suggestions

[William Fox @BillFoxMD]

It’s not helpful for you to tell me: 1. I’ve kept my patient on a PPI too long, 2. I’m wrong to Rx a low dose tricyclic to a 65 YO for 20 yrs for interstitial cystitis which she tolerates well, 3. That my patient who you think has diabetes (but doesn’t) needs to be on a statin.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

AI doesn't need to be perfect to outperform our healthcare system's woeful status quo. It just needs to be better.
In many cases, it already is.
In today's @nytimes, I explore this idea – a central theme of my upcoming book, A Giant Leap (out Feb 3).

As a primary care doc on the front lines, this is the reality. Insurers are required to maintain an adequate network, but fail to reimburse mental health professionals enough to do so. And then they don’t accurately disclose the narrowness of that network https://t.co/M8d23Y5smB
