Nearly a third of the Senate has signed a letter calling on Congress to scrap the 3.37% Medicare payment cut. This bipartisan support reflects the deep concern across the country that these cuts endanger health care access for constituents, especially those in rural and underserved areas. @AmerMedicalAssn will be working with members of Congress over the next few weeks to achieve the goals of this letter, and we appreciate Senator @JohnBoozman and @SenPeterWelch for their leadership. Medicare patients are grateful that they have champions in Washington. https://t.co/mTODYCRhdd
Our CEO, Tom George, M.D., recently returned from his twelfth trip to Honduras, helping to provide medical care for people who otherwise have no access to these services.
In his first remarks after assuming the highest office in organized medicine, @amermedicalassn's newly inaugurated President @DoctorJesseMD drew from personal experience to speak to the inequities that plague the American health care system. https://t.co/N0FsmsrkJ6
I completed my work yesterday as President of the @AmerMedicalAssn, and the transition to "Immediate Past President" is now done. It has been an extraordinary privilege to represent this profession that I love, and I thank my colleagues for the trust they placed in me.
I just heard two powerful addresses from @AmerMedicalAssn leaders, President @JackResneckMD and @CEO_AMA James L. Madara, MD. If you don't know about the AMA Recovery Plan for America's Physicians, get to know it -- they're #FightingForDocs. https://t.co/Ae9pA1mlvX #AMAmtg
