Congress introduced legislation that includes relief from Medicare payment cuts, a two-year extension of COVID-era telehealth flexibilities and a five-year THCGME reauthorization, among other provisions for which the AAFP has long advocated for. We continue to advocate alongside the entire physician community in support of long-term reforms, including an annual inflationary update to Medicare physician payment. Find details in our statement and expect a full analysis from the AAFP in January. We urge Congress to swiftly pass the legislation as a concrete step forward to create a better health care system. We look forward to working with the 119th Congress to advance meaningful, longer-term policies to ensure everyone has access to affordable, comprehensive primary care. https://bit.ly/3VMA65s
