Once Congress returns to Washington post-Labor Day, swift action is needed on a full slate of priorities. Pathologists are sending Action Alerts this August to ensure our agenda gains momentum on Capitol Hill next month.
Take action: In addition to saving the cancer registries, we’re asking members to go to our Action Center to send a message to Congress on these important issues:
- Address the physician workforce shortage: Support legislation that bolsters physician numbers, such as Conrad 30.
- Oppose the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act: Overturning court precedent, this act would allow the patenting of human genes and naturally occurring associations between genes and disease.
- Reform prior authorization: Push for reforms to reduce burdensome prior authorization requirements that interfere with pathology services.
