AHA Advocacy Day: Congress urged to support hospitals and patients
More than 200 hospital and health system leaders on June 6 participated in an AHA Advocacy Day briefing to get the latest developments from Capitol Hill. AHA leaders briefed those in attendance on a number of issues, including site-neutral payment policies, the 340B Drug Pricing Program, consolidation, physician-owned hospitals and price transparency. Hospital and health system leaders then met with lawmakers and their staff on Capitol Hill to discuss the many challenges hospitals and health systems are experiencing and why additional harmful proposals would jeopardize access to care for patients and communities. The AHA Action Center has a number of resources that can assist members in conversations with Congress.
