Dear Health Advocates,
We hope you had a fantastic Labor Day weekend, and we are honored to work with so many labor organizations to advance health and health care in this country!
Last week, Families USA released multiple sign on letters in response to the new proposed rules on Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) from CMS. We ask that you sign on to any and all that apply to you and your organization, and you can find the links to these comment letters below!
We also want to remind you all to please fill out our Save the Date for our annual Health Action Conference, which will be held in person this year at the Capitol Hilton in Washington, DC on January 23-24! Once you save the date, we'll be in touch for your RSVP to secure your spot at HAC 2025.
You can find more on all of this below, along with this week’s new opportunities and resources: |
