ACS Leaders…..
Recently, he House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee passed a bill that repeals the Independent Payment Advisory Board. The bill has over 225 cosponsors including a number of prominent Democrats. Yesterday, the American College of Surgeons sent a letter in support of this legislation. Virtually the entire health care community is on record supporting the legislation. I expect that the bill may get as many as 300 votes in support when the bill is voted on in the House in the coming weeks. The bill faces significant opposition in the Senate and the President is opposed to the bill. If you have any questions, please let me know.
