It's #InternationalWomensDay! DYK? In 1953, #anesthesiologist and pioneer in perinatal medicine Dr. Virginia Apgar published the Apgar Score to assess newborn health. Today we celebrate Dr. Apgar and the accomplishments of women physicians in the U.S. and throughout the world.

ASA, working with other leading physician organizations, urges bringing stakeholders to the table to develop a more workable solution to the proposed cap on NIH indirect cost payments. asahq.org/advocacy-and-a…

No “Doc Fix” in the House gov’t funding package to be voted on later this week. 😖 asahq.org/about-asa/news…

The newest bit in the DCA vs Dulles debate. Brilliant!

ASA applauds @MOanesthesia for testifying at the state capitol to close legal loopholes allowing insurance companies to put time limits on anesthesia coverage and receiving local news coverage for their efforts on this important patient safety matter 👏 #Missouri #Anesthesia

AANA on Capitol Hill this week. Nurses lobbying on two scope of practice bills and one funding request. 3rd year in a row w/ not a word about economic sustainability of practices. NOTHING about commercial insurers squeezing groups or unreasonably low Medicare payments. Sigh.

Great first day of the ASA Leg Con 2025. Over 500 attendees for our briefing session. Preserving safe anesthesia for Veteran, taking on “Big Insurance” and pushing for a permanent “Doc Fix.”

Day 2 is a wrap @ LegCon 2025. Visits from distinguished House members - Rep Maxine Dexter MD D-OR pulmonologist/critical care, Rep Marc Veasey D-TX, Rep Ann Wagner R-MO & Rep Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-FL). And loads of successful legislative visits. #PatientSafetyisBipartisan

Day 3 of LegCon 2025. Rep Julie Johnson shares incredibly valuable insights in science of politics - how to build a strong, local relationship with a member of Congress, how to be an effective advocate, and communicate with passion and earnestness.

Great discussion with Rep Bob Onder, a freshman physician/member of Congress from the great state of Missouri. He comes to DC after a distinguished career in the MO state legislature. Incredibly knowledgeable on all the moving parts of health care.

I can see the NIL solicitation now. “Dear Fellow Villanova, With my elevation to Pope, Villanova is back on top. I am excited about the rebuilding of our vaulted program. But God and I can’t do it alone. We need your help by supporting our NIL fund…

Appreciate Dr. Arnold’s leadership in working with the House GOP Doc Caucus for much needed Medicare payment fixes.

Important step in reining in MA prior authorization. Time for big insurance to be held accountable. ASA® ASAGrassrootsNetwork

Thank you for your leadership!!

ASA has joined 75 national medical organizations to urge Senate leaders to include Medicare physician payment provisions from the House-passed One Big Beautiful Bill in the Senate version. The letter was co-led by ASA with AANS and American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons. ow.ly/FKR350WfAs1

Great to work with Neurosurgery and American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons for a renewed push to get the House GOP Doc Caucus Medicare physician payment fix included in the Senate's One Big Beautiful Bill. #InflationUpdate #CriticalOpportunity

I wish…

HR 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” megabill passes Congress. To be signed into law today. Key takeaways - modest Medicare “Doc Fix” for 2026, significant Medicaid changes and new federal student loan limits. We’ll have more information after reviewing the final.
