The #AAFP joins the AMA and other physician organizations in opposing immigration enforcement interference in health care facilities. We stand in full support of our family physicians and their colleagues in communities across Minnesota working to ensure that all patients have access to safe, confidential care from a trusted health care professional.
"The AMA is deeply concerned by reports of immigration enforcement activity in and around hospitals and emergency rooms – a tactic fueling fear among patients and hospital staff alike. When people are afraid to seek medical attention for themselves or their families, it threatens their health, impedes the ability of physicians to render care, and ultimately undermines basic trust in our health care institutions."

"For most family physicians, our commitment to providing hepatitis B vaccination to newborns remains the same today as it was before the CDC’s ACIP voted last week to change a longstanding recommendation."

Removing the universal recommendation for Hepatitis B vaccination could result in thousands of chronic HepB infections, leading to severe complications like liver cancer and death. The AAFP strongly supports maintaining universal HepB vaccination at birth, and we call on @CDCgov to ensure this safety net continues to protect newborns and life-saving protection remains the standard of care.

Medicaid isn’t a handout; it’s a lifeline that is critical to your patients and your practices. AAFP president @mrsbrull joined leaders from @AmerAcadPed, @ACPIMPhysicians, and @acog with a message to Congress: Primary care matters. Medicaid matters. And our patients’ lives matter. Don’t cut Medicaid. bit.ly/4jKwES4

Medicaid coverage has been consistently shown to improve health outcomes at the individual, family and community levels both in the short- and long-term.
📢 Urge Congress to avert cuts to #Medicaid TODAY to ensure that family physicians like you can continue to provide care to your patients. fammedpac.aafp.org/take-acti…
The #Medicaid program covers millions of patients and families. Medicaid cuts will:
➡️ Worsen our nation’s health outcomes
➡️ Increase health care costs
➡️ Lead to practice closures and restrict access to care
That’s why @AAFP’s president, president-elect and board chair are on Capitol Hill today urging Congress to protect this vital program. bit.ly/40VEfGg

Congress must put primary care at the forefront and pass legislation that addresses cuts to #Medicare payment and permanent solutions that help attract and retain physicians in rural and medically underserved communities.
