It is my favorite event of the year. @ACPIMPhysicians 2026 Leadership Day is off to a great start with nearly 500 internal medicine physicians and medical students preparing to meet with their members of Congress tomorrow. #ACPLD
It is so empowering to have 500+ internal medicine physicians and students in DC to meet with their members of Congress and advocate with @ACPIMPhysicians for their patients. #ACPLD

.@RepLarryBucshon Thank you for your efforts to protect patient access to care and medical practices from #Medicare cuts. #StopTheFullCut
Now is the time for Congress to #StopTheFullCut by passing my bipartisan Supporting Medicare Providers Act to prevent Medicare reimbursement cuts from taking effect at the start of the new year.

Internal Medicine Physicians Welcome Improvements to Prior Authorization Processes | ACP Newsroom | ACP acponline.org/acp-newsroom/i…
We’ll said! #StopTheFullCut
🎶One of these things is not like the others (remember Sesame Street?). #Physicians face steep #Medicare cuts (despite record inflation) unless Congress acts to #StopTheFullCut!
See @AmerMedicalAssn chart showing the disparity between physician payments & ALL other providers 👇
