MSSNYPAC Releases County by County Legislator Scorecards
To assist physicians in their advocacy with local legislators, MSSNYPAC has developed specialized, county by county versions of its legislator scorecard. For those not familiar, the scorecard is a valuable tool for physicians that contains the voting and co-sponsorship records of each state legislator on issues important to New York physicians, their patients, and our health care system. This year, the scorecard encompasses four bills supported by MSSNY and one bill opposed by MSSNY:
Bills supported by MSSNY:
A6017/S3449 – MSSNY CPH Liability Protection
A7268/S3400 – Prior Authorization Reform
A7316/S6733 – Telehealth Payment Parity Extension
A1777/S3282 – Due Process for Non-Renewed Providers
Bills opposed by MSSNY:
A6698/S6636 – Wrongful Death Expansion
Now that the scorecard has been organized by county, you will be able to see how the legislators that represent your community are voting on issues that matter to physicians and their patients. There are currently 18 county scorecards available, and we encourage you to download and share them. To request a scorecard from a county not listed, please contact [email protected] or call 518-465-8085.
