Dear Speaker McCarthy and Leader Jefferies:
We write again to bring to your attention a matter of great urgency. Financial uncertainty in our nation’s health care system has been growing for years, and further escalated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite spending significantly more on health care than other industrialized countries, the United States continues to face poorer health outcomes and is experiencing a critical shortage of health care providers. A contributing factor is our Medicare payment system, which has failed to maintain levels of provider reimbursement that adequately incentivize high quality care.
