Subject: Ways and Means Markup of Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act

Dear Chairman Neal and Ranking Member Brady,

On behalf of the Regulatory Relief Coalition (RRC) — a group of national physician specialty organizations advocating for reduced regulatory burdens that interfere with patient care — we are pleased to support the Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act, as amended. We urge all House Committee on Ways and Means members to approve the legislation at the July 27 markup.

This committee’s action is a critical step toward fulfilling our coalition’s goal of ensuring that physicians spend more time treating patients and less time overcoming bureaucratic hurdles and barriers to care. With more than 300 House co-sponsors and over 500 endorsing organizations1 representing patients, providers, and the medical technology and biopharmaceutical industry, it is time for this bill to become the law of the land.
