The AMA has set a strong advocacy agenda for 2004. Just as during 2003, federal medical liability reform is at the very top of the list. The AMA's 2004 advocacy initiatives include securing enough votes in the U.S. Senate to pass federal medical liability reforms; working with federal lawmakers to pass legislation that creates a long-term update fix for Medicare payments; and working with other physician groups to expand health insurance coverage for more Americans.
