Re: MGMA Letter on Healthcare Policies in the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026

Dear Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Thune, Minority Leader Jeffries, and Minority Leader Schumer:

On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) thanks you for your longstanding leadership in supporting medical group practices’ ability to provide high-quality, cost-effective care. We appreciate the introduction of the Consolidation Appropriations Act, 2026 (CAA, 2026, H.R. 7148), which includes critical bipartisan healthcare policies along with funding for the federal government. As we approach the January 30, 2026, deadline when many healthcare policies are scheduled to expire alongside federal government funding, we write to emphasize the urgent need for Congress to pass stabilizing legislation and work to permanently adopt many of these policies in statute.
