It’s time for Congress to pass a permanent solution to the broken Medicare payment system so that ob-gyns can build sustainable practices, ensuring that they can provide care to patients today and in the future. Make your voice heard: acog.quorum.us/campaign/1059…
The original bipartisan funding bill had provisions that would shore up efforts to confront maternal mortality, help keep physician practices open, improve rural health education and readiness, inform prevention of stillbirth, and more. 1/2
The time is now. Congress must pass the funding bill that includes measures such as relief from burdensome #Medicare payment cuts—key to helping doctors continue to provide critical health care—and support for lifesaving maternal and infant health programs. 1/2
Tell your member of Congress today to pass the funding bill with reauthorizations of the #PreventingMaternalDeathsAct, #THCGME, National Health Service Corps, and #PREEMIEAct: acog.quorum.us/campaign/8873… 2/2
As an ob-gyn, you know firsthand that no one should have to experience the tragedy of stillbirth. Urge your members of Congress to support the #SHINEforAutumnAct today to help fill gaps in stillbirth data, research, and education: acog.quorum.us/campaign/6355…
Yesterday, ACOG members proudly presented @SenatorWarnock with the 2024 ACOG Public Service Award in honor of his work on maternal mortality and his introduction of the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act.
Medicare physician payments face another cut on January 1, 2025. Adequate payment helps keep ob-gyn practices open; without it, practices become unsustainable.
Communities must have access to care. Congress must act. acog.quorum.us/campaign/8873… #FixMedicareNow #ObGynsInAction
The National Health Service Corps (NHSC) and Teaching Health Centers Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program ensure that underserved communities have access to care. With maternal mortality rates rising, funding for these programs is more important than ever. 1/3
Do you live in a county without an ob-gyn? It’s more likely than you may think: 35% of U.S. counties—many of them rural—have no ob-gyns. The NHSC and THCGME train future ob-gyns and health care professionals to work in rural areas. #ObGynsInAction 2/3

U.S. maternal mortality rates are rising. The Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act supports maternal mortality review committees that identify causes of maternal deaths and solutions to prevent them. Tell Congress: Pass the bill! #ObGynsInAction acog.quorum.us/campaign/8873…
Today, ACOG members are on Capitol Hill advocating to combat high maternal mortality rates, bolster the primary care workforce, and fix Medicare payments. Join them in making your voice heard: acog.quorum.us/campaign/8873… #ObGynsInAction #FixMedicareNow
This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, ACOG honors @SarahEMcBride. Ob-GynPAC was proud to endorse her campaign for Congress this year, and we look forward to working with her to protect access to patient-centered, evidence-based health care.
The 119th Congress will have several members whose elections made history.
@SarahEMcBride, a state senator who won Delaware's at-large seat in the House, will become the first openly transgender member of the U.S. Congress.
@IAmAmnaNawaz speaks to her for more.

ACOG opposes Nebraska’s Initiative 434, which would enshrine a 12-week #abortion ban. There is no room for legislative interference in essential reproductive health care decisions. However, its proponents are misrepresenting our position.
We’ll make it clear: Vote no on 434.
Care for your patients at every level. Make your voice heard and vote this November! Learn more and get prepared to vote: bit.ly/4fn98Zs 🗳️ #VoteForHealth
No one should suffer the pain of stillbirth. The SHINE for Autumn Act would fund efforts to better understand and prevent stillbirth so that fewer families grieve this kind of loss. Ask your member of Congress to support this bill: bit.ly/3UblNXm #PAILAwarenessMonth
Today, lawmakers in Georgia will once again take reproductive autonomy out of the hands of Georgians and their trusted physicians and give it to politicians instead of patients. Revoking access to essential health care is cruel and will cost lives.
“There is no edit, no amendment, no addendum to these terrible bans that can undo the harm they have created and allow for full access to care. Simply put, abortion bans must be repealed in order to ensure full access to safe, essential reproductive health care for all people.”
When abortion bans prevent ob-gyns and clinicians from providing essential health care, patients and their families suffer for it. ACOG condemns attempts to malign ob-gyns for providing care the best they can in difficult circumstances. Read our statement: bit.ly/3NdjcZm
A judge just struck down Georgia's cruel six-week #abortion ban, which has caused suffering in the state for the last two years. For the sake of people in Georgia, we hope that the ban remains on hold so that patients can get the care they need. wsav.com/news/local-news/geo…
Today, the Senate will vote AGAIN on the #RightToIVF act, which would protect the ability of patients across the country to access critical fertility care, regardless of their restrictive state laws. Tell your Senator TODAY to support this bill. #IVFforAll senate.gov/states/statesmap.…
