In the letter, the NASS said that elements of the bill will fail to control costs, to improve quality or to increase access to care.
Concerns were also raised over the adoption of a public plan that “does not address impending primary and specialty care workforce shortages or clearly reduce costs over the long term,” according to the release. The NASS is also concerned over proposed medical advisory councils or committee that would be created with little to no physician input or oversight.
