TAPP Joins 40 Organizations on a Letter Urging U.S. House to Support “Abolish the CMMI” Act

The Trade Alliance to Promote Prosperity joined a coalition of 40 organizations on sending a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives today, urging support the Abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) Act.

In part, the coalition wrote, “CMMI has expanded the scale, scope, and coerciveness of its models. They interfere with the decisions of doctors and patients about the best course of care, and override policy decisions made by Congress. They also disrupt care delivery and burden providers with administrative complexity and undermine patient choice… CMMI has a guaranteed source of funding that gives unelected bureaucrats broad authority to make healthcare policy decisions without any obligation to succeed. The lack of accountability and transparency and disregard for outcomes are costly for taxpayers and dangerous for patients.”
