American Academy of Family PhysiciansOpposeTrade association
Summary: The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) opposes the proposed interim final rule because it imposes rigid Medicaid work requirements that risk disrupting healthcare access and creates significant administrative and financial burdens on states and physicians. They advocate for a more flexible implementation that includes broader medical frailty exclusions, extended timelines, and protections for clinicians against making legal eligibility determinations.
On behalf of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), which represents more than 124,500 family physicians and medical students across the country, please see the attached comments in response to this IFR.
