MCA 2019 Legislative Priorities Survey

During each session, bills are either actively promoted by the MCA or that are pursued by other groups that the MCA supports, opposes or which the association maintains a position of neutrality.

This past legislative session ended without any major healthcare bills enacted into law. This inaction provides a large opportunity for healthcare legislation in 2019. To assist the MCA’s Legislative Committee as it prepares for the 2019 legislative session, please share your opinion regarding the following areas of focus:
