In addition to the TV ad, there are also digital ads and a social media push, according to a Feb. 4 AHA news release.
The ad says hospitals are paying an additional $24 billion for labor during the COVID-19 pandemic and that inflation has reached 7 percent, its highest rate since 1982.
“Congress must act now to stop Medicare cuts and ensure hospitals and health systems have the resources they need to care for patients,” the ad says.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
