Policy letters and testimony

PAN Foundation submitted a letter to Senators Thune and Schumer expressing grave concern for the changes to Medicaid and health insurance marketplace plans proposed in the 2025 budget reconciliation package. If the House health provisions in H.R. 1 are enacted, nearly 10.9 million Americans could lose their health insurance, fueling a health care crisis with catastrophic impacts on patients, caregivers, providers, and health systems.

The PAN Foundation submitted a letter to Senators Luján and Cassidy in support of S.1973, the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA). This critical legislation will bridge the Medicare Part D coverage gap to include medications for obesity treatment.

In a letter to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the PAN Foundation joined 67 other organizations urging CMS to protect enrollees by improving transparency around the expanded use of utilization management (UM) practices by Medicare Part D insurance plans.

The PAN Foundation joined a letter signed by 80 organizations to the Department of Labor, urging them to issue a promised federal rule that would close a harmful loophole in the enforcement of Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) provision of federal law that allows copay maximizer programs for some health plans.
