On December 4, Endocrine Society hosted a meeting of the Diabetes Advocacy Alliance (DAA) to discuss recent legislative and regulatory advances in diabetes and how to achieve greater success through our collective work. Former Senate Majority Leader, Tom Daschle (pictured), provided a unique perspective at this meeting on opportunities to affect change in the 114th Congress, remarking that Democrats and Republicans will likely be further polarized but that there are several potential areas for bipartisanship. These issues include the repeal of the flawed sustainable growth rate formula, reimbursement for telehealth, and extending coverage of the National Diabetes Prevention Program to the Medicare population. The Society looks forward to continuing to advocate on behalf of these important issues and in working with the DAA to affect change together.
