2025 Advocacy Priorities
Where We Stand
The American College of Physicians supports increasing accessibility and affordability of prescription drugs. Medications can only be as effective as our patients’ ability to access them. We support efforts to help control the rising cost of prescription drugs and ensure an adequate supply of medications.
