@RepGregMurphy thank you for your time and for your support of podiatrists and the patients who depend on their care!
Congressman Greg Murphy, M.D.@RepGregMurphy

Honored to speak with the American Podiatric Medical Association about the role physicians play in shaping health policy. As Chair of the GOP Doctors Caucus, I discussed Medicare reimbursement reform, reducing prior authorization burdens, and the importance of physician advocacy. Great to meet with podiatrists, residents, and students in town this week!
