CHAIR LETTER Dear Colleagues: On behalf of the entire OMSPAC Board of Directors, I am happy to present you with our Annual Report of OMSPAC activities and successes. In 2017, 1,002 AAOMS members supported OMSPAC with $372,501 in personal and corporate donations. The more contributions we receive, the more opportunities we have to provide assistance to candidates who understand and support our specialty. In addition, OMSPAC distributed $158,500 to candidates running in the 2018, 2020 or 2022 elections. More than 30 OMSs helped us deliver these contributions in the local districts. Each time a contribution was delivered, it provided an opportunity to discuss our issues and form relationships with individuals who decide our future. Thank you for your support in all our endeavors. OMSPAC is only as strong as our contributors, and we would not be where we are without you! Sincerely,

Harry Y. Canter Jr., DDS Chair Jeffrey H. Wallen, DDS Treasurer/District III Cynthia E. Winne, DMD, MPH District I

2017 PRIORITY ISSUES OMSPAC supports candidates who listen and support our federal priorities. Below are just some of the issues identified as important to the specialty by the AAOMS Committee on Government Affairs and the AAOMS Board of Trustees. For more information on AAOMS’s other federal legislative priorities, visit the Government Affairs page on AAOMS.org.

FEDERAL ANTITRUST REFORM

AAOMS supports repealing the McCarran-Ferguson Act, which exempts health insurers from federal antitrust laws.

Why is it important? Antitrust laws are designed to protect and foster competition in the marketplace. However, since 1945, the McCarran-Ferguson Act has provided the insurance industry with a statutory exemption from federal antitrust laws that apply to every other industry. Antitrust law has evolved, making the exemption unnecessary. It has likely contributed to a lack of adequate competition in the nation’s health insurance marketplace, to the detriment of healthcare providers and consumers by giving states, which do not have the resources to take action against health insurers that break state antitrust laws, the primary responsibility of regulating insurers’ antitrust activities.

Why is it important? Student loan debt is a significant determining factor in where and how OMSs practice. Large amounts of debt may hinder younger OMSs from buying a home, starting a family, buying into a practice or rendering pro bono services.

REFORM STUDENT LOAN REPAYMENT

AAOMS supports reforming student loan repayment by:

Reducing federal graduate student loan interest rates to levels below 6 percent.

Expanding the current tax deduction on student loan interest and removing income limits to receive the deduction.

Allowing student loan borrowers to consolidate federal and private loans and refinance the interest rates on those loans more than once to take advantage of lower rates. Once a loan has been refinanced, the interest rate should be allowed to remain fixed for the duration of the loan’s repayment or until the borrower decides to refinance again.

Expanding repayment policies for federal student loan forgiveness programs and allowing participants to take advantage of forgiveness or repayment assistance earlier in the loan repayment process.

Why is it important? Limitations on FSAs and HSAs force patients to forgo necessary dental care. Out-of-pocket medical costs can exceed FSA/HSA contribution maximums.

EXPAND THE USE OF FSAS AND HSAS

AAOMS supports canceling the FSA “use-it-or-lose-it” provision, increasing annual contributions limits and allowing families with more than two dependents to deposit additional funds. AAOMS also supports increasing the annual HSA contribution limit and expanding HSA availability beyond those with a high-deductible plan.

Why is it important? The current system encourages healthcare professionals to engage in “defensive medicine,” which leads to costly and often unnecessary care. It also deters health professionals from sharing information with each other that, in turn, impedes efforts to improve patient safety and quality of care.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE REFORM

Like many other doctors, oral and maxillofacial surgeons believe the current civil justice system is both costly and ineffective in resolving claims of healthcare liability and injury compensation. It adversely impacts patient access to healthcare services, the quality of patient care and the overall cost-efficiency of healthcare.

OMSPAC 15

Recommended levels of support are only suggestions, and any amount is greatly appreciated. Contributions are completely voluntary, and you may contribute more or less than this suggested

amount or not at all without fear of disadvantage or reprisal. Contributions to OMSPAC are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. OMSPAC cannot accept contributions from foreign

nationals. Federal law prohibits OMSPAC from using corporate contributions for federal candidates. Contributions from corporate accounts will be deposited into the OMSPAC Administrative

Account, not the Federal Election Account. The Administrative Account can be used to cover administrative expenses such as OMSPAC staff salaries, printing costs and mailing costs. While

OMSPAC accepts all contributions, we encourage personal (hard) contributions. Personal contributions are the only funds that can be used to contribute to federal candidates.
