Democratic senators, led by Patty Murray, are using the Congressional Review Act to force a vote to end CMS's WISeR AI prior authorization pilot. The resolution argues the program is overruling doctors and delaying care for seniors. If passed, it would rescind the rule and block CMS from issuing a substantially similar one. The move reflects deepening political opposition to automated denials. Track the resolution's progress; a vote could occur this summer.
