Abstract
This report summarizes the MDA’s participation in the ADA's annual Lobby Day in Washington, D.C.. MDA representatives met with congressional offices to advocate for student loan reform, including interest-free deferment during residency (H.R. 2028), and ERISA reform to ensure consistent patient protections across all dental insurance plans (H.R. 7931). The update also highlights efforts to protect the federal oral health infrastructure and introduces the "Member Minute" program for submitting legislative and insurance questions directly to the advocacy team.
