Hospitals and health systems provide life-saving care 24/7/365, and patients depend on that care being there when emergencies and serious health needs arise. But for too many families, some insurers create barriers through prior authorization, delays, denials, and administrative red tape that can stand between patients and the treatment their doctors say they need.

These delays do more than create frustration — they can postpone treatment, worsen outcomes, and add stress during already difficult moments. Physicians report that prior authorization continues to negatively affect patient outcomes, which is why protecting 24/7 access to care also means protecting patients from practices that interfere with timely treatment.

Sign your name if you agree it is time to protect access to hospital care and hold some insurers accountable for delaying and denying care.
