NJAASC PAC
Purpose The goal of the NJAASC PAC is to support the advancement and advocacy of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), promote patient safety, and protect the outpatient surgical care profession in the State of New Jersey. The NJAASC PAC will also support the nomination, election, and reelection of candidates to New Jersey state offices whose philosophy aligns with the mission, goals, and objectives of ASCs in New Jersey. NJAASC PAC funds will be used to support those seeking and holding office who recognize the vital role ASCs play in providing high-quality, cost-effective surgical care and who advocate for policies ensuring patient safety, equitable care, and sustainability of the ASC model. Funds will also be allocated to address legislative and regulatory challenges, such as fair reimbursement practices, including Medicaid fees, to ensure ASCs can continue to deliver exceptional care to all patients regardless of race, color, religion, or financial ability. NJAASC PAC Fundraising Since its inception, the NJAASC PAC has successfully organized fundraising campaigns, with many groups and individuals contributing $1,000 or more. Unsolicited contributions between campaigns have also been an important part of the PAC's success. Rules on Contributing to the NJAASC PAC:
Background of PACs A PAC (Political Action Committee) is a political organization established to raise and spend money to elect or defeat candidates. While many PACs represent business, labor, or ideological interests, an increasing number of healthcare organizations, including ASCs, have formed PACs to voice their perspectives and address key industry challenges. With the rise of issues such as managed healthcare policies, reimbursement practices, and regulatory changes, physicians and healthcare organizations are engaging in the political mainstream to influence positive change. NJAASC PAC brings the concerns of the ASC community to the forefront, supporting candidates who champion patient safety, quality care, and sustainable healthcare delivery systems. The origins of PACs date back to the 1940s when labor unions formed PACs to support Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) further transformed political fundraising, leading to the growth of PACs and their influence in shaping policy.
