Ossoff is cosponsoring a Senate resolution to stop the Trump Administration from allowing artificial intelligence to improperly deny seniors\u2019 needed health care.\n\nThis year, the Trump Administration\u2019s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) Model, a pilot program that uses \u201ctechnologies such as artificial intelligence to review the appropriateness of select services in six states over a six-year trial period.\u201d\n\nThe Congressional Review Act resolution, led by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), would repeal the WISeR Model, stopping the Trump Administration from using AI to deny seniors\u2019 care.\n\n\u201cThe abuse of prior authorization practices has led to Georgians being denied life-saving medication and waiting months for the care they need,\u201d Sen. Ossoff said. \u201cGeorgians shouldn\u2019t have to worry that artificial intelligence will improperly deny them needed care.\u201d\n\nSen. Ossoff continues to work to ban insurance companies from denying or delaying needed health care.\n\nIn June, during the Senate\u2019s vote series, Sen. Ossoff offered an amendment to prevent insurance companies from denying or delaying needed health care, but Senate Republicans blocked Sen. Ossoff\u2019s amendment. This followed Senate Republicans blocking Sen. Ossoff\u2019s amendment during a Senate budget debate in April.\n\nIn April, Sen. Ossoff launched an inquiry with CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz about insurance practices that lead to denied claims and delayed health care that patients need.\n\nClick here to read the Senate Resolution.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-07-15T07:12:08Z", "2026-07-15T07:13:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/press-releases/sen-ossoff-working-to-crack-down-on-ai-improperly-denying-needed-health-care/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0351361706852913, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
