Current congress (118th) - very tight margins, paralyzed by the ‘24 elections. Now in lame duck
Many ACR policies made into bills - PA, step rx, copay accumulator, workforce, loan repayment, incr Rx transparency
Needs to be passed into law

@DrLauraCoates presented Sex differences in clinical presentations of PsA:
-Women present >polyarthritis, enthesitis and worse PROs which translates to ⬆️ DAPSAs in spite of less Rx progression.
-Men more oligoarthritis, axial involvement, higher skin disease.

🔥Sex matters in PsA
🔑Differences in :
➡️clinical phenotypes
➡️radiographic progression
➡️disease impact
