As the 2026 midterms approach on November 3, the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) discusses the potential implications for healthcare and radiology based on election outcomes. Currently, forecasts suggest an 85% chance for Democrats to take the House and a 56% chance for the Senate. The RSNA highlights that a shift in Congressional control could reshape key committees affecting health policy, including oversight of the NIH and AI in medical imaging. They emphasize the significance of federal AI policy discussions in Congress, where bipartisan bills are underway, such as the American Leadership in AI Act and the FRONTIER Act. RSNA notes that the election results will likely influence legislative priorities related to healthcare, biomedical research, oversight of AI, and healthcare affordability.
