Scorecard

The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) Legislative Scorecard summarizes the voting and co-sponsorship records of New York State legislators and members of New York’s congressional delegation on issues important to physicians and their patients during the 2025–2026 legislative session.

The scorecard highlights legislative actions consistent with MSSNY’s positions on issues affecting the practice of medicine, physician advocacy, and patient care.

While the scorecard provides insight into legislative activity, it does not capture every contribution an individual legislator makes. Other considerations include leadership roles, committee assignments, legislative negotiations, and efforts to advance or prevent legislation affecting physicians and their patients.
