President of the Arizona Medical Association (ArMA), practicing physician and patient advocate
AI should not replace physician judgment. Physicians are reporting more denials and longer wait times for peer-to-peer reviews, straining clinic resources and slowing access to care.

Verified. The Medscape article (source_url returns 403 to WebFetch, but confirmed via independent web search) attributes this statement to Jason Jameson, MD, President of the Arizona Medical Association (author_id 4021 matches). The exact phrasing from the article: "physicians are reporting more denials and longer wait times for peer-to-peer reviews, straining clinic resources and slowing access to care." The first sentence ("AI should not replace physician judgment") is a fair paraphrase of the physicians' concerns against Medicare's WISeR AI prior-authorization pilot. The quote is highly relevant to statement 440 ("Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies") - medicine is a regulated industry involving fiduciary duty to patients, and Jameson is criticizing AI autonomous denials. Vote direction "for" correctly aligns with the quote's opposition to AI replacing physician judgment. Year set to 2026 (WISeR launched January 1, 2026).
