With national health system reform the hot issue in DC, the insurance industry biannually fighting patient-centered reforms, and tort reform perennially attacked by the Austin trial lawyer lobby, Texas physicians need to maintain their political vigilance.

A Message from TEXPAC's Chair

We are at a crossroads. Legislative and regulatory threats to physician autonomy are growing. The only way to protect our profession — and our patients — is to get engaged and stay engaged.

Joining TEXPAC doesn’t mean you have to get political. It means you care about your ability to practice medicine, and you believe physicians — not outside interests — should be leading the conversation on healthcare in Texas. It means being part of something larger than yourself — an organized, respected voice that can open doors, shape legislation, and protect the values we all share. Our collective strength ensures we’re not just reacting to policy, but helping to write it. Whether you give, speak or simply stay informed, your involvement matters. The future of medicine in Texas depends on what we do now — together.

TEXPAC has a strong tradition of enormous success in staving off attacks on tort reform, increasing Medicaid payments, and stopping scope of practice incursions.
