Liability Reform: 2003 medical tort reforms stopped the epidemic of lawsuit abuse. It is critical that these reforms do not get rolled back.
Budget: Our public health agencies need robust funding and a strong infrastructure to fulfill their lifesaving mission to prevent and eliminate disease. Neglecting public health over time carries a high, avoidable price tag.
Medicaid: Low-paying insurance with volumes of bureaucratic regulations are bad for us and our patients. Medicaid needs to be fixed to improve healthcare stability.
Corporate Medicine: Physicians need to be able to exercise professional medical judgment in treating patients without financial or other outside pressures.
Scope of Practice: Scope of practice should not be expanded beyond what is safely permitted by nonphysician practitioners’ education, training, and skills.
Health Insurance: Fair contracts, fair payments, fair dealings, and coverage that's meaningful for patients are vital to a stable healthcare delivery system.
