Even though new developments this week significantly changed how the Senate and House will consider health care reform, there remains an ongoing need for physicians to stay in touch with their representatives and senators. A dramatic political shift in the Massachusetts US Senate race, coupled with Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s statement that the House cannot pass the Senate health care reform bill without changes, signals a new direction that the NCMS will closely monitor. As your advocate, the NCMS will continue to provide updates and key documents at https://www.compassionatecarenc.org/healthreform, along with comments and new developments on the Doctor to Doctor blog. We urge you to contact your representative or senators today and tell them how meaningful reform can make a difference for your patients and health care delivery.
