The North Carolina Medical Society is among several specialty organizations and state medical societies that have expressed “strong support” for HR 5295, the Healthcare Truth and Transparency Act of 2010. The coalition endorsed the measure in a letter sent May 12, 2010 to U.S. Representatives John Sullivan (R-OK) and David Scott (D-GA), co-sponsors of the bill.  The legislation seeks to ensure that patients have access to accurate information regarding the education, training and qualifications of health care providers.
