At the invitation of Chris G. Constance, MD, I had the opportunity to speak to the Charlotte County Republican Club about the challenges facing the medical community in Florida, including declining physician reimbursement, the aging patient population, rising liability costs and an impending physician shortage. I also spoke about the Florida Medical Association’s (FMA) 2009 Managed Care Legislation that is on its way to Governor Crist and awaits his signature. I asked that everyone in attendance contact the Governor’s office and ask him to sign this bill. Click here to read this UPDATE from FMA President Steven West, M.D.
