MARCH 3, 2009 YOU ARE NEEDED ON THE BUS!
Thanks to the work of MSSNY along with the Queens County Medical Society, specialty societies and thousands of physicians, medical liability premiums were frozen from July 1, 2008 thru June 30, 2009! Additionally, the proposed $50,000 surcharge was not imposed.
However, we must act now before the freeze expires.
If we don’t, the results could be devastating to your wallet.
This is your chance to let key legislators and regulators know that the physicians of Queens County are serious about the need for liability and managed care reform. If Albany does not act, patient access to quality medical care will be severely limited, and even more physicians will be leaving the state.
Join with your colleagues, office staff, families, friends (all are welcome)
by boarding the FREE buses to travel to Albany on March 3rd.
The QMS has pledged to work with all hospital medical staffs in an effort to coordinate bus transportation. However, we need to know the level of physician interest in order to plan the logistics of pickup locations and additional support supplies.
Please complete the lower portion and fax back to the Queens Medical Society
at (718) 268-6918 as soon as possible. Our futures are at stake.
PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY Fax to (718) 268-6918
