On behalf of MSMS, Medical Society President Michael A. Sandler, MD, a Wayne County radiologist, submitted the MSMS Future of Medicine report to the White House this week through the websitewww.healthreform.gov.
In his letter, Doctor Sandler urged President Barack Obama to focus on the four major principles outlined in the Future of Medicine report as he addresses national health care reform: Quality, Value, Wellness, and Universal Coverage through a reformed insurance market.
With Michigan in line to receive $7 billion in federal funding during the next two years toward health care, education and infrastructure spending, MSMS continues to remain very engaged in health care reform discussions.
Also, MSMS engaged in the national health care reform dialogue at several events in March.
Doctor Sandler, along with MSMS Executive Director Julie L. Novak, attended the Midwest Regional White House Forum on Health Care on March 12 in Dearborn; a group of more than 20 MSMS members and Alliance members, including Doctor Sandler and Ms. Novak, attended the AMA National Advocacy Conference to meet with members of Congress in early March in Washington, DC; and Ms. Novak attended a forum in Detroit on March 11 convened by Newt Gingrich, Director of the Center for Health Transformation.
