Bill,
Why does the Academy Leadership choose not to rally behind one of the
pending legislations? It would seem a stand of one sort or another is
better than none. Is it not the duty, responsibility, obligation, etc.,
for the Academy to pursue any legislation that is to the betterment of
the Profession and the Practitioner? (Not to mention the patient,
consumer, client, etc., and MediCare and other 3rd party payers?)
In all due respect, a question, If the passing of either of these bills
might constitute 'Anti-Trust', is that not an issue for Congress to deal
with, as they would be the ones to pass the law and not us?
Please pardon my straight forwardness, but the Academy did not seem to
have a problem with supporting Consolidation, so why not Legislation?
Respectfully yours,
E. Reed Coleman, C.P.
