Thank you the countless advocates who penned letters, wrote emails, and called on our state legislators and media outlets to fight the proposed 3% physician tax. On October 20, MSMS hosted a White Coat Rally in Lansing consisting of close to 1000 people. The Kent County contingent of 80 was comprised of physicians, alliance members, physician assistants, residents, medical students, and supporters. Thank you for rescheduling patients, forgoing potential revenue, and sacrificing time out of your busy schedule to participate! Even if you did not take these tangible measures, your membership in the state and county medical societies helps send a cohesive message.
Thank you for renewing your membership. Our physician community was successful in presenting a message en masse to preserve patient access to care in Michigan. At the most basic level we entered this profession to help people. It is frustrating to see the discriminatory, band-aid approach by which our state legislators are attempting to fund the budget. As we reflect on the changing climate of health care, we are thankful for the opportunity to serve patients–both in the local, clinical sense, as well as in the organized, collective sense.
