Senator Durbin, Rep. Halvorson teleconference with CMS members
|
Keeping abreast of evolving legislation Advocating for all Chicagoland doctors during this historic time for health care delivery, CMS recently hosted a teleconference connecting members with Senator Richard Durbin and Representative Debbie Halvorson (D-11th Dist). And while doctors and legislators agreed to disagree on some issues, CMS members were able to submit questions and relay their concerns about Medicare payment reform, the public option, and medical liability reform, among other hot-button topics. Moderated by CMS President William N. Werner, MD, MPH, the teleconference was the latest push by the Society to engage and represent members in the national health care debate. Indeed, this past year your CMS listened as members expressed their sentiments on the President’s Blog and in two physicians-only CMS Town Halls. Their comments were pivotal in shaping the Society’s stance toward health care reform. | |

Dear Colleague: CMS is saddened and disappointed by the Illinois Supreme Court’s decision today to overrule the state’s hard-fought cap on non-economic damages in medical liability cases. Saddened and disappointed not only for physicians, but for our patients as well.
CMS’ Young Physicians Group (YPG), Resident District, and Medical Student District were accompanied by several physicians from the general membership to a social and networking event at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday, September 18th. The Chicago White Sox played against the Kansas City Royals. Unfortunately, the White Sox lost 10-0, but the loss did not dampen the fun night for 120 CMS members and guests.
