Mcare Timeline

At this point every physician is aware that Mcare relief will not occur in 2008.  This is in spite of valiant effort on the part of the Pennsylvania Medical Society to bring a viable resolution to this crisis and to bring the political parties together.  To date, both sides agree on the need for abatement and on basic principals, but they are still too far apart on the details of funding a plan to expand coverage for the uninsured.  We thought it might be helpful to include the entire timeline for Mcare as we close out this year.  We have also included the 2008 State of the State Address by Dr. Peter Lund, who is the Immediate Past-President of the Pennsylvania Medical Society.  Member Log on is required
