Florida Medical Association Applauds Medical Liability Reform Passage
News from the FMA Alliance Legislative Loop
Tallahassee
— The Florida Medical Association (FMA) applauded the Florida House’s
passage of the FMA’s priority medical liability reform bill, HB 827:
“On
behalf of our 20,000 physician members across the state, the FMA commends the
Florida House for joining the Senate in passing this critical piece of
legislation, which represents a major victory for medicine in Florida,” said
Vincent DeGennaro, MD, FMA President. “For years, we have fought to
correct unfair imbalances in the tort system that are hostile to doctors. The
passage of HB 827 isn’t just a victory for physicians. Making our state a
friendlier place to practice medicine attracts more doctors to Florida, which
increases Florida patients’ access to care.”
“We
thank our House sponsor, Rep. Matt Gaetz, for championing these essential
medical liability reforms,” said FMA Executive Vice President Timothy J.
Stapleton. “We are also grateful to our sponsor in the Senate, Sen. Tom Lee,
and the leadership of both Senate President Don Gaetz and House Speaker Will
Weatherford. We look forward to Governor Scott signing HB 827 into
law.”

depressors) :-)
History of National Doctors’ Day
On March 30, 1958, a Resolution Commemorating Doctors’ Day was
adopted by the United States House of Representatives. In 1990, legislation was
introduced in the House and Senate to establish a National Doctors’ Day.
Following overwhelming approval by the US Senate and the House of
Representatives, on October 30, 1990, President George Bush signed S.J. Res.
#366 (which became Public Law 101-473) designating March 30th as “National
Doctors’ Day.” Today, the red carnation is commonly used as the symbolic flower
for National Doctors’ Day.
