Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hi everyone, I respect the differing opinions expressed here and I enjoy the debate but I feel that many may be missing my point. President Obama has said it best that we need " the will to change and the courage to compromise " . No matter what your opinion or concern is about pending reform, let your voice be heard. Even better, join with your fellow healthcare providers and find common ground so we can all move forwards with a louder voice. The APTA Virtual Rally for healthcare reform was tonight and here is the challenge. We need 10,000 emails sent 1000 phone calls Meetings with your members of Congress at your facility or at their offices (July 4th or August recesses) Attendance at fundraisers Let's get to work. Go to aptavirtualrally.com for all the details about tonight's rally and about how to act. The APTA now has a PATIENT ACTION CENTER as well at their website so let's get our patients involved and have them contact Congress as well. There are talking points about our priorities on reform at the website. For our colleague's in other professions, consult your professional organizations but please get involved. It is up to us now. There are aspects of reform we know about already that have been released in the last few weeks that could have negative effects on our profession and on our colleagues professions and many that will have positive effects. It is up to us, to you, to contact Congress now to let them know what we are recommending, what your profession is recommending and what we are all fighting for! Let's go! Tom Howell, P.T., M.P.T.
