“The Senate must give Americans the patient protections they want and need now.--Thomas R. Reardon, MD, AMA President. "The AMA strongly supports attaching the Norwood-Dingell patients' rights bill to the DoD reauthorization bill. Patients and physicians have worked for more than half a decade on a bill to protect patients--and now is the time to make that bill a law. "Patients and their physicians have waited too long. The Senate must give Americans the patient protections they want and need now--not just a bill, but a real law that protects patients. "Patients and physicians are frustrated with the lack of progress in the House-Senate Conference committee.”
