Future Physicians Descend On Capitol Hill To Demand A National Public Plan

Today, more than 100 future physicians from across the nation will descend on Capitol Hill to lobby on upcoming health care reform legislation. The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) calls for a robust public health insurance option funded by tax revenue, available to all Americans. "I look forward to one day practicing medicine the way I am taught, and the way I and all health care providers should be practicing, with the knowledge that my patients are finally able to receive the care they need," says Farheen Qurashi, AMSA legislative director and medical student at the at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. "It looks like that day is within reach - if we just reach a little farther." "AMSA is proud to offer an opportunity for AMSA chapter officers to engage in the political process," says Dr. Lauren Hughes, AMSA"s national president. "It"s AMSA"s belief that the best solution to our healthcare crisis is a single-payer system of publicly funded, publicly accountable, privately provided quality healthcare for all." AMSA"s Lobby Day kicks off the 26th Annual AMSA Chapter Officers" Conference, July 16-19, 2009. This year"s conference, "AMSA: 60 years of Community, Leadership and Empowerment" will include keynote addresses by Dr. Bob Kocher, partner, McKinsey & Co. and senior fellow, McKinsey Global Institute; and Dr. Gloria Wilder, founder of Core Health and nationally renowned expert in poverty and economic segregation in healthcare.
