Physicians: Make your voice heard in November
Elected officials' decisions directly affect physicians, our patients, and the future of health care in Texas. From protecting the patient-physician relationship and preserving physician-led care to addressing access, workforce, insurance practices, and the growing role of technology in medicine, public policy increasingly affects what happens in our practices and exam rooms.< /br>
That makes physician participation in the Nov. 3 General Election especially important.
The Texas Medical Association Political Action Committee (TEXPAC), TMA’s bipartisan political action committee, supports
candidates based on issues important to physicians and patients.
Its endorsement process considers candidates’ positions on legislation affecting physicians’ ability to care for patients, input from physicians and county medical societies, district considerations, and other factors.
