Needed Immediately – Your Support to Keep AB783 from Passing Out of Committee TODAY!

June 20th, 2011

Last week in California, a Senate Committee voted down AB 783 that would have allowed medical corporations to employ physical therapists.  Today at 1:30pm, it is being reconsidered. What can you do to help?  We need every physical therapist, patient and friend to contact the members of Senate Business and Professions and URGE opposition to this bill.  This fight can only be won with your help!

Your supporting vote on this matter would:
1. Save hospital and independent physical therapists’ and their employees’ jobs.
2. Put an end to substandard care delivered in POPTS practices.
3. Save Californians and the state hundreds of millions of dollars.
4. Put an end to the referral monopoly that has crushed so many independent physical therapy practices.

How to help:

1.  CALL:  If you haven’t called yet… please call before 11:30 am Monday morning.  Contact information is included below. If you have already contacted the senators on the B&P committee – great job!!  Please take 5 minutes and call them again!

2.  FAX: How about faxing the Senators now a copy of this NBC LA Article: “Doctor-Run PT Clinics Scrutinized.“
