The TMA House of Delegates efficiently dispatched an immense agenda at TexMed 2008 in San Antonio. Among its actions, the house:
- Adopted private- and public-sector strategies for TMA to pursue to reduce the number of uninsured Texans;
- Recommended that TMA work closely with the Texas attorney general on issues such as health payment plan programs that rate physicians and the underpayment of noncontracted physicians;
- Voted to support the addition of cystic fibrosis to the panel of tests for newborn screening;
- Supported efforts to expand and promote state student loan repayment programs; and
- Replaced TMA's policy on gun control with one that focuses on responsible gun use.
More information on the House of Delegates action will be published in June issue of Texas Medicine.
