Assembly Health Committee Agenda Next Week: Physicians Urged to Oppose Corporate-Owned Retail Clinic Bill There are several bills of note on the Assembly Health Committee agenda next week, some supported by MSSNY, and some we oppose. These include:
- Legislation (A.958, Paulin) strongly opposed by MSSNY which would authorize the establishment of clinics in corporate-owned retail stores. To send a letter in opposition, click here:
- Legislation (A.2539, Gottfried) strongly supported by MSSNY that would prohibit a health insurer from denying care unless it is reviewed by a physician in the same or similar specialty, and licensed in New York State; and
- Legislation (A.2703, Gottfried) strongly supported by MSSNY that would clarify that the statutory liability protections offered for physician participants in MSSNY’s Committee for Physicians’ Health (CPH) program extend to the organization who sponsors the program as well as its employees.
