Revision of the Any Willing Provider law continues to be the most important statewide legislative issue we face.
It is critical that we maintain our support for legislative action that will return the original law to its original intent to protect the private practice of medicine in Idaho.
The current law has been interpreted to allow closed physician hospital networks to grow and thrive. If allowed to continue unabated, this network mania could have the sobering effect of putting most of us out of business.
Our efforts to introduce legislation this past session to “fix” the Any Willing Provider statute were unsuccessful. This must not happen again.
Our second concern is the threat of re-introduction of the Hospital Immunity Bill. This Bill would have given hospitals the unprecedented ability to singlehandedly terminates physician’s privileges without recourse.
We thought we had successfully modified this bill at the IMA meeting last summer. Unfortunately the revisions that were passed at the annual meeting were not included in the final bill. This must not happen again.
The undersigned have elected to call a special meeting of independent physicians to discuss our legislative agenda for next year.

Let’s be truthful. “Sham Peer Review” is really ”Physician Peer Review Fraud”.
Health care fraud is a double entry system of accounting. We must discipline our thinking to reflect that of the accountant and lawyer so engaged in order to find the crooks and gather evidence of their misdeeds.
It is pointless to completely focus on the all too necessary whining and sniveling and cross examination of our self worth that the system forces us to do. We eventually only bail water into our own boats and vomit on our friends.
Every time you hear about sham peer review of independent doctors, ask yourself what is on the credit side of each equation. Richard Willner is the chief epidemiologist of this. Is it in the thousands?
Perhaps it is in a number of smaller accounts. All corporately shielded by immunity from HCQIA and added onto our national debt.
This s the real Healthcare Fraud. The Fraud done to the individual doctors who are destroyed under a well meaning Federal Law along with the National Practitioner Data Bank which leads to a Fair Hearing which is not “fair” and hardly a hearing.
Almost every doctor tattooed with this “Bad Doctor” has NEVER had a malpractice suit. How can this be? This leads to being tossed from the Hospital like week old fish and Loss of the Medical License.
You don’t have to wait to Obama Care. It started in 1986 and, what is shocking about these “BAD Doctors” is that these doctors who no malpractice suits have way less than their accusers. What else stinks like day old fish?
But, after 11 years of study, there is HOPE. The CPRJ has developed ideas to help the Physician and Surgeon.
Congressman West. What a guy!! Note on his right label the Israeli/American flags.
The congressman is in the center.
The Congressman from Michigan
This guy is so much fun. He is the former President of the Harris County Medical Society. He is Real Texas. Look closely at his tie and shirt.
Miss Arkansas BEGGED me for a picture. I could not refuse her.
