Information for AOA Members on Health Care Overhaul Legislation
March 31, 2010A Special Message from AOA President, Randy Brooks, O.D.
Randolph E. Brooks, O.D.
Dear Colleague:
Today, I’m forwarding links to updated materials posted on the AOA website designed to provide you with useful information on the new health overhaul law.
Regardless of how we may feel personally about the massive bill Congress approved and the President just signed into law, we can be very proud of the AOA’s role in fighting and winning key battles to expand access to optometric care.
Up against the insurance industry, organized medicine and other deep-pocketed special interests with an anti-optometry agenda – who if given the chance would have sought to erect new barriers between our patients and us – we have prevailed. Now we stand on the brink of a new era in our dealings with health plans.
If you have any questions or if you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact me or our Washington Office team at 1-800-365-2219 / ImpactWashingtonDC@aoa.org.
Sincerely,
Randolph E. Brooks, O.D.
AOA President
