Hi bro': obviously lots of questions and info that can be plucked away from his website. I will tell you that he will fight for our cause: specifically, scope of practice issues with regards to paraprofessionals would be a huge thing in his endeavor to help our specialty. He fully realizes the issues that our specialty specifically faces with the new administration in power/CMS issues. I have personally worked in the same institution as Andy and have personally taken over some of his cases--all I can say are positive things from a personal and a professional level. One of his friends whom I have met and got to know is the Georgia congressman Tom Price (an orthopedic physician). In case you were not watching, congressman Tom Price was one of the instrumental leaders who offered an alternate, feasible plan to the HealthCare bill. Unfortunately congressman Price was viewed as a thorn by the Administration and, as the Democrats had wished all along, they crammed the Healthcare bill down our and the public's throats.... Since you are going to the pain meeting, walk up to Andy Harris and introduce yourself and inform him of your views. Tell him that you support him! He is a guy who can tremendeously help our specialty, I hope he wins this time around!
