Help PAPA End Lawsuit Abuse

MCARE Crisis could end your career!

You may be practicing medicine illegally!

As of March 31, physicians are required to pay their own unabated MCARE assessments--in many cases, adding tens of thousands of dollars more to medical liability insurance costs. If you have not paid your assessment, you might be in breech of state laws. PAPA urges you to make sure you are current on your payment.

In an attempt to strong arm the Pennsylvania Senate into approving his health care plan, Governor Rendell put an end to state funded MCARE subsidies. The Senate stood moral ground, and now doctors have fallen victim to the governor's tyranical political roulette. How dare this governor use physicians as pawns in his political game?

PAPA is working with elected officials to end Governor Rendell's MCARE Crisis. It is important to expose how the Governor's holding MCARE hostage has harmed physicians both professionally and personally. Please send us your story TODAY!

Key stories could include the following consequences you suffered because of Rendell's holding MCARE hostage:

Taking a personal loan, home equity loan, tap into business line of credit
Might be forced to layoff staff
Seriously considering leaving Pennsylvania to practice elsewhere
Considering curtailing services to reduce insurance costs
Tap into child's college fund
Tap into personal savings
Other

A PAPA member called yesterday to report he was forced to take a $12,000 personal loan to cover the new MCARE costs imposed by Rendell.

His story and others will be the key to ending the crisis.
