Texas Medical Association Making House Calls
You can't pick up a paper or turn on the television set without hearing about national “health system reform, universal health care, or the Obama plan.” It is critical that our patients know that their physicians are at the table as well. TMA is on top of the discussions and we are analyzing the different Congressional plans. More importantly, TMA is shaping its own Texas-style health care reform package. We believe that any health system reform must put the needs of our patients first..


TMA is currently traveling across the state co-hosting town hall meetings, aka for “House Calls,” with county medical societies. Our goal is visit at least 10 communities while our U.S. representatives and Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchinson and John Cornyn are back in Texas during the August recess.

TMA wants to have a candid discussion with Texas patients. We want to hear firsthand what they think about our health care system and about our plan. The only way to accomplish that task is by listening to our patients. That is why TMA is making a House Call in your community. Please join TMA and BCMS. Plan to attend our House Call meeting in San Antonio and bring your patients.
