This event is sponsored by the South Pinellas 9.12 Patriots. There is seating for 200 and they already have over 50 people signed up from their group. They have invited us to join them.
Guest speaker Dr. David McKalip, a private practice brain and spine surgeon in St. Petersburg, will give us an update on the current status of health system reform proposals. His presentation will include a 30-minute DVD entitled "Faces of Government Medicine" and a question and answer session.
Dr. McKalip serves as chairman for the Council on Medical Economics for the Florida Medical Association and led the effort to write a health system reform plan for the FMA that focuses on individual financial empowerment of patients. President-elect of the Pinellas County Medical Association and President of the Florida Neurosurgical Society, he serves on the Florida Delegation to the American Medical Association's key policy-making body.
Dr. McKalip founded Doctors for Patient Freedom and is working to ensure that individual savings, choice and competition create better and more affordable medical care for Americans.
