What does PAMPAC do? PAMPAC uses member contributions to support the election and retention of pro-medicine candidates. PAMPAC also campaigns against vulnerable incumbent legislators who consistently vote against the interests of patients and physicians. For example, PAMPAC:
-
Played a pivotal role in the November 2004 election of Bob Regola over state Senator Allen Kukovich, who for 22 years repeatedly voted against the interests of physicians
-
Broadened its candidate support program in early 2001 to include judicial candidates vying for statewide appellate court vacancies
-
Provided unprecedented financial support and an extensive grassroots network in the election of Supreme Court Justice Mike Eakin, whose influence, along with other like-minded justices, can be credited with much of the Supreme Court’s recent adoption of pro-medicine court rules
Through PAMPAC, you can have a highly visible impact on the election process and help shape the future of reforms such as medical liability, patients’ rights legislation, and insurance contract reform.
