Palm Beach County Medical Society (PBCMS) President Jack Zeltzer, M.D., released the following statement today regarding the Supreme Court’s decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA):

 

“Now that the Supreme Court has made its decision on the PPACA, PBCMS must work within the framework to continue doing what we deem to be right. Palm Beach County’s physicians will continue to ensure that our patients have access to quality, affordable health care delivered by the physician of their choice. PBCMS is also committed to the preservation of physician autonomy as a main pillar in support of proper patient care. Additionally, we will continue our work to eliminate fraud and waste in the health care system.  It is critical to address these issues now so that patients can receive the first-class care they deserve and so that physicians can provide that care in a patient-focused, cost-effective way.”
