In a major victory for patient safety, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has VETOED #AB2236, legislation that would allow optometrists to do eye surgery with minimal training. https://t.co/j3kKrPoj2r

Thank the Governor for his wisdom. @GavinNewsom

Optometrists doing eye surgery? Not a good idea

[California Medical Association @CMAdocs]

Californians deserve far better than the substandard training and potentially dangerous care that would be allowed under #AB2236; we can only hope that our legislators won’t allow this plane to take off. #NoOnAB2236 @aao_ophth #caleg https://t.co/9cMVXAKl3g

The data says it all. Patients prefer a physician to lead their care team. To ensure this, vote NO on SB 134, @SDSenateGOP, @SoDakSenateDems, @SDSenateLeader. #AskForAPhysician

[AMA @AmerMedicalAssn]

**Action Alert** South Dakota physicians: Tell your Senators to vote NO on SB 134. The bill would allow PAs to practice independently post-graduation, and after only 6 months of collaboration. https://t.co/2BBuT8HmwR #AskForAPhysician @SDSenateGOP @SoDakSenateDems @SDSenateLeader

[CAEPS @CAEPS]

Looming Medicare payment cuts will affect nearly every surgical specialty, with reductions of up to 9%. These will reduce patient access to surgical procedures, including sight-saving eyecare. Call on Congress to STOP the cuts. #CutsHurtPatients https://t.co/tO6LjU9e5W

The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule ignores both patients and the surgeons who care for them, putting more pressure on an already fragile health care system. Congress needs to take action and waive Medicare’s budget neutrality requirements before it’s too late.
