Doctors have high praise for Roskam
It is with pleasure that I write to you concerning U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam. I am a practicing cardiologist and resident of the 6th Congressional District and concerned about the looming health care reform in Washington.
Mr. Roskam has been extremely engaged in the debate and has been received very well by the physician community. He recently held a forum for the entire district that was attended by more than 150 physicians to officially review Mr. Roskam's analysis of the health care issues that are before Congress.
He subsequently allowed for a two-hour conversation, listening to the concerns of the physician community that was assembled. In addition, he provided guidance on where the physicians needed to take action in an effort for us to be involved in this debate.
Finally, he held several conference calls to provide further insight and review the concerns of the physician community. There is a clear belief that he was listening and that he shares many of our expressed concerns. Congressman Roskam has been an excellent adviser on how we might be better advocates for the kind of high quality reform that we all believe in.
