Dear Physician Colleague, My name is Vanila Singh, MD. I’m an anesthesiologist and Pain management physician at Stanford Medical center and I’m running for US Congress in California. While our medical professional organizations are trying their best to represent the interests of patients and physicians in a changing healthcare environment, they are losing the battle. Whatever your views on current healthcare reform legislation or your political ideology, most practicing physicians agree our system is a mess and not definitively changing in patient’s interests. The chance to elect a physician to the US Congress is rare – and my candidacy has a real chance of success. That’s why it is being supported by the American Medical Association, The American Society of Anesthesiology, The American College of Radiology, among others. I aim to be a staunch physician and patient advocate – opposing the Independent Practice Advisory Board, wholesale cuts to primary care and specialties, and abolishing the flawed SGR formula which threaten and devalue our practices yearly. I will also work tirelessly to bring tort reform to the forefront of the national discussion on healthcare – to reign in the Medical Malpractice industry which has developed to prey on our sacred relationship with our patients. My campaign is facing a tough but winnable primary challenge this month in the midterm elections. Physicians need to understand they are a powerful and credible voice in the national healthcare debate. With your help, we can win, and move one step closer. Won’t you please consider donating "$10 or $20" to my campaign? "That's all it takes." If only half the physicians receiving this email contributed this amount, we would easily be able to get another strong physician voice – your voice – into Congress.
