Good pharmacy takes more than being a good pharmacist
While
you have control over a wide range of activities related to the practice
of pharmacy, the best, most forward-thinking pharmacist can do no more
than the law will allow.
There
are emerging issues within our profession that must be addressed. And
there are external forces constantly attempting to regulate our profession
even more.
These
issues call for a unified effort among pharmacists from across the state
working for a common goal: to establish prudent public policy in the interest
of public health and the pharmacy profession.
Good
pharmacy takes more than being a good pharmacist. It takes the involvement
and commitment of each of us within the profession to protect our interests
and promote public health and good government. That's why we formed the
Pharmacy PAC.
The Pharmacy Political Action Council is a voluntary, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of pharmacists who are interested in promoting good government and public health.
The prescription for good government is written. It's up to you to fill it.
Dear
Fellow Pharmacy Professionals,
If not you...who? If everyone thinks someone else will get involved, our concerns may never be addressed. Only when each of us does our part can pharmacy issues be adequately promoted.
Today's business and professional environment is becoming increasingly
difficult. Unnecessary red tape and restrictive regulation have driven
costs up and hindered our ability to do our jobs. And if we stand by and
do nothing, it will become even more difficult. Only by joining together,
can we make our voice heard on the issues that concern us most.
Your
involvement is vital to the success of the Pharmacy PAC. I encourage you
to get involved today. Learn about the issues that face your profession.
Learn what you can do to promote good government and pharmacy issues.
If you
have questions or would like more information on how you can become involved,
please call the Pharmacy Political Action Council at (517) 484-1466. I
look forward to meeting you and working with you.
Sincerely,
Henry
G. Fuhs
Chairman
Why
is my contribution so vital now?
There
are already several bills of direct interest to pharmacists currently
before the legislature. Pharmacy PAC is working very diligently to institute
programs with the state, which utilize pharmacists in key disease management
roles, and pay them for this service. It is of major importance to Pharmacy
PAC to enable pharmacists in Michigan to be routinely reimbursed for providing
pharmaceutical care.
Pharmacy
PAC was extremely vital to the campaign success of former State Representative
Ehardt's election and we will continue to recruit and promote pharmacists
to run for elective office. We need your help to achieve these goals!
In addition,
we have been receiving several solicitations from legislators who are
trying to pay off debts incurred during the last election. In order to
contribute to these pharmacy-friendly legislators, we need your help.
Pharmacy
PAC needs personal dollars (contributions from individual people's accounts,
not from businesses or organizations) in order to contribute to these
key legislators.
Thank you for your contribution and for your support of your profession.
