[LWVNM Action] Patient-Led NM Healthcare Summits

[Judy Williams]

Dick, you are correct.   These appear to be provider-led, and I'll bet they
will have selected "patients" (aren't we all?) to support their positions.
So they should just skip these shows and ask the legislature for what they
want: tort reform, reimbursement increases and less oversight.  They don't
mention the interstate compacts - do they not want more providers?
