Dear Colleague:

I would like to bring your attention to a very important campaign currently underway

on Sermo. The Sermo physician community is working on drafting an "open letter to

the people of the United States" reflecting our concerns and frustrations about the current trends in healthcare. Our goal is to get thousands of signatures on this letter and distribute

it widely via the internet, national newspapers, and downloadable educational tools to be handed out to patients. Sermo has pledged significant support to facilitate the process.

We are now drafting the key messages of the letter in the posting I'm sending you (see link below). On 2/22, we will start writing the letter. Sermo members are participating in the entire process and so far we have been able to make a lot of progress.

This is a unique opportunity for us to tell our side of the story to the public. We have been silent for too long and it's time to speak out. This is a grassroots effort that can serve as a nidus for unity among physicians and pave the way for our direct involvement in a new wave of healthcare reform. Please take the time to check out the posting and start contributing by sharing your ideas with the physician community on Sermo. You may also want to reach out to your colleagues to join Sermo so they can participate in this important campaign.

Sincerely,

Khozin, MD, MPH
