    FALL EDITION More Photos Pg 17 2 3 4 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR “Physicians Need to Stay Involved in the Political Process” John Ayres, MD Orthopedic Surgeon Coastal Orthopedics With the mid-term elections behind us, there will be some changes in what to expect out of Washington over the next two years. The make-up in the House of Representatives is now 239 Republicans to 188 Democrats. Re- publicans gained 61 seats, which exceeded the 39 that they needed to control the House. This will mean changes in the leadership for the Ways and Means Committee, Budget Committee, Financial Service and Senate Banking Committees, and Oversight Committee. In the Senate, the Democrats still have a majority, but Repub- licans gained at least 6 seats reducing the disparity to 51-46 with an additional 2 seats held by Independents who caucus with the Democrats. In the Senate, where a filibuster threat requires a 60-vote supermajority to pass a bill, Democrats will not be able to use their slim majority to pass controversial proposals. Animosity and grid- lock between the two parties will work against finding any long term solution on any of the major issues. The President’s health care reform was pushed through without the support of the public and has generated con- sistently negative results in the polls. This issue is second only to the general economy in terms of importance to the public. Republicans capitalized on promising to repeal this bill. Any appeal has to be approved by the White House and this not going to happen while Obama is President.
