A time for new starts. Some of us start with New Year’s resolutions, which often do not last. I would like to challenge all of you to a resolution you can do that can last. I urge you to resolve to get more involved with your Medical Society. We need your help, and in this issue of The Forum, we provide some information to help you further understand what we can accomplish together. In this issue is the preview for the new state legislative session which starts early this year, in January, due to the 2018 elections. Please read through the preview to see what we are trying to accomplish to help physicians and our patients, and what we are up against. To help pass healthcare-friendly legislation, we need legislators in Tallahassee that listen to us and are favorable to our causes. We can improve the outcome of our legislative sessions with help in contributions to the CCMS Political Action Committee (PAC). That comes from you. If you have not already contributed to the PAC for 2018, we encourage you to send your check to the CCMS PAC today, or pay online at ccmsonline.org/membership. We suggest $100 per member, but of course any amount is appreciated. The new year also brings more emphasis on MIPS and MACRA. Are you ready? We have offered educational materials and webinars this past year to help you learn what you need to do. I hope all of you are a step ahead and will not loose Medicare payments. For more information, visit our healthcare resources page at ccmsonline.org for a link to the AMA’s MACRA toolkit. CCMS has numerous committees that could use help as well. Let us know if you are interested and we will get you involved on one of these committees. You can help the membership, programming, legislative, PAC, physician wellness, or women physicians’ group. It does not take a lot of time since phone conferencing is the majority of our get-togethers. Your input is very helpful. We listen to your comments and ideas. We also look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events including an evening of updates at NCH on January 15th, and also an evening at Physicians Regional in February. Both seminars will focus on the “Emerging Technologies” in place at their respective facilities. And stay tuned for details on the CCMS Spring Membership Meeting, March 28th, which will provide education on legal aspects of our profession. As always, we encourage and welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions. Call the CCMS office at 435-7727 or reach out to any of our board members. Whether you have a practice-related issue, legislative question, or any concern, we will do our best to address it. I predict that 2018 will be a year of changes in the world both positive and negative. Here at home we can help each other and make our own changes to better the community of medicine.

During an election year where Florida elects a new Governor and Cabinet, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement at the very top of the ballot, but there’s more to this election than who Florida elects as its new Governor . As the saying goes, all politics is local . And that’s more important than ever . This year, all 120 seats in the Florida House, 22 seats in the Florida Senate, 27 Congressional seats and one U .S .

  • Pfizer Inc. Regarding Congruency of Political Contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation
    SANFORD J. LEWIS, ATTORNEY January 28, 2021 Via electronic mail Office of Chief Counsel Division of Corporation Finance U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street, N.E. Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: Shareholder Proposal to Pfizer Inc. Regarding congruency of political contributions on Behalf of Tara Health Foundation Ladies and Gentlemen: Tara Health Foundation (the “Proponent”) is beneficial owner of common stock of Pfizer Inc. (the “Company”) and has submitted a shareholder proposal (the “Proposal”) to the Company. I have been asked by the Proponent to respond to the supplemental letter dated January 25, 2021 ("Supplemental Letter") sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission by Margaret M. Madden. A copy of this response letter is being emailed concurrently to Margaret M. Madden. The Company continues to assert that the proposal is substantially implemented. In essence, the Company’s original and supplemental letters imply that under the substantial implementation doctrine as the company understands it, shareholders are not entitled to make the request of this proposal for an annual examination of congruency, but that a simple written acknowledgment that Pfizer contributions will sometimes conflict with company values is all on this topic that investors are entitled to request through a shareholder proposal. The Supplemental letter makes much of the claim that the proposal does not seek reporting on “instances of incongruency” but rather on how Pfizer’s political and electioneering expenditures aligned during the preceding year against publicly stated company values and policies.” While the company has provided a blanket disclaimer of why its contributions may sometimes be incongruent, the proposal calls for an annual assessment of congruency.
