More about PAMPAC

What does PAMPAC do?

PAMPAC uses member contributions to support the election and retention of pro-medicine candidates. PAMPAC also campaigns against vulnerable incumbent legislators who consistently vote against the interests of patients and physicians. For example, PAMPAC:

• Played a pivotal role in the November 2004 election of Bob Regola over state Senator Allen Kukovich, who for 22 years repeatedly voted against the interests of physicians
• Broadened its candidate support program in early 2001 to include judicial candidates vying for statewide appellate court vacancies
• Provided unprecedented financial support and an extensive grassroots network in the election of Supreme Court Justice Mike Eakin, whose influence, along with other like-minded justices, can be credited with much of the Supreme Court’s recent adoption of pro-medicine court rules

Through PAMPAC, you can have a highly visible impact on the election process and help shape the future of reforms such as medical liability, patients’ rights legislation, and insurance contract reform.
