Every patient deserves a trusted physician to be on their side, explaining health conditions, answering questions, and ensuring patients truly understand their care. Physicians bring expertise, empathy, and years of training to the patient-physician relationship – and Medicaid protects a physician’s ability to provide care and ensures access to care for patients who need it most.

When we strengthen Medicaid, we strengthen the patient-physician relationship.

A Connecticut family is suing the hospital that failed to ensure quality medical care was provided that ultimately lead to the death of their son. Far too many hospitals are cutting corners in patient care in Missouri too. Patients in crisis deserve to have a physician present and leading their care.

"As the lines continue to blur between man and machine, it becomes incumbent upon physicians to understand and guide AI for the best interests of humankind, and continually emphasize core medical values including compassion, integrity, and wisdom.

In this perspective, we will provide an overview of history, challenges, current state and future potential of AI in healthcare. With ever increasing pressures including workforce shortages, complex patients, and declining reimbursements, AI offers the opportunity to reimagine the nature of healthcare with human–robot assistance and medical superintelligence.

As AI exponentially increases in capability, physicians will need to continually adapt to advancing technologies in order to proactively design the future of healthcare."

You need great vision to keep an eye on the Missouri Legislature - and you will want to once you find out what some legislators want to allow to happen inside your head!

Some interests in our state are trying to loosen the laws about who can operate on eyes in Missouri.

Missourians deserve physician-led care for procedures inside the eye. Call the Missouri House of Representatives today and ask your own Representative to leave eyes to the physicians!
