The Miami-Dade County Medical Association (MDCMA) is proud to highlight one of our dedicated physician leaders, Dr. Jorge L. Marcos, Vice President of our Board of Directors, for representing both our community and the specialty of neurology on the national stage.

From February 22-24, 2026, Dr. Marcos traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in "Neurology on the Hill", an annual advocacy event hosted by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).

During Neurology on the Hill, AAN members meet directly with lawmakers to educate them about the critical role neurologists play in patient care and to advocate for meaningful health care reform. Discussions this year focused on protecting patient access to neurologic care, addressing physician workforce challenges, supporting medical research, and advancing policies that reduce administrative burdens on physicians.

Dr. Marcos joined colleagues from across the country in engaging members of Congress and their staff, ensuring that the voice of Florida physicians, and the patients we serve, was heard in key policy conversations. His participation underscores the importance of physician involvement beyond the exam room. Advocacy is essential to protecting our profession and improving the health care system for all.

At MDCMA, we are proud to have leaders like Dr. Marcos who understand that medicine and policy are deeply connected. By stepping forward at events like "Neurology on the Hill", he demonstrates the impact physicians can make when they unite their clinical expertise with civic engagement.

Please join us in thanking Dr. Jorge Marcos for his leadership, service, and commitment to advancing neurology and patient care at the local and national levels.

From December 8-10, physician leaders and delegates from the Miami-Dade County Medical Association (MDCMA) traveled to Tallahassee for the annual Legislative Fly-In, engaging directly with Florida legislators to advocate for policies that protect patients, support physicians, and preserve the integrity of the physician-led healthcare system.

During a series of productive meetings at the Capitol, MDCMA delegates focused on key priority issues critical to the practice of medicine and the physician-patient relationship.

Among these was the need for human review of health insurance denials. MDCMA strongly supports HB 527 and SB 202, which would require that medical necessity determinations be reviewed by qualified healthcare professionals rather than automated systems. Delegates emphasized that coverage decisions should be made by humans, not algorithms, to ensure timely, appropriate care for patients.

Delegates also advocated for payment certainty to benefit patients and physicians, supporting the issue outlined in pending legislation to be filed by Representative Dean Black. Ensuring fair, predictable reimbursement is essential to maintaining patient access to care and sustaining physician practices across Florida.

In addition, MDCMA expressed strong opposition to HB 6003, legislation related to medical liability lawsuits. Delegates underscored concerns that this bill could lead to skyrocketing medical malpractice costs, increased defensive medicine, and reduced access to care for patients.
Finally, MDCMA reaffirmed its opposition to the expansion of scope of practice and strongly advocated for physician-led, team-based care.

Delegates emphasized that patient safety and quality outcomes are best achieved when care teams are led by physicians with the education and training necessary to manage complex medical decision-making.
MDCMA extends its sincere gratitude to our dedicated leadership and physician delegates who took time away from their practices to represent Miami-Dade physicians and patients in Tallahassee. Their advocacy and commitment are vital to advancing our shared priorities.

Advocacy efforts like the Tallahassee Fly-In are made possible through the support of the MDCMA Political Action Committee (PAC). We encourage members to support the MDCMA PAC to help amplify our voice, strengthen our advocacy efforts, and ensure that physicians remain at the table when healthcare policy decisions are made.
