My profession is in a battle. Lawmakers are trying to take away the term physician from Florida Optometrists. If you know me, you know I hate titles and being referred to as "Doctor" but the problem with this is they may take away optometrists ability to bill certain insurances (Medicare/Medicaid). Below is article that explains my perspective on this. If you have time, please read it and ask Governor Desantis to veto SB 230. I appreciate your support.
