title: Division plays pivotal role in state society's priorities.
abstract: Last session's legislative scales most often tipped in favor of Pennsylvania physicians on issues we addressed. State Society-endorsed laws are in place concerning AIDS confidentiality, medical education funding levels, and a statewide task force on drug and alcohol abuse. A score of Society-opposed measures have been defeated. Meanwhile, battle continues on portions of the Medicare balance billing law and the auto insurance law.
