Senator Tom Coburn and Congressman Price are likely to be busy with their congressional duties. The awards will be accepted by representatives of their offices on their behalf.

Doctors for Patient Freedom is an organization of physicians dedicated to ensure that patients receive high quality medical care in their best interest, are empowered financially to manage health care spending on their own behalf and enjoy the constitutional freedoms American patients deserve. 2007 Award recipients: Donald Palmisano, M.D., Stormy Johnson, M.D.; 2008: William G. Plested, M.D., Greg Scandlen.

Edward R. Annis, M.D. is a legendary figure within American Medicine who has fought to preserve the freedoms patients deserve for decades. Elected AMA president from the Floor of the AMA House of Delegates, in a 1962 Madison Square Garden speech he worked to spread the message about the government “…defining services, setting standards, establishing committees, calling for reports, deciding who gets in and who gets out [of hospitals]-what they [patients] get and what they don’t” And how government could “…stand between patients and their doctors and serve as the forerunner of a different system of medicine for all Americans.” His landmark Book “Code Blue” exposed the many problems with government and corporate control of medical practice and abuse of the tort system in 1993.
