Federal Legislation Impacting Cancer Care in 2011 - A Free Educational Webinar
Oncology Practice Education Series offered by US Oncology
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2010 mid-term election results have been described by many as historic in nature due to the large shift in seats in the House of Representatives. For many cancer patients and other Americans this change in government may implicate changes in overall healthcare plans. For oncologists and community-based oncology practices across the country, this shift in government begs the questions: How will this impact my community-based oncology practice in the upcoming years and what can I expect in 2011?
