Advocacy

2026 Florida Legislative Session

Stay informed and engaged during the December 2025 Fly-In to Tallahassee, ahead of the 2026 Florida Legislative Session, with the Broward County Medical Association’s advocacy resources.

The December 2025 Fly-In to Tallahassee offers physicians the opportunity to discuss health-related bills with Florida legislators.

Fraser Cobbe and Joe Daraskevich get in the holiday spirit ahead of a week where members of multiple medical societies will be meeting with legislators in Tallahassee.

This episode touches on some important issues that will be top of mind as the doctors sit down with state Senators and Representatives. Fraser kicks things off with some thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and how AI will be a hot topic within all communities, including the medical profession.

Fraser and Joe switch the focus to tort reform and close the episode by turning their attention to autonomous practice. Medical care in rural communities has been an important concept for the last few years, so Fraser explains why organized medicine is in favor of a team healthcare concept where MDs and DOs are the leaders of the team.

Physician's Guide for Florida Seniors

Selecting a Medicare Advantage Plan in Florida

The Broward County Medical Association (BCMA) is proud to release the 2026 Physician Guide for Patients Selecting Medicare Advantage Plans.

With more than 613 licensed Medicare Advantage Plans in Florida, offered by 30 different companies, navigating the options can be overwhelming for seniors trying to choose the best plan for their healthcare needs.

This guide is based on data gathered through a survey of physicians across Florida. Our goal is to help seniors make informed decisions when comparing Traditional Medicare to Medicare Advantage plans, especially in understanding what protections they may give up versus the benefits being marketed to them.

The report highlights several key factors that can impact access to care:

  • Network Adequacy
  • Prior Authorization Requirements
  • Drug Formularies
  • Step Therapy Protocols

The challenges of returning to Traditional Medicare if pre-existing conditions make obtaining supplemental insurance difficult

This physician-driven resource serves as a valuable tool for seniors and their families as they evaluate their healthcare options during the annual Medicare open enrollment period.
