I know Physicians Healthcare was raided by the government and now are in the same building as Physicians Healthcare Associates over at Remcon Circle. They have an office on the eastside and Northeast. Read this article below

The doctors mentioned in the above article can be found with their major ties to NCED and AccessHealthsource in here. Google this below

Lobbyists have disproportionate influence over our daily lives that have placed their own industry under the public's eye through their excesses. Politicians have been bribed, gifted with trips, dined and dated that in the end have become the Lobbyists personal gofers. Are these the individuals who have John Doe in their best interests? The Lobbying industry are part, parcel and root of many of our problems of which the most salient has being the evolving political corruption.

Lobbyism needs a heavy dose of reformation.

I agree with all the comments above. Many lobbyists and adocates, doctors and healthcare workers are really greedy businessman that see nothing but dollar signs. NCED is a good example how they were never in it to help the disabled but for the mountains of cash they would get their hands on. From what I hear they have no business doing this but they do anyway and the FBI is letting them get away with this? Come on.
