CASE NO.: SC04-1054
ADVISORY OPINION TO THE 
ATTORNEY GENERAL
 
RE:  PHYSICIAN SHALL 
CHARGE THE SAME FEE 
FOR THE SAME HEALTH 
CARE SERVICE TO EVERY 
PATIENT
___________________________________________________________________
         The Attorney General has asked the Court for an advisory opinion as to 
whether the financial impact statement prepared by the Financial Impact Estimating 
Conference on the constitutional amendment, proposed by initiative petition, entitled 
"Physician Shall Charge the Same Fee for the Same Health Care Service to Every 
Patient" is in accordance with section 100.371, Florida Statutes.  The Court finds no 
basis for rejecting the financial impact statement under section 100.371(6), Florida 
Statutes, as amended by chapter 2004-33, section 3, Laws of Florida.  The financial 
impact statement may be placed on the ballot, but the Court expresses no opinion on 
the merits of the financial impact statement.
No motion for rehearing will be allowed.
PARIENTE, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANTERO and 
BELL, JJ., concur.
