Drops AMA Membership
In response to the endorsement by the American Medical Association of the Senate Health Bill, Missouri State Representative Rob Schaaf, M.D., a practicing family physician, is dropping out of the AMA and urges fellow physicians to do the same.
"The AMA has ignored the best interests of patients, opting to protect special interests," Dr. Schaaf said. "Physicians need to send the AMA a strong message that they will not tolerate AMA's support of this horrible bill."[3]
