Guys check out this website. It is a coallition opposing some of the AMA's tactics. Forward the site to all Nurses, PT's, RT's ect that all 4 million midlevel healthcare providers will know and understand what the AMA is up to. Also forward this to all your family members and friends that support your profession. Public awareness is imperative in these instances. The Public trusts and has faith in Nurses, PT's, RT's ect. They should know what others are doing to effect our practice and their care.

SOme patients can not see any provider they want because of their insurance. If they have a PPO then they can chose, but if they have an HMO they have to go to one of the doctors listed, unless of course they plan on paying cash. Some one has to pay, and the tax payers already pay enough medical bills for other people. Sure people argue that we should do things like Canada, but from what I hear, they do not get the best medical care, and since the "government" pays the medical bills they have say it what happens.
