Physicians have stood on sidelines too long as you have watched your control over the practice of medicine taken over by politicians, insurance companies and regulators – people who have never laid a hand on a sick patient, explained to a sobbing child why she needs a “shot,” or made split-second life-or-death decisions.

They’ve never know what it’s like to have a make a decision whether to “break the rules” or do what’s best for your patient in spite of the rules.

For too long, doctors have been carrying the burden of a scheme that increasingly leaves you out of the decision-making process, and tells you that your first responsibility is to the government or insurance company, rather than your real clients, your patients.

The country is looking for physicians to take the lead in the current debate on health care reform. It’s become clear that big organized medicine -- like the American Medical Association (AMA) --  isn’t truly representing you and your patients.

There are tens of thousands of doctors who feel the same way you do.

It’s time to make your voice heard loud and clear.

On November 5th and July 16th, the American Medical Association (AMA) endorsed the House legislation that would in effect establish government medicine.

Why did they do it? They sold out for a few percentage points in the SGR.

Do you think a miniscule raise --that can be revoked at any time -- is worth selling out for government control of medicine and your profession?
