Before you know it the AMA gets so bureaucratic they have to double maybe triple the dues to cover added overhead cost, and we now are gripping at a $17.00 annual increase. I know this is as far fetched a thought as it gets and may God help us if any part of this bizarre prediction should come to fruition, but when you start talking about fair and equitable you run the very real risk of lifting the top on this Pandora's Box. My vote is KISS, Keep it Simple Stupid.
"Fair to all" can only happen when people are given choices of any offerings...take one, nothing or all...it should always be up to you as an individual...otherwise it's some form of socialism...but the concept of individualism is pretty much old school and antiquated thinking now....it seems people really can't handle that idea anymore...
