Now, given that AMA tells us they are already recognized as a CBO (per Chad B.), why would they want this added? Perhaps to make it more difficult on competitors to compete for membership dollars?
Of course there's something nefarious and underhanded there......adding that language wouldn't make it any more difficult for any entity to mirror what the AMA does. The market is there for the taking......clearly nobody is up to the task to take them on. Why is that?
