Fair and accurate points. You and I agree on the big picture of the AMA financials, although we disagree on some nuances. I believe the AMA needs to cut expenses by 6%, and I suggest salaries of the leadership be tied to neutral budgets.
However, this topic is about value, not long-term feasibility. You and I will have to agree to disagree. I see value in the present - capitalism teaches me to get the most goods at the lowest cost. The long run danger does not affect today's value. Just because company X is going out of business, I will not stop buying their products - and gaining value - because they are priced too low.
