Cajun,
You have to understand that Dr. H. Sanford Frank eats, breaths, sleeps, dreams AMA and ANY disagreement with him about any subject concerning his apparent religion will be dealt with as a heresey from a heretic. That is unfortunate because before he went down that path many of us thought he was going to make a significant contribution to the future of our organization. He used to have a bunch of good ideas that needed some tweaking to be workable, but all seemed to represent a good place to start. Many have discovered that he is unwilling to compromise, to a fault. That tends to get the baby thrown out with the bathwater, which is NOT how we are going to grow the AMA.

R/C Outlaw, you seem to have the right idea but I am not sure for how long. We need to get the AMA more responsive to the membership, but more importantly we need the AMA to mean something other than insurance. Like it used to.
