All,

As a 9 month member of AMA, I read this thread with a great deal of interest.

I am bothered by the charges that AMA is using member fees to build what amounts to Augusta National (i.e., a posh, private club).

However, there seems to be one area where more facts are really needed. That is, the claim that the insurance AMA provides is hard to make a claim against.

Would it be possible for some of you who actually made a claim to relate the circumstances and the reaction of AMA?

In my case, $58 for a membership is not a problem, my club would be (literally) dangerous if it were not for the AMA rules that they can't totally ignore, and the magazine is pretty lame but has an occasional good article.
