This sure does look like a series of attacks on one Horrace Cain and I swear this very attacker reamed me out and told me not to do that. I smell the rotten stench of a double standard since he seems to be saying the same things I was (and still think)...

That being said I also warn of those that insist all solutions must be complex for they are just looking for another way into your wallet or trying to get more control over your life. Created complexities are how bureaucrats justify their continued existence at our expense. One other item to note that many seem to ignore. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the financial well being of the AMA is NOT tied to the insurance industry but is a smoke screen used to hide other expenses we may or may not like but have no right to know about. If we had that right, they would be reported in MA before the funds were spent to give the membership a chance to know anything about budget plans.

Sort of like when the dues were raised because we had a cash flow problem and just after the very first EC meeting after the dues increase the AMA announced it had bought a show. I don't think that was anywhere as clean a process as it should have been, but it is water under the bridge since we now have the Winter show in southern California.
