What,
other than the $6 MA subscription,
do the $30 Family tier give up that justifies the $28 dues drop when they forgoe the magazine?
We can clearly wee some folks pay $14 more for getting the magazine than without,
we see some folks pay $28 more for the magazine than without.
Who is going to tell the $30 Family ama members that they are only saving $6 ?
Cause telling me the $30 folks are saving only $6 off the $58 aint cutting it.
They are not paying just $6 for MA, they clearly will pay $28 more for the sole purpose of getting MA... or what is that long list of goodies they give up to account for the other $22 savings of $30 Family
Besides, using the numbers from last years Aug & Nov MA
2005 MA Direct Cost 2186k

You see your doing it again. That is the COST. The financial statement with PROFIT and LOSS is listed on AMA member site, take a looksy.
Sorry but you can't fight the facts anymore kid, the magazine NET cost about $6-7 per member per year. Sorry but I'm going with Dave Mathweson on this one, he was smart enough to earn his title as AMA President.
