I didn't think this was another PPP gripe thread, but since it is, I'll add my comments.

I would say that the majority of AMA members don't really care one way or the other about the PPP. It's only on these RC forums that I see from the vocal dozen or so that has a beef with it. Some may not like it, but they are still doing their best to help support it and the AMA. Seems like that's the right approach to take in my mind.

I didn't either, but after about 2 messages that's what it became. And my comments below really won't become a "gripe" until after the beginning of the year, and if no such information is forthcoming from AMA. As I said in an earlier message, I'm willing to donate another $1.50 of my dues to the program if some clearly defined goals and definition of "success" are laid out.

I agree with your last comment. However, as I've indicated, I think that the AMA leadership owes information and plans about PPP to the membership if they expect to maintain some of that support. IMO the most important thing is a set of goals. I'd like to see them clearly define what PPP "success" means to them in terms of cost, membership headcount, revenue, etc. If those things aren't defined then any program, not just PPP, will tend to roll along with no real oversight or improvement. That's my $.02, anyway. If the AMA leadership has that definition they should let the members know what it is. If they don't have it, then shame on them.
