Man you hit the nail on the head. That piece of paper is not now nor has it ever been a LICENSE, it is proof of, in my humble opinion, the worthless insurance you have been forced to purchase from the AMA.
RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT POST
As far ''ronpaul'' that took offense saying I know nothing of what I write I suggest that all who read this post go the the AMA web site, search insurance, and pull up 2009 INSURANCE SUMMERY Effective March 31, 2009. Read down to the eight dot quote ''AMA Insurance is ''excess'' to any other applicable coverage, such as homeowners'' Then go to ACCIDENT/MEDICAL COVERAGE Effective January 1, 2009 where it says ''Reimburses medical expenses only after submission to OTHER health plan, including MediCare''
Your friend that got injured and received a timely payment from the AMA in the five figure range must have lived in a tree because for AMA to be the first coverage payee this guy would have had to have no howeowners, renters, or auto insurance. Check you facts before you throw a rock it just might fly back and hit you in your face.
tpes, you know dick about what you post. The payout was $25,000 (OK that technically is low 5 rather then mid 5 my error). It was a medical claim and the actual bills exceeded that so he got the max. The guy had no other health plan and is still to young for medicare/medicaid. Uninsurable do to pre-existing conditions.
So wise ass it paid $25,000......... I hardly call that worthless for a $58.00 membership fee.
