I recommend people watch <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/obAd7">Milton Friedman's "Freedom To Choose"</a></strong> as well as this incredibly informative <strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt0tKl0J-S4">Youtube video</a></strong> so people can better think for themselves on whether or not the AMA really serves the people's interest.

The AMA continues to advocate for an increase in the physician workforce, especially as we work for all Americans to have affordable, high-quality health coverage. We need to attract the best and brightest to careers in medicine and help practicing physicians continue to provide high quality patient care.
