[QUOTE="RafBo, post: 1534750, member: 23937"] While the AMA has been a powerful lobby throughout history, they do not (directly) control physicians today. Physicians are licensed & regulated by their respective state medical boards who are in turn overseen by The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). The AMA serves as a lobby for the “Corporate Medical Complex” - in my 20 years being an MD I have never met one physician who admits to being an AMA member, although some probably subscribe to JAMA. The problem we have with medicine is the same as everything that plagues us today- Corporatocracy (or Fascism). We are playing into their game by participating in their products and commercialization of our society. Same thing goes for healthcare which is a scam given to employees after they subtract the cost (liability) from the employee’s pay. But people are convinced they need (or have a right) to coverage of things like a stubbed toes and runny noses. [/QUOTE]
