This may not really help the problem.

EmployEEs are often the ones who choose to skip the insurance so they get more take-home pay. Then they complaint about lack of healthcare. Everyone wants something for nothing and feel like they shouldn't have to pay for their own healthcare in any way, shape or form.

So these small volume employers can offer all they want. If they aren't MANDATED to SUPPLY insurance, the employees will, by and large IMHO, simply elect not to take it and have a temporarily bigger income. But it all gets them in the end, doesn't it?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
