That all depends on your definition, as Andrew pointed out. How much would it be worth to not have to beg for reimbursement from insurance companies, and if the legal liability issues were reduced to a bare minimum?

All of the health care organizational cards have been thrown into the air and how they are arranged as the fall back to the ground is now being designed. It would be much better if we all worked for a real health care system, and quit running around crying that the "socialists are coming, the socialist are coming."

The last time that happened the insurance corporations gobbled it all up while everyone was watching Harry and Louise advertisements and wringing their hands... now we have corporate bean-counters telling patients which preferred providers they can see and telling physicians which exams and therapies they cannot order. In spite of the video clip Art just posted... in my mind I just substitute "insurance corporation" for "government."

Peace, Terry

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.
