Re: ACOG Key Contact message...From: art fougner, md (evsono@pipeline.com)Sun Feb 11 09:41:28 2001
Joe - i think you missed my point - for the insurance company going to federal court means stricter standards for plaintiffs and lower damage awards. that translates into lower cost projections so either lower premiums or higher profits ( depending on which side of the aisle you favor.) my point is that true cost savings will not be achieved unless something is done to derail the entire tort engine. if insurance companies go to federal court than lets send the docs cases there too for same reason - stricter standards and lower projected damages. also, cap damage awards for non-economic losses PERIOD. this patients bill of rights will initiate a cascade of events similar to what happened to california power. docs charges will be capped by insurance at a time when their expenses are rising uncontrollably. we don't need a bill of rights but a bold course of action. quite a hobson's choic facing us - support the patients' bill of rights and get hoist on our own petard. oppose it and be regarded as money-grubbing scum. and now time for the Comics. art

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.
