We have 2 million people in prison getting health care. The government does a pretty good job with the mail system. Medicare and Medicaid actually work pretty well in terms of keeping track of its clients. We have police and fire departments that serve all the people. Can you imagine a fee for service fire department? The potential is there to make something better than we have. >From: evsono@pipeline.com (art fougner, md) >Reply-To: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net >To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L <ob-gyn-l@dns.obgyn.net> >Subject: Re: When Government Becomes Your Doctor >Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 07:54:59 -0500 > >Rely on Healthcare delivery from the folks who brought you the VA and >the DMV?

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.
