Actually, when big business provides healthcare for its workers, I kinda look at that as quasi-socialism. "Big Brother" is "taking care of me" -- he gives me my salary, my healthcare, my lunch breaks, etc. I can see the benefit to the business -- try what you can to keep your workers healthy. But it takes the initiative away from the worker.

Now, health INSURANCE companies are just that -- insurance companies. They follow Pastorek's Law.

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.
