American College of Physicians (ACP) The ACP Advocate: House's Health Reform Bill Retains Provisions Important to Primary Care

Again the ACP leadership supports a healthcare reform bill that falls woefully short of ACPs stated principles. The SGR repeal is carved out in a separate bill that has already failed once, and there is lip service for tort reform. Our leadership has failed us...again.

I'm mailing my ACP resignation letter today. Looks like we're all on our own from now on. The only way way for us to make any difference is to let the ACP know that if they're govt lapdogs, then we want no part of them. Probably won't make a bit of difference, but at least I'll sleep better at night and can look my kids in the eyes and tell them their Dad stands up for what is right and puts his money where hismouth is.

As health care reform proceeds, it is incumbent upon legislators, physician leaders and practitioners, and those responsible for training the next generation of physicians to address the “primary problem” and avoid its becoming the Achilles’ heel of our health care system.

Sigh...This article is silly and sophmoric. It says: "The problem with lack of primary care is that there aren't enough primary care providers, and to fix the problem we need more primary care providers." It fails to address the question of WHY there aren't enough of us primary care docs. Answer: Its a crappy job and its only going to get ... Read Morecrappier as the govt gets more and more involved in managing our careers and influencing our pay through its attempts to put our best payors, private insurers, out of business. The ACP continues to suffer from a severe case of RCI (Recto-Cranial Inversion) which so far seems incurable.

Good job AMA and ACP! You sacrificed anything productive which might have come out of "health care reform" on the altar of getting rid of "SGR," and now that's going down the crapper too! Keep up the good work.
