WHAT DO REAL DOCTORS THINK ABOUT HEALTH CARE REFORM?

The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons launches its "TAKE BACK
MEDICINE" project with a virtual Town Meeting of doctors to explain their
opposition to government medicine & discuss ways to take back medicine for
patients.

A panel of more than 20 distinguished physicians will lead a discussion of
doctors logging on from across the country for an unprecedented live National
Physician Town Meeting. They will tell specific stories of the negative
impact on their practices & patients.

Questions to be discussed:
-- Why the government plan is bad for patients and doctors
-- The horrendous impact a National Health Board would have on access to
care
-- Why doctors will quit in droves if current plans pass
-- Why big medicine doesn't reflect practicing doctors
