Doctors Blast the AMA for Pelosi-Care Endorsement; Will Hold Public
'Shout-out' at AMA Houston Meeting on Saturday Nov. 7 With Tea Party
Protestors
HOUSTON, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Association of American
Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) blasted the AMA for again publicly endorsing
the massive Democrat healthcare reform bill in Congress.
"The AMA has sold out patients, and sold out the profession of medicine for a
few dollars of Medicare money," said Ms. Serkes. "In July they endorsed HR
3200 and took a lot of heat and lost members in droves. "With the endorsement
of HR 3962, it's now painfully clear the AMA does not represent it
membership."
A large public demonstration has been organized by physician coalition "Take
Back Medicine" on Saturday in Houston. After speaking at the Tea Party
Express at the Sam Houston Raceway, AAPS Director Juliette Madrigal-Dersch,
M.D. of Marble Falls, TX, and Kathryn Serkes, Director of Policy and Public
Affairs, will ride the Tea Party Express bus, leading a caravan grassroots
activists to join protesting doctors at the AMA meeting.
"They have one last chance to rescind this endorsement," said Serkes. "If
they don't, the damage with the medical community will never be healed."
