In early July, physicians started a new organization, the American Society of Medical Doctors (www.theASMD.org ), to give physicians a unified voice on issues that affect their relationship with patients. Alfred Bonati, MD, ASMD’s chairman, said of the Obama health care proposals, If these are enacted, the American health system could be opened up even more to bureaucrats making critical health care decisions instead of physicians with patients and their families….No longer will we stand by while others speak on our behalf. We will stand up and speak for ourselves. We will defend ourselves and our patients.
