A resolution states that the AMA “failed to achieve one single concession” in the reform bill and “fail[ed] to lead and represent America’s physicians and the American People on the signature medical legislative issue of this century.”
The FMA instead supports Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum’s lawsuit which called into question the constitutionality of the healthcare reform law.
The FMA’s next annual meeting will be held on Aug. 13-15. The organization has declined comment about the resolution until then.
