I am concerned that the AMA will try to derail this mandate that is long over due. I worry that they fully do not understand what they are asking and those who have waited to "see" what happens may be left holding claims for millions of dollars. <br />MelindaMelindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553795965038906281.post-72084743362495945872012-02-07T13:04:45.698-08:002012-02-07T13:04:45.698-08:00Thanks for your comment Phil.

Since the insurance company's Profit & Loss has always been based on 'working/playing the odds', how are they to move forward with a viable business plan, if their whole "reason for being" is turned upside down?!?!
