Crowley Political Report

Washington's The Hill is reporting that the Florida Medical Association is expected to vote next month on a resolution to cut ties with the American Medical Association.

According to The Hill, a "scathing resolution" will go before the FMA's House of Delegates during their annual meeting in Orlando which runs from Aug 13-15.

The resolution accuses the AMA of having,"failed to achieve one single concession” in the healthcare reform bill. It also accuses the AMA of “failing to lead and represent America’s physicians and the American People on the signature medical legislative issue of this century.”

According to The Hill, the resolution bears the name of Dr. Douglas Stevens, a past president of the Lee County Medical Society.
