AMA strategy: work for peace, plan for war

Article Abstract:

The American Medical Association (AMA) is prepared to negotiate with the Clinton administration over its planned healthcare reform policy. Once the policy is announced, the AMA plans to give its members a detailed analysis of it within one week. In the following two weeks the AMA plans to link up with state medical societies via satellite for meetings. In the third week, the AMA plans to increase its lobbying of Congress. Although the AMA supports reform, it does so only when its best interests are not in jeopardy.
