Make no mistake: achieving health reform that provides all Americans with affordable, high-quality health coverage this year is vitally important to the AMA.

In President Obama’s recent address to the AMA he said he would listen to and work with physicians to pursue our shared goal of meaningful health reform. The AMA is actively engaged in working with Congress and the administration to achieve health reform that best meets the needs of patients and physicians.

J. James Rohack, M.D.
President, American Medical Association
