What doctors and lawyers do is called a “practice” because they are always trying to get it right.
This was born out by the latest news that the American Medical Association’s alleged “endorsement” of HR 3962 wasn’t really a proper endorsement after all. Not that the need to follow proper procedure has ever stopped President Walking Eagle from weaseling or bullying to take what he wants, of course, but in this case, those of us who were baffled and stunned by the unexpectedness of his remarks on the eve of a forced vote for the bill sure hoped something had gone awry.
And, indeed, AMA members who understand the ugly effects of the legislation on their field have let it be known that PEW’s use of an endorsement was made without the formal approval of the organization’s House of Delegates. Which means there is really no endorsement at all. The matter will be put to rest by the AMA following their own procedures properly on Monday.
May sanity prevail.
