The ACP Advocate Blog by Bob Doherty (American College of Physicians) - 0 views

  •  
    Bob Doherty is the main Washington lobbyist of the ACP - after the AMA, the largest organization of US doctors (representing internal medicine physicians, whether primary care or subspecialist). He's had some very interesting posts since the Massachusetts Senate upset. His blog is a finalist in the sixth annual Medical Weblog Awards for the Best Health Policies/Ethics Weblog. Doherty articulates the ACP's case for supporting the current Senate&House Health Care Reform legislation (whose failure he & many others will end up leading eventually to more draconian limits on doctors & patients, in order to control the currently unsustainable growth in US health care costs (now approaching 20% of GDP).
