Key Health Reform Issues: AMA President Dr. James Rohack

Host: Michael Greenberg, MD Guest: J. James Rohack, MD If you've been following the health care reform debate as closely as we have, you may be suffering from a case of whiplash, with so many proposals and so little time to wade through all the back-and forth on each of them. As Congress heads into its customary August recess, we'll take a step back to examine the issues that could make or break the various proposals for overhauling our health care system. For one perspective on the progress toward reform, host Dr. Michael Greenberg welcomes American Medical Association (AMA) President Dr. James Rohack. Dr. Rohack addresses a range of issues, including the nuances of AMA's recent support for House bill HR 3200, the effectiveness of AMA in representing the interests of all physicians in this reform debate, and the prospects for true medical liability protections in the final reform bill.
