AAPS Member Dr. Rand Paul Wins Presidential Straw Poll
Longtime AAPS member Rand Paul, M.D., who spoke at our annual meeting in 2009, won the first major Presidential straw poll for 2016 at CPAC today.  Congratulations, Rand! Ideas do matter. It is interesting that no member of the AMA is doing as well on the national political stage as AAPS members are. Of course, we welcome members of all political stripes.  At the same time, we continue to advocate for less governmental interference with the practice of private and like Rand Paul, we oppose ObamaCare, and earlier this week we filed an emergency motion for injunctive relief before the... read more

A Physician Reflects on the 2013 Inaugural Address
By: Marilyn Singleton, M.D., J.D. Despite the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday, many of us were too busy seeing patients to hear President Obama’s second inaugural address. It was less painful to read the transcript. “What binds this nation together is not the color of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names,” he stated. Then let’s end the government’s obsession with African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans (but never European-Americans). We are all Americans. I feel some moral authority and passion on this subject as a black American whose family moved here from England in... read more

ObamaCare Worse than Canadian System
By G. Keith Smith, M.D. - SurgeryCenterOK.com For all the criticisms I’ve written about the Canadian healthcare system, I think that all things considered, it is probably better (as awful as it is) than what we know as ObamaCare. I see the two recent Presidential candidates as a socialist (the winner) and a fascist (the loser). The socialist is a wealth redistributionist primarily, but moves in some fascist, public-private partnership circles to fuel his financial needs. The loser, while giving lip service to “liberty” and “freedom” is primarily a tool of the businesses that serve to benefit from their relationship... read more

Defensive Medicine: How To Survive ObamaCare
By Richard Amerling, M.D. - http://Twitter.com/DrAmerling It’s been a horrible year for individual liberty. First, John Roberts re-writes the Obamacare legislation in order to side with the four liberals on the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of the individual mandate. Then Mitt Romney, a moderate technocrat, failed to make the case to change course with the electorate, in my view largely because he was unable to effectively challenge Obamacare. The federal noose is tightening inexorably around our collective neck! How can we, as individuals, defend our families and ourselves? These are desperate times and require desperate measures. Allow... read more
The Fight Continues
The battle to stop the attacks on patients and their physicians must and will press on, yet it is time to reexamine the strategies employed in the fight. Yesterday's election results portray a country where too many of our fellow Americans have been deceived by politicians into believing that only Washington can "fix" their problems.  Patients who want individualized high-quality care, and the physicians who want to provide it to them, must avoid this mindset.  Now more than ever the responsibility to stop the subjugation of medical care by government and insurance company bureaucrats lies directly in the hands of... read more
